O.J. Simpson has been arrested in Las Vegas and will likely be charged on three counts -- conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and armed robbery with a deadly weapon, according to CNN.
Story developing ...
Nancy Grace stated he was double cuffed, making the space between hands larger, to make it more comfortable for him.
Listening to FOX this am and you are right.
LOL..talk about unintended consequences....or were they ;-)
For XXL prisoners who aren’t very flexible, police sometimes use two pairs of handcuffs, forming a four handcuff chain. One handcuff is placed on each wrist, and the two center handcuffs are linked together.
In one video, it looks to me like O.J. was restrained with two pairs of handcuffs.
It doesn’t look safe when the one in handcuffs can actually reach into his front pocket as OJ did.
“In one video, it looks to me like O.J. was restrained with two pairs of handcuffs.”
That’s how they explained it on TV....two pairs of cuffs...one hooked onto the other, so the second could be placed onto an immobile object if need be.
I don’t care one bit for OJ but it looks like to me that he was set up.
OJ isn’t the brightest bulb in the socket.
How many people think to audio tape while their being robbed.
All those involved in this mess are nothing more than sorry scum bag trash.
More to this story than meets the eye.
As usual the prosecutes are looking for 15 minutes of Nifong fame.
Key Simpson witness/victim suffers heart attack (Bruce Fromong)........

Here is the URL again to that item: Key witnes suffers heart attack

How ironic...If Fromong dies could they elevate the charges to Murder 1 and add a Conspiracy Charge ?...How about RICO if they find OJ was heading a continuing criminal criminal enterprise selling Sports memorabilia. And how about a Federal Charge of Income Tax Evasion ?...now we may have a glimpse into how he is getting his millions and maybe find the trail where it is going....as for the wedding that Simpson was best man to— read this from the NY Post.

And in case you missed last nights late night shows, here is a link to their comments on Simpson
ping to above -
A heart attack? OMG this keeps getting crazier.
Maybe they all could get life for kidnapping...That may be the long lever they need to make all the defendants turn against Simpleson...
As for being set up—if he knew he was going to be in Vegas 3 weeks beforehand to get his stuff back, how does that make it a setup?...if he gets his friends and plots how to do the ‘sting’, that’s a conspiracy ....if one of the memorabilia sellers has a tape and a camera to use as evidence if violence occurs by this double murderer how is that a set up ?..the defense is going to have to really stretch that excuse...
Still working- but just got this FOX news email alert:
O.J. SIMPSON CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING, SEVEN OTHER FELONIES; COULD FACE LIFE IN PRISON
If looks like Wikipedia is wrong. What is very odd is how wrong they are. I tracked back the jury composition through the whole trial and found that it was never the way the Wikipedia article claims. If a white female juror with a Hispanic-sounding name is counted as Hispanic then the jury was as Wikipedia claims only from March 1st to March 16th, 1995. This was fairly early in the 37 week trial. There were six more changes to the jury after this.
Sometime I'll have to learn how to edit or at least comment on Wikipedia articles. Generally I have been pretty happy with Wikipedia but I'll be a lot more careful about taking their word for anything after this.
Remember also that Alfred Beardsley said that he had “health issues?” None of these suspects or victims look very well to me...
Okay, see you on the other thread, just heard re the latest arrest.
In CA, kidnapping brings some serious prison time; no doubt the same in Nevada...
For those who are not near a tv, foxnews.com will be carrying the entire oj hearing live in 15 minutes.
