LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson has been found guilty on all charges in the alleged gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room more than a year ago.

The 61-year-old former football star faces a prison sentence of five years to life.

A weary and somber Simpson released a heavy sigh as the charges were read in rapid fire by the clerk in Clark County District Court. He was immediately taken into custody.

The verdict comes 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles.

Co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart also was found guilty on all charges and taken into custody.

Simpson and co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart were tried on 12 criminal charges.

The jury of nine women and three men deliberated more than 13 hours.

To the day? What a coincidence! Or perhaps not if justice is finally being served.

I guess instead of hanging out with CJ, OJ should have gotten AC instead.

The legal expert on CNN said that the kidnapping charge is a mandatory minimum 15 years that has to be served alone and that even if the Judge is lenient on the rest of the charges, that she will still have to add at least a year for each one.

This appears to put him down for the count.
