O.J. Trial

The big story of the day, of the year perhaps, is O.J. Simpson has been found guilty of all charges relating to the robbery in Las Vegas. His co-defendant, Clarence "C.J." Stewart, was also found guilty.

Four other men initially charged in the case struck plea bargains that saved them from potential prison sentences in return for their testimony. Some of them had criminal records or were compromised in some way. One, for example, was an alleged pimp who testified he had a revelation from God telling him to take a plea bargain.
Memorabilia dealer Thomas Riccio, who arranged and secretly recorded the confrontation in the hotel room, said he netted $210,000 on the tapes from the media. He received immunity, and his recordings became the heart of the prosecution case.

I was in bed following watching the 1938 classic, Bringing Up Baby, when the jury reached its decision and handed down the verdict.

Another report is here.

For many people at least, justice was FINALLY done. Of course there will be appeals and so forth.

You can watch the video of the verdict right here.
