O.J. Simpson is Guilty...of Everything!
A jury in Las Vegas found O.J. SIMPSON GUILTY on Friday of EVERYTHING. O.J.'s co-defendant, CLARENCE "CJ" STEWARD, got the same.
Here's video of the judge reading the verdicts.
The "everything" in this case means 12 charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy. Eleven of those charges were felonies. The jury deliberated for 13 hours before reaching a verdict.
And by the way . . . Friday was the 13th anniversary of O.J.'s acquittal on double-murder charges. (--Literally, TO THE DAY. A Los Angeles jury messed up and set him free on October 3rd, 1995.)
After the verdicts were read, O.J.'s sister, Carmelita Durio, collapsed and had to be treated by paramedics. Carmelita was in court with O.J.'s adult daughter ARNELLE . . . who allegedly BLOODIED O.J. during an argument back in August.
As for sentencing, that happens on December 5th . . . and both O.J. and Clarence will remain LOCKED UP until then.
There's supposed to be a MINIMUM sentence of FIVE YEARS . . . so we ASSUME . . . (--although you never know with this legal system of ours) . . . that O.J. will have to do at least that much time.
But, as we've been hearing over and over again, both men could end up with LIFE SENTENCES.
There wasn't too much grandstanding during this trial, like there was during O.J.'s murder trial. Although one of the prosecutors did kind of unfairly bring up the murder trial in his opening statement.
He hinted to the jury that they could MAKE UP FOR O.J.'s acquittal on murder charges, saying, quote, "You will be able to write that final chapter, the chapter of arrogance and hypocrisy and that will be the true verdict. The verdict you can feel good about."
