I know it’s on every channel tonight (they’re all hoping for a replay of those glory days of old, when Rockingham ruled the airwaves), but in case any lizards want to discuss it, here’s a topic for double murderer OJ Simpson.
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - O.J. Simpson, the former American football star acquitted of double murder in 1995, was charged on Tuesday with kidnapping, armed robbery and assault in a dispute over sports memorabilia at a Las Vegas hotel.
Simpson and his three co-defendants face a total of 11 charges that could send the 60-year-old athlete-turned-actor to prison for the rest of his life — a fate he dodged in his sensational “trial of the century” by winning an acquittal.
The Las Vegas charges stem from what authorities say was the armed theft on Thursday by Simpson of his own sports memorabilia from a pair of collectors who were staying at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.
