GUILTY NV - O.J. Simpson charged in Las Vegas armed robbery, 2007

[CarpeDiem]

One of the victims, Fromong I think, is in ICU after suffering a major heart attack.

I've been hearing about this too. He might not even make it.

I've been hearing about this too. He might not even make it.

Since he is a witness do we think OJ will get off again? I hope not as that is too much for the average bear to fathom.

 

[Taximom]

I know it's a leap, but wouldn't that be something if they charged OJ (and the others) if he dies.

I've been hearing about this too. He might not even make it.

I hope he does make it. He's one of the more reliable witnesses for the pros, I think.

Riccio is on LKL right now. He just said he was given immunity today by LV DA.

Talk about a sleazy slimeball.

Yale L. Galanter is OJ's attorney.

Mr. Galanter is called upon on a routine basis by the national broadcast media to provide informed courtroom commentary regarding prominent trials. These trials have included the Kobe Bryant case, the Michael Peterson case, the Scott Peterson case and the Robert Blake case among others.

Here is his web page. http://www.galanterlaw.com/

A convicted felon slimeball. They are going to believe him? :doh:

The immunity is supposedly for the recording that was made, as there was some question as to the legality of it. He wanted the immunity official before he handed over the tape.

Sometime within the past year or so, the phone rang at Victor Moreno's office in Las Vegas. Moreno, president of American Memorabilia, heard the man on the other end of the line describe some items of O.J. Simpson's that he was hoping to sell.
"I remember him telling me about a suit," Moreno said Monday, "but even that's not gonna go for much. I told him, 'Bruce, O.J.'s stuff is not gonna sell. It's a dead deal. It's not moving. Nobody likes him.'" Thus discouraged, Bruce Fromong went on to seek other avenues to move the Simpson items he said he had, Moreno says. The auction-house executive forgot about the entire conversation until this past weekend -- when Fromong surfaced as one of the two collectible dealers on hand as Simpson and a band of cocktail-party cohorts, some with guns, allegedly stormed a Vegas hotel room in an attempt to recover memorabilia items that Simpson claims were stolen from him years ago. One of the items Simpson thought he might get back? The suit he wore in court on the day in 1995 that he was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. It is the same suit that Bruce Fromong had already tried, unsuccessfully, to sell through any number of channels, including listing it on eBay. Riccio is the same man who sold Anna Nicole Smith's diaries for $512,500 on eBay about six weeks after her death earlier this year. He also was ready to peddle video of Smith's 1994 breast-enhancement surgery, provided to him by the doctor who performed the procedure, before being blocked by preliminary injunction last month. He is the man who booked Simpson two years ago to sign memorabilia at the NecroComicon show in Los Angeles, a move that took a weird turn when the show's other biggest names turned out to be mostly the stars of horror and slasher films. Whatever the motive, a profit for Simpson almost certainly won't be among the outcomes. In addition to facing six charges, including two for assault with a deadly weapon, Simpson also stands a fair chance of never controlling the items he says he went to the hotel room to recover.

David J. Cook, an attorney for Fred Goldman, told the Los Angeles Times he will seek a court order this week to prevent the release of the items until it's made clear who actually has ownership rights -- and to stake a claim for the Goldman estate as part of Simpson's wrongful-death conviction in the case. Among the other murky details of the current Simpson case is the notion that even the police aren't yet certain what belongs to whom, and among the possible owners are collectors Alfred Beardsley and Fromong, the two men allegedly in the room when Simpson and several other men entered.

"Either Mr. Beardsley is going to walk out with the stuff or it's going to be ours," Cook told the Times. "This property will never touch Mr. Simpson's hands ever again." more at link:http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=kreidler_mark&id=3024880

That makes more sense. Thanks, SuziQ

Where did you hear that? Just curious. He didn't elaborate on Larry King.

Quote:

KING: We understand you were given immunity today, right?

RICCIO: I was.

KING: By the Las Vegas police?

RICCIO: Right.

I'm just wondering - can the police give immunity?

They expect OJ to be released on bail tomorrow. Any guesses on the amount of bail?? Whoever guesses closest gets ???. I'll say $100,000.

 

[LinasK]

They expect OJ to be released on bail tomorrow. Any guesses on the amount of bail?? Whoever guesses closest gets ???. I'll say $100,000.

Where'd you hear that??? I heard the judge thought he was a flight risk with no ties to Vegas, so why give him bail now?

 

[Ca-Sun]

They expect OJ to be released on bail tomorrow. Any guesses on the amount of bail?? Whoever guesses closest gets ???. I'll say $100,000.

I heard there will be a bail hearing tomorrow, but that was it. I hope he isn't released on bail. $100,000 isn't all that much money to OJ I'll guess one million $.

 

[Jean]

I heard there will be a bail hearing tomorrow, but that was it. I hope he isn't released on bail. $100,000 isn't all that much money to OJ I'll guess one million $.

I agree, $100,000 isn't that much, especially for him. I hope they make it high enough so that he will give serious thought before he runs!!

 

[Bobbisangel]

Today it was said that the judge is out of town at the moment but will be back tomorrow for the bail hearing. It was also said that bail has to be set for anything but 1st degree murder. I hope the judge makes Simpson's bail so high that there is no way he can make it. Think Yale Glanter will dig deep in his pockets and pay the bail for his good ole buddy Simpson? Personally I can't stand either of those guys.

I am going to be so disappointed if Simpson gets away with this. He got away with murder and loves to flaunt it in everyone's faces as often as possible. He is nothing but a has-been celebrity that loves the lime light and craves attention. I feel sorry for his and Nicole's kids having been raised by this low life loser. "This is a Sting!!!" He is just pathetic:furious:

 

[cheko1]

I totally agree with you Bobbisangel!

I heard that phone calls were beeing made to try getting the money raised for bail. I hope nobody will post it for him.

I think the bail will be set very high since it is OJ & with his flight risk being a issue. I figure the judge will be star struck & make it a conservative 3.5 million.

 

[cheko1]

Since he is a witness do we think OJ will get off again? I hope not as that is too much for the average bear to fathom.

I sure hope & pray he don't get off of this rap.

 

[SadieMae]

I sure hope & pray he don't get off of this rap.

Hopefully karma has caught up to his a$$.
