O.J just needs to lay low and stay out of trouble- or move to Mexico!
According to LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two weeks after O.J. Simpson and two other men were ordered to stand trial on kidnapping and armed robbery charges, the former football star and his co-defendants face arraignment.
The three men were due in court Wednesday to enter a plea and have a trial date set for the alleged armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers.
Simpson and co-defendants Clarence "C.J." Stewart and Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich were expected to plead not guilty to 12 charges. A 3 1/2-day preliminary hearing offered a nationally televised glimpse of what could come at trial -Simpson, Stewart and Ehrlich each face kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, coercion and conspiracy charges. A kidnapping conviction could bring a life sentence with the possibility of parole. An armed robbery conviction carries mandatory prison time.
No new testimony was expected Wednesday, although defense lawyers have hinted at pretrial maneuvers that could affect the case. Lucherini has said he might move to separate his client's case from Simpson's.Galanter said he will seek a date "sometime next year," but declined to be more specific.Neither Stewart, 53, a Simpson friend and golfing buddy from North Las Vegas, nor Ehrlich, 53, a friend from Miami, are accused of wielding weapons during the alleged heist.
Simpson and his lawyers contend that he never asked anyone to bring guns to the hotel room at the Palace Station casino and he did not know anyone had guns.
Simpson, 60, of Miami, has maintained that he intended only to retrieve items that had been stolen from him by a former agent, including photographs, football awards and the suit he wore the day he was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
