And talk about (overdue) poetic justice! He will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Judge would not grant bail, so he was immediately handcuffed and escorted to jail. Sentencing is 12/5. He will get at least 15 years on the kidnapping charge ALONE...and there's 11 other charges! Also, not to go all "Natty", but the jury deliberated for 13 hours AND the date is 10/3..10+3=13. GUess 13 really IS an unlucky number for HIM...bwwaa haa haa!

I'm too lazy to look it up....but, I think the murders actually happened on June 13th! (it was either 12th,13th or 14th)

I hope this gives the Brown's and Goldman's some satisfaction and I hope this may help his kids have a happy, peaceful life.

O.J. Simpson convicted, jailed in Las Vegas

FACTBOX: O.J. Simpson, convicted in Las Vegas
2:27am EDTBy Dan Whitcomb

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - O.J. Simpson, the former football star who was famously cleared of murder in the 1990s "Trial of the Century," was found guilty on all charges in his Las Vegas kidnapping and robbery case on Friday.

Simpson, 61, was convicted along with co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart on the 13th anniversary of his controversial 1995 acquittal and immediately ordered jailed by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass.

Both could face up to life in prison.

The star-athlete-turned-actor appeared emotional as the verdict was read late on Friday night, and winced as he was handcuffed by marshals and led from the courtroom into a holding cell.

His sister, Carmelita Durio, collapsed in the courtroom gallery and his daughter Arnelle sobbed as he and Stewart were led away. Durio was treated by paramedics in a courthouse hallway.

Lawyers for Simpson and Stewart asked Glass to let the two men to remain free pending sentencing on December 5, a request the judge summarily rejected.

Simpson's lead attorney, Yale Galanter, said he would appeal the conviction, which came after some 13 hours of deliberation by the jury of nine women and three men.

Outside the courthouse, Galanter said he thought Simpson's past as a notorious murder defendant widely seen as having been wrongly acquitted was a factor in the swift verdict reached by the Las Vegas jurors.

VERDICT 'NOT A SHOCK'

"The verdict was not a shock. We knew it going in, there was a lot of baggage," he said.

Galanter said the jurors' answers on the selection questionnaires indicated a strong disposition by members of the panel to find Simpson guilty before hearing the case.

Members of the jury, who worked well into the night before returning their unanimous guilty verdicts on all 12 counts against Simpson and Stewart, declined to speak to reporters. The two defendants were convicted of conspiracy, burglary, kidnapping, robbery and assault.

The case centered on an armed raid by Simpson and five cohorts on a pair of sports memorabilia dealers at the Palace Station hotel and casino in September 2007.

Witnesses said the men stormed into room 1203 of the hotel and took thousands of dollars' worth of collectibles from dealers Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley at gunpoint.

Defense lawyers argued that Simpson went to the hotel only to retrieve personal mementos that were stolen from him following his Los Angeles murder trial and was unaware that two of his sidekicks were armed.

Four of the other men originally charged in the case have agreed to plead guilty and all took the witness stand for the prosecution during nearly three weeks of trial testimony that concluded on Wednesday.

Neither Simpson nor Stewart, 54, testified in their own defense.

Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found stabbed and slashed to death on June 12, 1994, and the popular former athlete was charged in the crime.

Simpson was found not guilty on October 3, 1995 at the end of a yearlong trial that transfixed much of the world.

A civil court jury later found Simpson responsible in a wrongful death suit and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims' families, a judgment that remains largely unpaid.
