Facing a Possible Life Sentence
On Oct. 3, 13 years to the day Simpson was acquitted of double homicide, a jury convicted him of armed robbery and kidnapping charges stemming from a September 2007 incident in Las Vegas. Simpson and five men raided a hotel room and took memorabilia that the Hall of Famer claimed had been stolen from him. He now faces a possible life sentence for the six-minute encounter, which was secretly audio-taped by the auctioneer who arranged the meeting with the unsuspecting collectibles dealers. Simpson, who denies he or any of his cohorts had a gun, plans to appeal the verdict. He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 5.
