O.J. Simpson is back in the news after being arrested by Las Vegas authorities on suspicion of being involved in an armed robbery in which they stole his own sport memorabilia. Simpson will be charged with 6 felonies that include robbery with a deadly weapon and assault with a deadly weapon.
Simpson however claims that he didn't rob anybody and was only retrieving stolen property. "You've got to understand, this ain't somebody going to steal somebody's drugs or something like that. This is somebody going to get his private belongings back. That's it. That's not robbery." Sounds like he's got a hell of case there...
Simpson has a long list of run-ins with the law that include, paid a $130 fine for speeding through a Florida manatee zone, allegedly abusing his daughter, and pirating DirectTV broad cast signals. Simpson's reason for not calling the police in this situation was, "The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me. It just becomes a story about O.J." It's a good thing though that he didn't call the cops because this whole situation hasn't turned into "a story about O.J."
If convicted, Simpson would face up to 30 years in state prison on each robbery count alone.
