The Las Vegas Saga of O.J. Simpson

O.J. Simpson’s story got a new Las Vegas chapter added to it.

You couldn’t write this stuff.

As with all stories, there are different versions of this story and it can get a little confusing. This isn’t just some robbery case. O.J. Simpson does that to news stories. There is more on the line than just seeing four men behind bars for robbing a pair of sports memorabilia collectors.

Hanging in the balance is the fate of a man, who many people believed eluded justice that cool October morning in 1995 when he was acquitted of the double-murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Like Al Capone, who got away with doing all the terrible deeds a mobster does, was finally brought down by mere tax evasion, Simpson may find himself spending the rest of his life in prison but for the events of that fateful September 13 confrontation in room 1203 at Palace Station.

The simplified version of the story is that something happened in that room. Guns may or may not have been drawn. Sports memorabilia was definitely stolen. Of course the assailants and the accosted offer different versions of the tale and that is where the police have had to pick up the pieces.

The next few posts will hopefully clear things up or perhaps offer a little more perspective into the case and what may happen in the future. The next part of this story will focus on the men involved in the case, including the Simpson’s side and a brief background of the legal teams.
