O.J. Simpson, the former football star who was famously cleared of murder in the 1990s “Trial of the Century”, was convicted along with co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart on the 13th anniversary of his controversial 1995 acquittal, was ordered jailed by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass immediately after the verdict. Simpson and Stewart face sentences of up to life in prison when they are sentenced on Dec. 5.
Following 13 hours of deliberation, the jury found the former Heisman Trophy winner guilty on all 12 counts stemming from a confrontation in a hotel room last year.
Talking to press, Galanter said, “He’s (O.J.) extremely upset, extremely emotional, but it is something that was expected. Definitely someone like OJ Simpson, everyone has a fixed opinion of him and it’s troubling. I wasn’t surprised.”
