O.J. Simpson convicted of robbing memorabilia dealer
Remember back in September of last year when O.J. Simpson was busted for breaking into a hotel room with a couple of buddies he met at a wedding and robbing two memorabilia dealers? Well, he was finally convicted.
Thirteen years to the day after being acquitted of killing his wife and her friend in Los Angeles, O.J. Simpson was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.
The 61-year-old former football star was convicted of all 12 counts late Friday after jurors deliberated for more than 13 hours. He released a heavy sigh as the charges were read and was immediately taken into custody.
Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after his murder acquittal, could spend the rest of his life in prison.
His attorney said he would appeal.
What I wrote last year about this story still applies: He skates on double murder, but could get life in prison for robbing a sports memorabilia dealer. Sounds about right.

Karma, baby!
Does this mean that he won’t be able to find the real killers now?
Did the jury think of that before convicting him?
I’ll bet they didn’t
