According to reports:
The jury of nine men and three women, none of them African-American,
began deliberations Friday after hearing from 22 witnesses over 12 days of
testimony. Chief among the witnesses were seven of the nine people inside Room 1203 of the Palace Station Hotel and Casino for the September 13, 2007
confrontation.
The evidence included testimony from the two dealers, four
co-defendants who cut plea deals and cooperated with prosecutors and hours of
often-profane, crackling, secretly recorded audiotapes.
Prosecutors alleged that the men, led by Simpson, burst into the
room, flashed a gun and threatened memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Al
Beardsley.
The men then filled two pillowcases with Simpson trinkets, signed
Pete Rose baseballs and Joe Montana lithographs. Simpson's defense attorneys
maintained their client was merely trying to retrieve personal photographs and
other mementos that belonged to him.
Neither Simpson nor his co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart
testified during the trial
