Proof karma does exist!

The O.J. Simpson verdict is guilty on all charges related to the incident in which he broke into a Las Vegas hotel room last year. The 12 counts included armed robbery and kidnapping and carry a possible sentence of 15 years to life.

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

The football Hall of Fame inductee and former actor was found guilty on all charges exactly 13 years to the day after he was aquited of murder charges in the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Even though he was acquitted of murder in that incident, he has never gotten out from under the shadow of suspicion in that horrific crime. His attorneys have already announced that they will appeal the verdict. They have stated that they don’t feel he can get a fair trial because of his infamous trial of thirteen years ago and the public perception that he may have gotten away with murder. Gee, maybe he should have thought of that before he went out and killed two people and then wrote a book confessing to the crimes. Ya gotta love karma baby!
