Another October 3, another OJ Simpson criminal trial verdict.
Activity across the nation paused at 1PM Eastern on October 3, 1995, when a Los Angeles Jury found OJ Simpson not guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994. Simpson was later found civilly liable for their deaths.
Tonight, October 3, 2008, in Las Vegas where the most recent trial was held, Simpson has been found guilty on all 12 felony counts related to an armed robbery that took place in a Las Vegas hotel in September 2007.
The verdict came after 13 hours of deliberation Friday.
Count 1 – Conspiracy to Commit a Crime – Guilty
Count 2 – Conspiracy to Commit Kidnapping – Guilty
Count 3 – Conspiracy to Commit Robbery – Guilty
Count 4 – Burglary While in Possession of Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 5 – First Degree Kidnapping With Use of a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 6 – First Degree Kidnapping With Use of a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 7 – Robbery With Use of a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 8 – Robbery With Use of a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 9 – Assault With a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 10 – Assault With a Deadly Weapon – Guilty
Count 11 – Coercion With Use of a Deadly Weapon – Guilty

Simpson’s co-defendant Clarence Stewart was also found guilty on all counts. The men could be in jail for the rest of their lives. For Simpson, it hardly seems long enough.
