update on the OJ thread
 

The owner who claimed Simpson stole his stuff, now stated that it was a misunderstanding and wanted the case dropped.

I'm guessing payoff or possibly a visit from some thugs. Remember OJ is still a very wealthy man from his NFL pension which the Goldman's can't touch. Witnesses in the next room heard yelling and "Put down the guns". This change of heart is either financially motivated or intimidation.

Update on the update on the OJ thread.

This thing has a life of its own.

From Drudge->

BEARDSLEY SPEAKS TO DRUDGE REPORT [1:55am EDT]: "I thought my conversation with Linda Deutsch [AP reporter] was off the record. It was a casual conversation. I have been 'on O.J.'s side' involving his past problems. But this is an entirely different incident. I called 911. If charges are pressed, I have an obligation to go to court. Period." Developing...

Alright, I'm done...apparently the 'reporters' can't get there stories straight.

http://www.breitbart.com/images/common/dot.gifLAS VEGAS (AP) - A man was arrested in connection with an alleged armed robbery of sports memorabilia involving O.J. Simpson, and police said Sunday the former football star still may be arrested as well.

Simpson is expected to be questioned again Sunday morning and may face arrest, police Lt. Clint Nichols said. Simpson has said the items belonged to him, and police questioned him earlier in their investigation. The man detained Saturday night was arrested on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglarly with a deadly weapon, Nichols said. Two firearms were seized.

He was not identified. Nichols said police were seeking other suspects. "There may be as many as five outstanding (suspects)," he said, confirming that Simpson was among those five. Police executed two search warrants early Sunday morning on private residences, Nichols said. The weapons and other evidence were seized at the first location. "It was evidence of a crime that was committed," Nichols said. "And I believe we recovered some clothing that the individual was wearing in the commission of the robbery."

The man is accused of being among a group of people that went to the room of memorabilia dealers at the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday and seized items. Simpson has said the items belonged to him, and police have questioned him once in their investigation. Simpson told The Associated Press on Saturday that he did he did not even consider calling the police to help reclaim personal items he believed were stolen from him, because he has found the police unresponsive when he needed help ever since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were killed in 1994.

"The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me," he said, noting that whenever he has called the police "It just becomes a story about O.J." "I'm at the point where I don't rely on the police and this is not a police issue anyway," he said, expressing hope that it will soon be resolved. Simpson, 60, said he was just trying to retrieve memorabilia, particularly photos of his wife and children. There were no guns and no break-in, he said. As police try to determine what happened in the hotel room, they must unravel the contorted relationships between the erstwhile athlete and a cadre of collectors that has profited from his infamy since the slayings of his ex-wife and Goldman. He was acquitted of murder in but was found liable for their deaths in a civil case.

Update to the updated update...LOL

LAS VEGAS (AP) - O.J. Simpson was arrested Sunday on charges related to an armed robbery involving sport memorabilia, police said. Simpson has said he and other people with him went to the Palace Station casino-hotel on Thursday to retrieve items that belonged to him. He told police no guns were involved. Police said earlier Sunday that two firearms and other evidence had been seized during the investigation. At least one other person has been arrested.

Good to hear that OJ finally got Juiced.

Going to be interesting to see what he is actually charged with.

Ready for this...

Two counts of armed robbery...
Two counts of assault with a deadly weapon...
Conspiracy to commit armed robbery...

Not to mention the Federal charges that might follow stemming from the conspiracy over telephone lines and weapons charges based on the fact that the guns were brought over State lines.

The first three carry 2-15 years consecutive sentences without the possibility of parole.

Be interesting to see the facts on it. We saw how confused the last days have been with the issue. Also, curious how the original person who filed the charge, dropped it.
