Simpson convicted of robbing memorabilia dealers

LAS VEGAS - 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.

Good.

I still believe he turned his ex-wife into a Pez dispenser. I still believe, given the craptastic job the LAPD and the AG's office did during that whole mess, that he couldn't have been found guilty. I still believe he's a total sociopath. And I still believe that many blacks in this country are willing to side with the wrong people for the wrong reasons. OJ was one of those people. (As was Crystal Magnum. As is Sen. Obama.) I remember the reaction to OJ's 1995 verdict. I wonder what the fallout will be after this one.
