So I guess karma caught up to ol' O.J. and he's going away for awhile.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Former gridiron great O.J. Simpson was found guilty of all 12 counts in the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas, Nevada, casino hotel last year.

The jury reached the verdict 13 years to the day O.J. Simpson was acquitted of two murders.

The jury reached the verdict 13 years to the day O.J. Simpson was acquitted of two murders.

Simpson, 61, and his co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart, 54, were charged with a dozen offenses stemming from the alleged sports memorabilia heist.

Stewart was also found guilty of the same charges as Simpson. Both men will likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.

.......

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.

I was a bit too young to actually be interested in the case 13 years ago...hmm...I was like 7 at that time...wow, that was a long time ago.  Hope I'm not making anyone feel especially old. :)

I was, in all places, a maximum security prison unit in Huntsville Texas when I got news of the first acquittal. The inmates ROARED with approval when the judge read the verdict.

(eh, I was at training there and not incarcerated, BTW ;P )

"Why did you have to die Jonny Cochren?" screamed OJ Simpson after the verdict. :rofl:

I don't know.  :\   Maybe you should put it in a pillowcase and throw it outside...just in case he comes looking for it.

While you barely remember it, Zoo, the day is etched into my memory like an ugly train wreck you can't erase.

I think that's an apt description of what happened.
