O.J. Simpson was found guilty on all 12 counts for the armed robbery in Las Vegas that took place last year.

Charges included including conspiracy to commit a crime, robbery, assault and kidnapping with a deadly weapon.

He is facing possible life in prison.  Wouldn’t that be a beautiful thing?

From CNN:

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.

Simpson arrived at the Clark County Justice Center at around 10:50 p.m. (1:50 a.m. Saturday ET). He told CNN’s Ted Rowlands on the phone before the verdict was read that he was “apprehensive.”

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.

Haha MFer. It’s about time.

The police report in the Heather Locklear case has been released by the California Highway Patrol and here it is..

“A concerned citizen observed a visibly impaired woman, later identified as Heather Locklear, at a parking lot in Montecito, CA. Ms. Locklear was driving forwards and backwards over a pair of sunglasses and revving her engine. A few moments later, that citizen watched Ms. Locklear drive away. The citizen left the parking lot and came upon Ms. Locklear and her vehicle now stopped within the roadway on east Valley Road, near Live Oaks Road, in Montecito.

The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane. Concerned for Ms. Locklear’s safety, the citizen called 911 and reported the entire incident to CHP Ventura Dispatch.

CHP Dispatch broadcast the situation to officers in the area. Santa Barbara CHP officers responded to the area. Upon arrival, they located Ms. Locklear seated alone in the driver’s seat of her vehicle which was obstructing the traffic lane.

Upon contact Ms. Locklear appeared to be disoriented. After an on scene evaluation a DUI investigation was initiated. Although obvious impairment was exhibited during the tests, alcohol was ruled out as a factor.

Based on the circumstances and Ms. Locklear’s objective symptoms, she was arrested for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance.

She was transported to the Santa Barbara CHP office, where she was evaluated by a Drug Recognition Expert, who concluded Ms. Locklear was under the influence of a controlled substance, and could not safely operate a motor vehicle.

A chemical test was obtained and Ms. Locklear was transported a booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail for violation of 23152(a) VC (Driving under the influence) and 11550 (a) H&S (being under the influence of a controlled substance).”

Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night in Santa Barbara County, CA on suspicion of driving while impaired.

Apparently alcohol was not involved, but officers believed her to be high on drugs. Tests are underway to determine if she was.

She was held overnight and released Sunday morning.

UPDATE:

Here’s Heather’s awful mugshot! She looks as though she has been crying with those cocaine eyes! I sense a trip to a Malibu rehabilitation center is in order.

We now know a little more of what happened, but still, not everything.

TMZ is reporting that someone witnessed Heather driving erratically as she pulled out of a parking lot, so they contacted police. Shortly after the California Highway Patrol found her vehicle “parked on a state highway and blocking a lane.” After talking with her he decided she was geeked or something and arrested her.

So, I’d like to know what she was doing parked on a highway! Doing a key hit or a rail on a CD? Hmm..I am probably not too far off. Heather does like to party and always has. Hell, don’t forget this woman was married to Tommy Lee!

UPDATE II:

I guess police suspect prescription meds, not speed ar anything tweeky like I had guessed after seeing her mugshot. TMZ posted a ton of pics of Heather’s arrest, including her performing the field sobriety tests.

“If the gloves don’t fit - you must acquit.”

Of course everyone remembers the infamous sentence (spoken by Johnny Cochran) that may have spared O.J. Simpson a lifetime in jail. Although seemingly obvious to many that Orenthal James brutally murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her male friend, that one sentence convinced Judge Ito to let Simpson live out the rest of his life a free man.

Fast forward fourteen years, and we once again have O.J. in a legal bind -this time for armed robbery. But will his legal team be able to rescue him once again?

An FBI audio analyst, Ken Marr, testified Wednesday that the tape recording of the meeting between OJ and sports memorabilia dealers, Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong, might have been altered before being turned in as evidence.

Of course, this all probably bullsh*t. The defense most likely found the most incompetent FBI analyst they could, you know how that crap works.

“With all of your expertise and all of the equipment available to you with the federal government, you cannot tell us as you sit there today whether that evidence was manipulated?” defense attorney Yale Galanter challenged.

“It might, sir,” Marr replied.

It might? WTF does he mean by it might? It might, but I am too dense to figure out my equipment?  Or it might because I got paid off?

With technology the way it is today I have a hard time believing this moron’s word.

On the flip side, the defense is saying that the guy who made the tape, Thomas Riccio, a sports memorabilia collector, made over $100,000 by selling parts of the tape to the media.  So really, neither side has been up to any good.

The first police officer who arrived at the Vegas hotel room after being called to a possible armed robbery explains the scene as he remembers it.

“I recognized Mr. Simpson instantly,” said Detective Andy Caldwell.

He said the first detail that Beardsley and Fromong provided was that at least two of the men in Simpson’s group were armed.

“Their primary concern was that they had guns pointed at them,” Caldwell said.

There is some hope that Simpson will be convicted.  Officer Caldwell says officers on the case waited two full days before arresting Simpson, because they wanted to make sure all their bases were covered.

He says, “If it was anybody else, we would have arrested him that night.  Because of who he was, we wanted to make sure we had everything right.”

Ryan O’Neal, 67, and son Redmond, 24, were arrested and booked this morning on suspicion of narcotics possession after a probationary police search of their home turned up methamphetamine.

Redmond, son of Farrah Fawcett, was in possession of the drug and a vial was also found in Ryan’s bedroom.

They are being held on $10,000 bail.

The O’Neal family have had numerous drug problems in recent years. Ryan’s daughter, Tatum O’Neal was arrested in NY last June after attempting to buy crack cocaine.  In early 2007 Ryan and son Griffin were involved in a physical fight with a fireplace poker being used as a weapon. Griffin reportedly chained up his brother, Redmond, so he would not buy drugs.

What a looney ass family.  Ryan O’Neal is one of those people who should never have had children.  He and Farrah did so much cocaine during the 80s & 90s that it’s a wonder their children are doing the same.

Kanye West was arrested at LAX for felony vandalism this morning after unleashing his fury on a cameraman’s equipment.

While at the American Airlines terminal, a photographer was taking photos of the hip hop star, much to Kanye’s displeasure.  He confronted the cameraman, then threw his camera to the ground.

Another paps, who works for TMZ, saw the incident playing out and whipped out his video camera to record the chaotic event. When Kanye saw this he became even more enraged. He demanded, “Give me that f**king tape!”

His assistant backed him up and attacked the paparazzo. After a struggle, the assistant smashed the video camera to the ground, breaking it as well.

Police arrested both Kanye and his assistant. They will both be booked shortly.

Kanye Attack Caught on Tape

What do you think?

Did Kanye over react, or should the paparazzi have backed off before it got violent?

Stumble it!
