Thirteen years to the day that he was acquitted of murdering his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson OJ Simpson is found guilty on all 12 counts of his armed robbery and kidnapping trial.  He is seen here being led away after the verdict. 

Twelve days after the trial, the jury in Nevada reached the verdict Friday night (yesterday).   Simpson, 61, now faces life imprisonment. 

Four of his former co-defendants testified against him on the September, 2007 heist that took place at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.  Prosecutors alleged that Simpson led a group of men in an armed raid on a suite rented by sports memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Al Beardsley for what they thought was a transaction meeting.  Guns were allegedly brandished and two hotel guests were threatened as Simpson and his associates filled two pillowcases with items the former American football star and actor claimed had been stolen from him.

His lawyers plan to appeal this verdict because:

“We knew it going in, there was a lot of baggage.”

The “baggage” to which they refer is the acquittal of his murder trial against his wife and how it has “tarnished Simpsons reputation”.
