Website claims to have OJ robbery video
Published Tuesday, Sep 18 2007, 12:30 BST | By Kimberley Dadds
A celebrity news website has released a video showing a man, who is believed to be OJ Simpson, at the scene of a Las Vegas hotel burglary which he is currently being held in prison in connection with.
The tape allegedly shows the former footballer in a standoff with men whom he accused of stealing his sports memorabilia, shouting questions while other men were shouting out orders.
In the footage shown on website TMZ, Simpson demands: "Don't let nobody out of here. Think you can steal my **** and sell it?"
Simpson is currently still in jail after he was arrested on Sunday and was charged on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit a crime, and burglary with a firearm.
A judge has ordered that the 60-year-old should be held without being granted bail and if he is convicted he could face up to 30 years behind bars.
His attorney, Yale Galanter claimed: "Mr Simpson is not guilty of these charges".
Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994, but was found liable in a civil trial. He claimed that he did not contact police to reclaim his items because he found them 'unresponsive' since the deaths.
