O.J. Simpson Was Found Guilty of Robbery and Kidnapping Charges Exactly 13 Years After Being Acquitted of Murder

The ex-football player died on April 10 due to cancer, said his family

The legal troubles of O.J. Simpson, who died April 10 at age 76, didn't end with his Oct. 3, 1995, acquittal in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Exactly 13 years after Simpson was acquitted, the former professional football player was convicted in court for a 2007 robbery and kidnapping incident in Las Vegas.

The case stemmed from Simpson becoming aware through memorabilia dealer Tom Riccio that a fellow dealer, Alfred Beardsley, owned a substantial amount of Simpson memorabilia, which the former Buffalo Bills player claimed were stolen from him.

Simpson and Riccio then decided to confront Beardsley about the situation and conspired a plan to make it happen.

On the night of Sept. 13, 2007, Riccio and Beardsley met another dealer, Bruce Fromong, who was in possession of the items in question, at the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas.

Fromong was informed by Beardsley that a client was looking to purchase Simpson memorabilia but wasn't made aware that the client was Simpson himself.

Upon arrival, Simpson and his associates ordered that nobody in the room leave, with the incident described as a "military invasion" in court testimonials at the time.

Simpson began questioning Beardsley about where the memorabilia came from, which resulted in Simpson's accomplice, Michael McClinton, brandishing a firearm, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Simpson's group then stole pillowcases full of Simpson memorabilia along with various other valuable sports-related items.

On Sept. 16, 2007, three days after the heist, Simpson was arrested. He was initially held without bail, but that was changed and set to $125,000, per the Los Angeles Times. Simpson paid that amount on Sept. 19, 2007, and was released the following day.

After Simpson returned home to Miami, the Los Angeles Daily News reported that he breached his bail conditions. He was then extradited to Nevada and faced another court hearing where his bail was raised to $250,000.

Simpson's trial officially began on Sept. 8, 2008. Less than a month later, on Oct. 3, 2008, the ex-football star was found guilty of 12 charges stemming from the incident, including robbery and kidnapping. He was remanded to the Clark County Detention Center to await sentencing.

After several motions for new trials that were denied, Simpson was officially sentenced on Dec. 5, 2008, to a maximum of 33 years with the opportunity for parole in 2017 after nine years of incarceration when he turned 70.
