Excuse the bad pun, but O.J. Simpson just ran out of juice. The jury in his armed robbery trial found him guilty on all 12 counts — including conspiracy to commit robbery and kidnapping, burglary, assault and coercion. He could face life in prison when he’s sentenced on Dec. 5.
Denied bail, court officers wasted no time in handcuffing the Hall of FameShame inductee (again, sorry!) after the verdict was read. His sister, Carmelita Durio, fainted as he was being led out of the courtroom and paramedics rushed to revive her.
The most striking detail of the verdict is that it came 13 years to the day after the former MVP (Most Valuable Prisoner? Help! It won’t stop!) was acquitted in the murder of his ex-wife. We suspect people who believe O.J. got away with murder back in 1995 are talking about how “payback is a bitch” today.
The gridiron great is now behind iron bars. O.J. should dust off those running back skills in case he drops a bar of soap in the prison shower. (Forgive us! We can’t help it!)
