LAS VEGAS, Oct. 3 -- Former football star O.J. Simpson was convicted Friday night, along with a co-defendant, of robbing two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a casino hotel room last year.
The 61-year-old former football star and a golfing buddy, Clarence "C.J." Stewart, were both found guilty on 12 charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery.
Deliberations began 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles. The Clark County jury announced it had reached its verdict shortly before 10 p.m. Friday after hearing 12 days of testimony.
Simpson could face life in prison when he is sentenced.
