Jury Selection for O.J. Simpson Trial - Bodog Odds

The most recent O.J. Simpson trial is about to get underway . But first, a 12-member jury and six alternates have to be selected. Normally, it wouldn’t be that difficult, but half the country already believes The Juice is a murderer.

While he beat the 1994 murder rap involving his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her “friend,” Robert Goldman, he later lost a civil suit which cost him $33.5 million in damages. Since then, O.J. has spent a lot of time on the golf course, a known hangout of “the real killers.”

O.J. IS AT IT AGAIN

In September of 2007, O.J. and a group of henchmen “allegedly” entered a room at the Palace Station hotel-casino and took a large amount of sports memorabilia at gunpoint. O.J. admitted to taking the items, but he denied wielding a gun or breaking into the room. When his cronies started confessing, O.J. was left in a bit of a pickle.

He was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary with a firearm, first-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon, coercion with the use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

If convicted, O.J. faces life in prison. And given the amount of evidence against him, things aren’t looking very good for the former Bills running back.

O.J. SIMPSON JURY SELECTION

Meanwhile, the jury selection drags on. Simpson’s lawyers have asked potential jurors if they have any opinion of Simpson which might interfere with their ability to render a fair decision. In fact, they wanted to ask every potential member of the jury if they thought Simpson was a murderer, but the judge wouldn’t allow that to happen.

Jury selection is expected to run through the rest of the week.
