Jae C. Hong-Pool/Getty ImagesOct. 3, 1995: O.J. Simpson was acquitted of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. Oct. 3, 2008: O.J. Simpson was found guilty of a dozen crimes, including armed robbery and kidnapping, that could put him away for life.
Exactly 13 years after skating on the murder rap, and after 13 solid hours of deliberations, a Las Vegas jury convicted the Hall of Fame running back and erstwhile Naked Gun star of masterminding a raid on two sports memorabilia dealers.
Tasked by District Court Judge Jackie Glass to reach a verdict or work through the weekend, the nine-woman, three-man panel stayed late at the Clark County Courthouse, even having dinner delivered, before reaching the verdict shortly before 10 p.m.
About 40 minutes later, Simpson entered the room to learn his fate.
Simpson attorney Yale Galanter—who in closing arguments called his client "stupid" for staging the so-called "sting" operation but said he did nothing criminal—has already vowed an appeal.
