OJ SIMPSON LAS VEGAS TRIAL DAY ONE

Monday was the first day of the OJ Simpson trial in Las Vegas. The former professional football legend is charged with robbery and kidnapping in an incident related to the apparent recovery of sports memorabilia Simpson claims was stolen from him. Courtroom observers believed the defense claimed a slight edge after the prosecution failed to aggressively pursue some details that would help the jury understand details of OJ’s involvement.

Word on the street claims this will be a gotcha for Simpson since most of the world believes he is guilty of double murder. Many also expressed the belief he will receive all the justice an all-white jury composed of nine women and three men have historically doled out to accused black men. If convicted on the kidnapping charge Simpson could be facing a life sentence.

Day two will get underway on Tuesday with more of the same.
