O.J. Simpson Charged with Kidnapping

O.J. Simpson has been charged with kidnapping and seven other felonies stemming from an alleged armed robbery of sports merchandise in Las Vegas.

The former gridiron star, 60, will face those charges, plus a misdemeanor, Wednesday morning in court.

Tuesday’s charges differ from the original six against Simpson at the time he was booked into jail on Sunday, with prosecutors on Tuesday announcing that they had added felony kidnapping with a deadly weapon.

If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison on each robbery count.

Three of Simpson’s co-defendants were also charged with the same felonies, as well as with a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit a crime.

The charges include conspiracy to commit a kidnapping, kidnapping with use of a deadly weapon, burglary with use of a deadly weapon, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, assault with use of a deadly weapon and coercion with use of a deadly weapon.

At Wednesday morning’s hearing, projected to last approximately five minutes, bail is likely to be discussed. Simpson, considered a flight risk, is currently on a “no bail” hold.

In 1995 Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. Later, a civil jury held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit.
