Sports Memorabilia Dealer Implicates O.J. Simpson in Hotel Room Robbery
OJ implicated in robbery.
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14 — O.J. Simpson, the former football star who was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife, was under investigation Friday in what the police said might have been an armed robbery of sports memorabilia from a room at the Palace Station Hotel-Casino here.
Mr. Simpson denied that any crime had taken place. Instead, he told The Associated Press, he and some people he had met at a cocktail party staged a “sting operation” on Thursday night intended to retrieve memorabilia, including Mr. Simpson’s Hall of Fame certificate, from a dealer he said had stolen it.
First; If it was a sting, why did someone bring a gun?
Second; If this stuff was stolen, why didn’t he just locate it and call the police?
And lastly; If he admitted he was involved in an armed robbery, why didn’t the cops put him in jail?
Never mind. These guys went to a hotel room with a gun and took some property, but it only might have been an armed robbery……????
If your rich and famous, you don’t go to jail until the cops and the DA run out of ways to set you free. –Especially in Vegas.
