New Charge Filed Against O.J.

Posted Oct 24th 2007 12:26PM by TMZ Staff

O.J. Simpson O.J. is now facing a new charge of felony coercion, alleging that he conspired to persuade others to tell authorities that no guns were used.

In the new complaint filed Wednesday, charges were dropped against Walter Alexander and Charles Cashmore, who pleaded guilty to reduced charges. They are set to testify starting at the preliminary hearing beginning Nov. 8. Conviction on felony coercion carries a sentence of up to six years in prison.

Simpson, Stewart, McClinton and Ehrlich are due in court on the other felonies -- including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy and coercion -- and one gross misdemeanor: conspiracy to commit a crime.

5. If evidence wasn't planted in the first case, he would be in prison now. These charges are trumped up and the whole thing was setup. Now this is a vendetta against him.

7. Those "reliable witnesses" will say anything they can to save their necks........and they are probably being paid or coerced by the procecutors to stab it to OJ. How can anybody believe anything this group says.

8. Who cares if it was a set-up if he was retarded enough to fall for it? He can go to jail for being stupid.

Thanks

Maybe if they pile on enough charges this time, something will stick to him. You know how they don't like to file anything against "celebrities" except misdemeanors.

Yeah. Picking up trash. That'll scare 'em straight. Riiiiiiight.

11. He will go free again. Law enforcement is afraid of Simpson and he knows it. People would riot if he were to be convicted, and they don't want that. Doesn't matter if he's guilty, he will walk.
