New Charge Filed Against O.J.

O.J. SimpsonO.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.

16. There's no honour amongst thieves.

Even in the small chance that he didn't, they might say he did if it might broker them a better deal. If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas...

18. Every since I was a little child, I used to idolized OJ. And it is very hard for me to accept his current reputation. I pray that he will confess his sins for murdering his wife and Ron Goldman. But I guess he will never do so. If only OJ could jump off a bridge or dive from a plane without a parachute, the world would be a better place. Please God forgive me for saying such evil things. AMEN

28. ..........Hello pam4U @ 2:28pm #7.....................I see by your post that you are an OJ supporter................"they are being paid or coerced by the DA to stab it to OJ".................Really?...........Would you tell the rest of us where your information came from?.............You see if the DA is guilty of misconduct, then you can get OJ off scott free.......And OJ will thank you.............So, tell us, where did you get the information of the misconduct so we can notify the State Bar Association.................Was this particular DA just waiting his whole life to "stab it to OJ" as soon as OJ came to Las Vegas?...............................Do you really belive such a statement?...............Tell me, did OJ go to the hotel room? Take all the items? Take 4 other men with him? Take two firearms? Go thru the hotel room doorway? Leave thru the hotel room doorway?.........Get videoed in the hall way?.......How was OJ going to prove ownership?........Just because he said so?................Six footballs laying on the hotel room bed........All autographed..........which one was OJ's.................Oh, just take them all.............and that other stuff also..........Did OJ make calls trying to get everyone to forget the firearms?...............Do you understand that the witness testimony won't have to carry much weight...............If they testify at all........Depending on the abilities of the DA, OJ will likely go to prison.............And if OJ does go to prison.............BLAME IT ON OJ........NO ONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE.................OJ BROUGHT ALL THIS ON HIMSELF...........
