O.J. Co-Defendant Takes Plea; That Makes Three

Posted Oct 29th 2007 11:14AM by TMZ Staff

Another O.J. co-defendant has agreed to plea to lesser charges -- in exchange for his testimony against the Juice.

Michael McClinton has become the third person involved in the alleged Vegas hotel room holdup. He told a judge in a Clark County courtroom this morning that he'll accept a deal to plead guilty to robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, and testify against Simpson and two other men.

McClinton's lawyer William Terry confirmed that his client can testify that O.J. asked him to bring two guns with him when they went to the hotel room at the Palace Station casino.

Simpson's attorney Yale Galanter said this was not a surprise, adding "What this comes down to is the real bad guys are pointing a finger at O.J., and the prosecution is giving away the courthouse to try to shore up their case."

McClinton could receive up to 11 years in prison.

7. I think the last man standing (OJ) might find himself shopping for iron undies soon. The goons will make mincemeat of him in general population! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

9. I think if you have XX number of people in a crime.

And everyone takes a deal and says they did it, I really don't understand how you get off

Even if you say it was a "set-up", I think if someone is willing to go to jail and admit they did it........what is the advantage to them. They are in jail.

So, it makes you look like an idiot.....

I have to say the Las Vegas Police and prosecuters are acting like they should. Get the evidence, get people to plead guity.....get the criminal..

No showmanship, no TV interviews, just get the bad guys.

10. Well I will tell you how this will end...

The prosecutor in this case is trying so hard to convict O.J. on retribution that the facts will be clouded and he will be let go once again......

Try the case on it's merits and not in public opinion , if he did something wrong then prove it, if he was only trying to get his stuff back then let him go....Don't screw this one up like last time be honest and convict all of them , not just so you can look good in the eye of the political machine.. there is another point, i promise you that if O.J. is convicted then the prosecutor will run for office on the platform of he was the one that convicted O.J.


Did you know: The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." uses every letter in the alphabet. true story

13. Idiot o.j. got off on a MURDER charge, what makes you think that he will be going to jail this time? I think he should have been BARBEQUE ever since he killed Nicole and Ron, so. heres hopeing but doubting that this time he will make some big bubba in prison very happy.

14. I think O.J. is a total idiot and deserves what he gets, but how many of the people involved need to cut a deal before the prosecutor is sure he's got a conviction in the bag? Something is rotten in Las Vegas. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Glad I don't have "friends" like he does.
