Celebrity Justice
Bondsman to O.J.: I'm Not Going to Jail for You!

Miguel Pereira, O.J. Simpson's bail bondsman, tells TMZ he turned over the cell phone message that got O.J. thrown back in jail because he wasn't "going to get involved in illegal activity for him."


Pereira tells us he didn't listen to the voicemail right away -- he thought it was just another long O.J. message. Instead, he was tipped to its contents by an investigator who wouldn't identify himself. When Pereira went to one of O.J.'s attorneys, Gabriel Grasso, to tell him about the voicemail, Pereira says he was told not to worry about it.

When the investigator contacted him a second time to tell him about photos he had of O.J. in the Bahamas over the holidays -- a violation of his bail -- it was then that Pereira listened to the voicemail carefully and contacted the D.A.

KVVU in Las Vegas shot video of Simpson and Pereira when they landed in Las Vegas. A judge will decide on Wednesday whether or not to revoke O.J.'s bail. If revoked, he could remain in jail until his trial starts on April 7.

32. I know that you are not guilty, please people leave this innocent man alone! He did not do this, it was a white person that killed his wife. I am black so I know he is innocent!!!

33. Just when will you people give this man a break. He was found not guilty a long time ago. Yet he is tortured everyday of his life. How did he get to the Bahamas during Christmas if his passport was pulled? And who's to say that an impersonator did'nt make that call to the bail bondsman. I thought I lived in a country that believed not guilty until proven guilty. But every blog I have read has him already convicted and hung. Get a life folks, only GOD knows the truth. I believe in justice and I believe justice was served many years ago. It's unfortunate that the real killer/s have not been found. I pray for O.J. that these trumped up charges will be discharged.
