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.

48. Seriously, this guy should be in a CAGE. He is an animal just like Mike Tyson. They both deserve to be caged like animals.

49. When you watch the video, you get the feeling that OJ considers this a total lark. He really DOESN'T think rules apply to him. I hope the judge keeps his punk ass in jail until the trial. The trial doesn't start until April.

50. The murderer should never have left Cali. Nevada is going to string him up starting Wednesday. All the black people are going to go around saying he is being set up just like last time...lol.

Anyone else notice how cops never wear their seatbelts as required by law...

53. He may get off again. The case is comprised of a bunch of jerks who either sold their story or got deals with the prosecutor.

54. This absolutely ridiculous. what next? was he really that stupid to do this? i doubt if he stays in jail until his trial in april. but then again who really cares!!!LOL

55. Yep. I agree with #45. I wouldn't get too excited because there may be a lot of people eating crow. I wouldn't hang my hat on THESE witnesses. The recording is all but useless due to state law and the fact that it's a tampering argument's dream. If there ever was a beatable case, it's this one. I do think O.J. is an idiot who feels he is above the law but I honestly don't believe this will be the case that imprisons him (for a lenghty term anyway)

56. I think it's VERY telling that Simpson's lawyer tells the bail guy "NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT" They're all just as guilty as the guys they represent sometimes. Leave it to Simpson to find another unethical attorney. That's something he seems to be very lucky doing, or are there SO MANY of them, it's not luck but actually the norm?? WE WANT SIMPSON in jail for as long as possible - if nothing else just to spend some more time to think about what he' did and got away with. Please let's hope justice will finally prevail, even if it's not for his WORST crime. He is despicable. Hey murder trial jury - how do you like your hero now? Did he ever spend another day with "HIS" people once they freed the killer? Nope just went right back to his old ways. Hopefully they understand what a terrible mistake they made. Or maybe they just don't give a damn either. Let this SOB rot in jail.

Good riddanence OJ. It's a shame society had to put up with a murderer on the streets for 13 years. With any luck you won't last 13 days in a federal maximum security prison.
