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.

Right, and your proof is where? And don't give me any crap about him not doing it because the jury said he didn't. He is guilty as sin.

"He nice the king". --- Learn to spell retard. Your education is about as limited as your common sense. Idiot.

80. He's in deep dodo. He doesn't have the money he had in '94. Better practice holding on to that bar of soap.

82. When I saw on the local news last night that O.J was back in Vegas because he violated the terms of his bail, I can't say I was surprised. In his sick and twisted mind, O.J. believes that he is above the law and that he can do pretty much whatever he wants. Let's see, he was told by a judge to have no contact with any of the other defendents and then he left the country to go to the Bahamas for Christmas. Yep, typical O.J. mentality that the law doesn't apply to him. My understanding was that he had to surrender his passport to his attorney. If that's the case, his attorney should be sanctioned by the court as well for allowing him to leave the country. I live in Vegas and O.J. is going to find out that Nevada is not California. I hope he gets his bail revoked and is a guest of Clark County until April 7. He violated a direct order from Judge Bonaventure and then left the country. He's now proven he is a flight risk and gave the court the finger, so I am betting that he won't be leaving Las Vegas any time soon.

83. So the bailbondsman wont go to jail for OJ.
Glad to see this control freak egotistical SOB can't control everyone. Wish they could lock him up forever.

Karma is the bitch that keeps on biting OJ. It always knows where one lives, and now...it is finally knocking on YOUR door.

Get a life. I can't believe you really believe OJ is innocent. Are you brain dead, Ignorant, stupid, or just pulling our collective legs? I'm certain some of the postings here are just for fun, but you really do 'take the cake' as my mother used to say. Seriously though...Get a life!

85. "Nail his ass to the wall"! Plain and simple. That is the only way anyone ,even the Judicial System; will be able to control him. He means by God he thinks he is in control ..He has got to be "SHOWN"

86. So Pebbles, I guess the years of torture he spent on the golf courses looking for the 'real killer' is nothing compared to the torture of a knife gutting you and nearly cutting off your head after years of physical abuse! Right?

87. OJ thinks he's invincable - well not this time! Have fun in prison - oh - did I mention my brother is a Corrections Officer here in Las Vegas? They're all looking forward to OJ's arrival at High Desert. Break the law - go to jail - Welcome to Nevada, baby!
