Criminal charges against OJ Simpson for the armed robbery of a memorabilia dealer in Las Vegas have unfortunately, not materialized.
TMZ said today that the memorabilia dealer told them that OJ apologized to him and that he and OJ Simpson “fight like brothers” but maintain a good relationship.
The dealer had testified for Simpson in the wrongful death civil case against him and said in court that after his acquittal the value of OJ Simpson memorabilia went down. So apparently the junk he is, or was, trying to sell, isn’t worth squat. Yeah, right.
Another interesting thing that was reported today was that OJ Simpson says that the police in Vegas told him to work things out with the memorabilia dealer.
What? Since when do the police tell an armed robber who reportedly took the items at gunpoint, flanked by his thugs, to “work it out” with the victim? Something doesn’t wash here.
So I’m thinking, there are several things that might have happened.
1. That OJ and his thugs did not rob the man at gunpoint. (ummm.. unlikely)
2. That the dealer is so afraid of OJ Simpson that he retracted his statements about the robbery. (this seems more likely to me)
or
3. That the Las Vegas police don’t want to mess with OJ. (maybe, but why would they be afraid of him?)
The whole thing makes little sense to me, but then again, this is OJ Simpson we are talking about.
Oh, also another crazy thing I swear I heard on the news today was that OJ Simpson was in Vegas to promote his new book. What??? Is OJ promoting “If I Did It” for the Goldman family? Or did he write a different book? What’s the deal with him supposedly promoting a book? I will have to investigate this further to try to get some answers.

Hahaha I agree that does sound funny a bit odd. First off we are dealing with OJ as well as the Las Vegas Police. Next it is not uncommon for the police to ask if parties can find common ground. Look at how many cases cops will not arrest couples on some domestics issues. especilly if they are famous people. I belive some of the story but I’d be hard pressed to belive all of it. the Goldman family is as crooked as they come. When is Sydney going to get her money BACK from them?
Peace
