O.J.'s number finally retired

SimpsonO.J. Simpson was convicted tonight in Las Vegas of all charges — kidnapping, robbery, assault, 12 charges in all. Simpson was handcuffed and taken immediately into custody. Life in prison is possible, so this could be — 14 years since the Bundy Drive murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman — the last we see of O.J. Simpson as a free man. The verdicts were read 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted in the West Los Angeles murders. CNN
