The O. J. Simpson robbery case (officially ''State of Nevada v. Orenthal James Simpson, et al.'') was a criminal case prosecuted in 2007–2008 in the U.S. state of Nevada, primarily involving the retired American football player, O. J. Simpson, concerning a robbery. On the night of September 13, 2007, a group of men led by Simpson entered a room in the Palace Station hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bruce Fromong, a sports memorabilia dealer, testified that the group of men broke into his hotel room and stole various sports memorabilia at gunpoint. Three days later, on September 16, 2007, Simpson was arrested for his involvement in the robbery and held without bail. He admitted taking the items, which he said had been stolen from him, but denied breaking into the room. Simpson also denied the allegation that he or the people with him carried weapons. October 3, 2008—exactly 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of the murders of his wife, Nicole Brown, and Ronald Goldman—Simpson was found guilty of all ten charges. On December 5, 2008, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison with eligibility for parole in nine years (in October 2017). He is currently incarcerated at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada. == Participants == * O.J. Simpson: Sentenced to prison for 9 to 33 years. * Walter Alexander: accomplice of Simpson. Brought a gun into the room. Sentenced to probation. * Clarence "C.J." Stewart: accomplice of Simpson. Drove the Lincoln Navigator getaway car. Stood by Simpson during the trial and did not negotiate a plea deal. Judge Jackie Glass sentenced Clarence Stewart, the only Simpson cohort who didn't negotiate a plea deal, to at least 7 1/2 years in prison. The conviction was later overturned because the verdict was tainted by Simpson's fame and he was released after a plea deal with time served. 〔 * Charles Cashmore: accomplice of Simpson. Introduced himself as friend of Stewart. Carried items out the room. First met Simpson on the day of the robbery. Sentenced to probation.〔 * Charles Ehrlich: accomplice of Simpson. Friend of Simpson from South Florida. Pretended to be a buyer who would first check out the goods. Sentenced to probation.〔 * Michael McClinton: accomplice of Simpson. Acquaintance of Alexander and Stewart. Brought a gun into the room. Sentenced to probation. Also made an audio recording of events that was later used at trial. In the room, McClinton pulled out a .45-caliber Ruger and barked orders at the dealers, as Simpson reportedly told him to do. Afterward, McClinton secretly taped Simpson asking whether he pulled out "the piece" in the hallway. The men, who were at a sushi restaurant, are heard on the tape laughing about the six-minute encounter.〔 Sentenced to probation.〔 * Thomas Riccio: auction owner and convicted felon who informed Simpson about the stolen goods and subsequently taped the whole event on a recorder. Riccio sold the tape for $150,000 to TMZ.com. Riccio also testified that he was paid an additional $60,000 by television stations for appearances. Riccio was given total immunity for his testimony by Clark County District Attorney David Roger after a negotiation with Riccio's attorney Stanley Lieber. * Bruce Fromong: memorabilia dealer, later convicted of shoplifting. * Alfred Beardsley: memorabilia dealer, and convicted felon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「O.
