O. J. Simpson’s Bail Revoked (Updated)
[Guest post by DRJ]
Adam Housley of Fox News reports that O. J. Simpson’s bail has been revoked and Simpson has been taken into custody in Miami by a bail bondsman. Here’s the full report:
“▪ OJ Simpson’s bail is revoked
▪ He will be back to jail from Florida
▪ He’s flying back today from Miami to Las Vegas and arriving early evening
▪ He’s been taken into custody by Miguel Pereira, bail bondsman of You Ring We Spring Bail Bonds
I got the tip late yesterday and have been holding it, making sure the bail bondsman made it to Miami and that he would actually be taken-in without an incident.”
UPDATE – From an AP report:
“O.J. Simpson is in custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his release on bail by calling one of his co-defendants in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, a court official said Friday.
Prosecutors allege that Simpson, identifying himself as “Miguel,” telephoned Clarence “C.J.” Stewart on Nov. 16 and expressed frustration with Stewart’s testimony at a preliminary hearing, court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said.”

gp (3c266f) — 1/11/2008 @ 6:45 pmPartial transcript of O.J.’s bail revocation hearing:
The Court: Mr. Simpson were you or were you not aware that you were not to make contact with any of the State’s witnesses in this case?
Mr. Simpson: No, Your Honor, I was not.
The Court: You should have axed your attorney.

Another Drew (8018ee) — 1/11/2008 @ 7:06 pmSo, do you think O.J. cut his own throat this time?
nk (dda711) — 1/11/2008 @ 7:11 pmI think that statement fits the situation like a glove…
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 1/11/2008 @ 7:13 pmThis is just a stab in the dark, but I think O.J. now wishes he had gashed his hand rather than picking up that phone.
nk (dda711) — 1/11/2008 @ 7:50 pmJust wait and JESSIE JACKASSON will call a big news confrence and claim its racsis he he always likes to do
