In 2007, OJ Simpson was talked about again in the legal column. He was arrested in Las Vegas for stealing sports memorabilia with five henchmen from a hotel-casino in the city, at gunpoint. In early October 2008, he was convicted of twelve counts, then sentenced to 9 to 33 years in prison. He had been on parole since 2017. The former US football player died this Thursday at the age of 76.
