Jurors began deliberating on Friday in the Las Vegas kidnap and robbery trial of former football star O.J. Simpson, who could face life in prison if he is convicted on the charges against him and a co-defendant. The jury of nine women and three men went behind closed doors to begin their first day of deliberations on the 12 counts against Simpson and Clarence "C.J." Stewart, a court spokesman said.
Defense lawyers argue that Simpson went to the hotel only to retrieve personal mementos that were stolen from him and that the retired athlete turned Hollywood actor and TV pitchman was unaware that his cohorts were armed. Four of the other men originally charged in the case later agreed to plead guilty and all took the witness stand for the prosecution during nearly three weeks of trial testimony that concluded on Wednesday. Neither Simpson nor Stewart testified.
