Investigator: O.J. Paid Off Key Witness

1213simpson.jpg

Alfred Beardsley, a key witness in the Las Vegas trial of O.J. Simpson, reportedly admitted to being bought off by the former NFL star to change his testimony -- and aid the defense.

"I asked, 'what did you get to change your testimony,'" Bill Falkner, an investigator from the Clark County district attorney's office told the L.A. Times. Falkner said that Beardsley confessed Simpson gave him his Hall of Fame ring.

O.J., who was sentenced to 9 to 33 years in prison last week, was on trial for armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges stemming from a confrontation with Beardsley last year.

When prosecutors called Beardsley to the stand, they were shocked when he changed his testimony and said that someone had tampered with an audio recording critical to their case.

Beardsley has been ordered back to court next week to hand over the Hall of Fame ring, which he allegedly has. His lawyer, Jack Swickard, told the paper that he expects Beardsley to come to court without the ring, because "You can't turn over what you don't have."

Simpson's lawyer did not return calls for a comment from the Times.

anonymous - convince, not convience
pick apart a person’s English, so how about your typo - a little proofreading before you hit Enter???
OJ is the dregs; he has proved it over and over again. I feel bad for his kids. How can they ever overcome his stain?

anonymous… The correct spelling is “CONVIENCE” and you really “NEEDS” to be educated, con·vince
Pronunciation: \kən-ˈvin(t)s\
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): con·vinced; con·vinc·ing
Etymology: Latin convincere to refute, convict, prove, from com- + vincere to conquer. anonymous… The correct spelling is convience and you really needs to be educated, AND I “NEEDS” AN EDUCATION?? HA!HA! SURE, RIGHT, WHATEVER1

I don’t like what OJ has done in the past, however, if he asks for forgiveness from Jesus Christ he will be forgiven. Jeffrey Dalhmer who committed unspeakable crimes asked Jesus to forgive him and he became a christian. God forgives us all. We are all God’s children and we are supposed to love our neighbor as we do ourselves. forgive others is what I have to do if I want God to forgive me of my sins. I Don’t condone what evil people do, God will judge us all in the end. Vengence is mine saith the Lord.


- God forgives us all

While jailed, Simpson has made friends with other inmates and used money in his commissary account to buy them snacks, according to Simpson lawyer Gabriel Grasso.

“O.J. was actually buying stuff for all these other guys who don’t have anybody on the outside,” Grasso said, “candy bars, soup, chocolate, whatever you can buy at the commissary.”

“I think when he does meet people in jail, they’re going to treat him well because he treats them well,”
from the ap press. he is stil trying to by people off. when he was out in the real world, i never herd of hime helping out the prisoners with gifts


- what?

Well thank you for the compliment to work, work, work. My parents taught me if I had money or an education not to flaunt it. I actually have Okie roots and I much prefer to use the Okie terms such as maters, dadgummit, wosh, meaning wash. So, yes, i have an education but I much rather be down to earth like my parents taught me. They also taught me never to run anyone down that was less fortunate than me. What really matters to me is what is in a person’s heart versus being educated or poor. We all know who the guilty one is of condemming people here on this blog.


- you are the guilty one

EBONICS also referrs to an uneducated lower class person. Terrible thing to be commenting on people’s comments. So who says a person commenting has to have immpeccable grammar? It’s up to this website to correct grammatical errors, not the viewers. That’s irrational thinking on that person’s part. i don’t care about immpeccable grammar as long as the people commenting get their point across.

good question: I think they stayed in their home with their big sister Arnelle, who I think was living with OJ also.

I wonder who OJ’s young children went. Did they go with the Brown family or OJ’s family.
