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.

to ushouldno: Stop dictating how someone should post a comment or opinion. What you just said had absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue of this thread either?? duh.

Stop playing forum monitor, and start making comments, agreeing or disagreeing with said comments. And try casting less judgment on people in general “personally”… eh.

Oh as for me being ignorant, just in case you don’t know the definition,it means uneducated,and last but not least..ignorance is a person that has no education, I am not either one… Which one are you? Sh*t starter.

funny, funny not only is ushouldno forum manager, ushouldno is also a spelling bee genius. why are you wanting to argue with everyone here? your recent posting had nothing on the subject of OJ. why are you attacking other peoples opinions? you are the one off the course of the subject and then you turn AROUND and accuse other’s opinions because they didn’t stick to the story. YOU JUST FLIPPED ON YOUR POSTING? GOTCHA!!! YOU ARE FUNNY AS HECK!!

Hey ushouldno

I see you are still being an annoying and arogant puttz, and still trying to exert yourself in a manner of internet bulliness in that of attempting to control what people have to say?

Again your own ignorance shows with every post as you continue to complain about others “grammar” yet can’t spell any better than a child in 2nd grade? Perhaps you ARE in second grade? Regardless, your forum etiquette can use much more polishing. Maybe if you weren’t so busy ‘polishing other things’ you might find the time to find a bit of respect, maturity, and discover something called manners?

Is this country REGRESSING? That’s what they used to do to the black people, bomb and burn their churches down. No house of worship should be targeted, I don’t care what faith it is. It is wrong, wrong, wrong. I hope they catch the culprits, they are sick sob’s and purely evil. IT IS NOT SARAH PALIN’S FAULT, SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE, what a gracious woman! Taking blame and responsiblitly for something that is not her fault.

I think the President took it all in stride. And handled himself rather well. It’s those that are supposed to be looking after the President that dropped the ball here!!

I know the man was distraught because he had lost several people he knew, but this is the thanks we get for giving these people freedom? Perhaps some believe we should have left a looney dictator in charge and continued to “wonder” rather or not he had nuclear capabilities?? I for one am more comfortable knowing what I know now. As opposed to the alternative.

My best friend is vegan and she dropped a little over 15 pounds in her fist month, she was a vegetarian before that and gradually changed into vegan. But nobody should take this as a weight lose diet, consult your doctor first. To get of her protein she takes pills and eats beans everyday.

NEC, Since when does it mean that a black man hates himself when he votes for a white guy? Does that mean we’ve been practicing self hate ever since black men died for the right to vote for… you guessed it white guys. With that in mind I don’t understand the hatred Obama recieved from those in the McCain/Palin camp, shouting kill him and he’s an arab… That’s what makes thier supporters seem ignorant. But that can be blamed away to the bias media, since I personally know some well educated well to do Palin/Mccain supporters that are not ignorant, back woods, or racist…just rich. I did want to ask Beth, what power does Oprah have that she’s somehow abused? She is not holding a judgeship or office that many times have been held by someone who abused thier power to hold down… No not the blackman.. Poor people in general. The problem I have with what you’ve said is that, Oprah, like any other celebs have no power only status. She has status with her celebrity and her show, which she can use to promote whatever she wants…It’s you who have the power. You have the battery power to use that little clicky thing in your hand to change the channel if you don’t like what’s going on. But apparently you didn’t and a whole lot of people just like you who complain and complain but contrary to the posting earlier that stated that there is a continual ratings decline for Oprah, she is as popular as ever and even shows like the juggernaut, Late Night with David Letterman, gets a ratings boost for her appearances. I think a lot of this retoric stems from the one thing that no one in this post can do anything about… Obama is President-elect by a landslide and even overwhelmingly took the popular vote. C’mon if Elisabeth Hasselbeck can admit it you can. By the way no one seems to be jumping on the View for not firing her for being a Palin supporter…(no I don’t want her fired but if you’re saying Oprah is bad for snubbing Palin isn’t Mrs. Hasselbeck in the same boat for her Obama bashing?)… I honestly think everyone should just go back to their corners and chill for at least four years and see where this guy takes us. Besides look at it this way… You guy’s are still winning 43-1.

Elizabeth is the TRUE Pig and not Rosie!!!! Rosie I think overtried here and it showed. Rosie should go back to what she does best which is having her own talk show. She is a good person who does good things. Good for her for standing up for what she believes in and not letting herself be bullied by the likes of Donald Trump or Elizabeth H (no talent who needs to be canned from the view).
