O.J. Simpson Back in Custody after Violating Terms of Bail

O.J. Simpson is back in custody after the NFL Hall of Famer violated terms of his release by making a phone call on Nov. 16 to one of his co-defendants in an armed robbery case

 

Simpson allegedly placed a call to Clarence Stewart, identified himself as “Miguel,” and berated his co-defendant for testimony that he delivered at a preliminary hearing related to the Las Vegas robbery.

 

On Nov. 14 a Las Vegas justice of the peace had ruled that Simpson, along with Stewart and another man, should stand trial on 12 chargers

 

On Sept. 19 Simpson walked free on $125,000 following his arrest for involvement in an alleged break-in in which he and several friends held up two sports memorabilia vendors and demanded articles they said belonged to the former football star.

 

The three men are scheduled to appear in Las Vegas on April 7.
