Read the writeup on CNN... It looks like OJ is being set up. His version, and he has just as many witnesses as the one who called the cops, is that he and a few people went to these sellers shacked up in a vegas hotel room (sounds like a bunch of shady characters already) and found a bunch of his stuff that was stolen or otherwise belonged in his possession, not in the possession of these shady sellers. He took back his stuff and left. One of the sellers got pissed and called the cops, making up a story about how there were guns and it was like some "home robbery".
WTF... how is taking your stolen stuff back from some guy pawning it out of a hotel room the same as an armed assault on a household?
As bad as it sounds, I strongly suspect OJ is right. If OJ had gone to the cops, the red tape and usual delays would have resulted in the sellers skipping town with all of OJs stuff. So he went and got it back himself. Nobody got shot, and nobody is even claiming to have been roughed up. Sounds pretty "normal" to me, no different than a dude going to a garage sale and finding tools with his name on them that had been stolen a while ago. Call the cops and everything and everyone vanishes before the cops show up, so just get a few friends to back you up, grab your stuff, and leave.
I hope the outraged seller gets nailed for fencing stolen goods, selling without a license, selling without collecting/submitting sales tax, etc. Those jerks were capitalizing on selling goods stolen from a celebrity, and they deserve whatever pain they get even if the cops come down on OJ. Personally, I hope OJ gets off without charges or even gets commended for getting his stuff back without causing a fight.
IMHO
