OJ Simpson guilty - led off to jail

Former football star O.J. Simpson (pictured) has been found guilty of robbery and kidnapping.

The ruling came 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted of brutally murdering his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman.

After a three-week trial, a Las Vegas jury deliberated for more than 13 hours on Friday on charges against Simpson and a friend arising from an incident at the Palace Station casino in September last year.

Simpson showed no emotion as he and co-defendant Clarence Stewart were found guilty on all charges, which could see both men facing a maximum life sentence.

Shortly after the verdicts were read out just before 11:00 pm (0600 GMT) local time, Judge Jackie Glass denied a request for Simpson to be released on bail and he was led away in handcuffs.

The 61-year-old former American football hero was accused of storming into a hotel room with a gang of gun-toting cohorts and seizing sports memorabilia from two dealers worth thousands of dollars.

He will sentenced on December 5.
