Yes, from what I understand he was convicted on conspiracy charges. As he took the sports memorabilia during an illegal act (armed robbery) then he is guilty of the charge.
Do the lawyers on both sides get the opportunity to accept or reject jurors like they do in the uk?

Im not sure, but some jurors thought he was guilty of the murder previously. In UK they would have been thrown off.
I think it is some kind of justice for a man who thought he was powerful and above the law. |

Wasn't Al Capone guilty of the crime he was tried for |

What troubles me isn't the guilt or not of Capone. I'm bothered by states "cooking-up" cases for the sole purpose of giving "maximum sentences" to people. Whatever "maximum sentence" means.
When did it became wrong for mothers to forcefully claim their missing babies? |

Sorry 'bout not explaining, I've no link to comment. Actually, the comment is just another formulation my tiny brain.
What i meant is...
Sports memorabilia are like babies, they represents a person's legacy, history and to O.J. they're probably the most important part of his life. therefore, trying to recover his stolen memorabilia ignited so much passion in him.... thus, his actions.
Don't get me wrong, back in the day, he was guilty of murder and should have been hanged for that.
But he isn't guilty of ALL the current charges because he wasn't armed when he confronted the hustlers.
The legal system in the US is a little confusing to me; for example, a fellow in texas, armed robbed to get some copper wires to sell for his "fix". He was sent to jail for 35yrs, till this day, no parole.
Another guy shot and killed his neighbor, he did only 5yrs and is eligible for parole. |

Armed robbery is a huge crime only next to murder...
Another guy shot and killed his neighbor, he did only 5yrs and is eligible for parole.
Why did he kill his neighbor? In self defense? Sleeping with his/her spouse? It depends on the circumstances ...
This is not a legal advice. I am not an attorney. |

Apologies Prince for my belated reply. I now understand what you meant.
However I disagree having served on a jury on a conspiracy charge it is very difficult (here in the UK anyway) to disprove.
He was found guilty on conspiracy charges from what I understood . |
