El Jucio has been found guilty on all counts in the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room more than a year ago. Simpson faces a prison sentence of 15 years to life. O.J.’s lawyers are sure to contest the verdict on the grounds that this time, the jury was all-white.

Simpson and co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, 54, also convicted of the same charges, were both handcuffed and taken into custody. Judge Jackie Glass set a Dec. 5 sentencing date.
Paramedics were called to assist Simpson’s sister Carmelita Durio, who gave many memorable performances during the 1995 trial, when she collapsed on the floor after her brother was escorted from the courtroom. (Insert: canned laughter and thunderous applause.)
