O.J. Heist Items To Be Used As Restitution
The Nevada judge who sentenced O.J. Simpson to prison says most of the sports memorabilia seized by authorities after a hotel room armed robbery in Las Vegas will go to Los Angeles.
Once there, it'll be sold by the sheriff to satisfy a wrongful death judgment the families of slaying victims Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson won against Simpson in 1995.
Judge Jackie Glass also ruled Friday that Simpson, co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart and the four men who testified against them have to pay a combined $3,560 in restitution to collectibles dealer Bruce Fromong.
That'll pay about $2,600 in medical bills Fromong claimed after he was pushed into a chair while being robbed at gunpoint Sept. 13, 2007, in a Las Vegas casino hotel room.
Fromong, who lives in North Las Vegas, says he his outraged with the decision, reports CBS affiliate KLAS. Fromong says he feels he has now been victimized a second time and is out between $75,000 and $100,000 dollars in memorabilia.
