As you've surely heard by now, a Las Vegas jury convicted O.J. Simpson on kidnapping and armed robbery charges over the weekend for his role in the 2007 rip-and-run of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Palace Station hotel room.
If there's any truth to a recent Las Vegas Review Journal report, Simpson was much more surprised by the verdict than his cool and resigned reaction would suggest.
How confident was the former gridiron great? Enough to plan a post-hearing acquittal party at an undisclosed location, accoring to Norm Clarke's report in yesterday's Review-Journal.
O.J. Simpson was so confident that he was going to beat the rap again that he had an acquittal party planned, it was learned.
Simpson associate Thomas Riccio, after an in-studio interview Friday with radio talk-show host Anthony Crivello and retired Las Vegas police detective Phil Ramos, invited them to join O.J.'s entourage at an undisclosed location.
"That's how certain he was," Crivello said during an interview on Saturday, a day after Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart were found guilty on all counts, including armed robbery and kidnapping with a deadly weapon.
"He's been predicting a hung jury," said Ramos, who attended the trial and provided expert commentary on Crivello's show, "The Sicilians" on Fox Sports Radio KBAD-AM, 920.
The Smoking Gun has already pulled Simpson's mug shot, taken shortly after the verdict was read. The 61-year-old former actor and anchor faces a minimum of five years in prison at his December 5 sentencing, and could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Nice. I doubt he has much money left. It would have been at the $99 per night room at the holiday inn express with Old Milwaukee on tap.
