If found guilty, O.J. Simpson will face quite a bit of jail time. For the two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, Simpson could face up to 3 to 30 years for each count. On the two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, it's one to six years on each count.
Conspiracy to commit burglary, which is a gross misdemeanor, is one year in the county jail. And burglary with a firearm will range between two and 15 years.
This brings up an important question: Can O.J., who was once acquitted of murder, get a fair trial if this case goes that far? News 3's Robert Santos reports from the Regional Justice Center with reaction from the community.
As O.J. Simpson made his way out of the Metro Police Department, some people in the community voiced their opinions loud and clear:
"Guilty! No Johnny (Cochran) to save you this time, O.J.," one onlooker shouted.
It is almost impossible to find someone who hasn't heard of O.J. and his past run-ins with the law and who hasn't already formed an opinion about his guilt or innocence.
"I think he's pretty dumb and he's guilty," another onlooker told us. "I think he should've handled it in a better way, but I think he deserves it," added another. "The books... come on now buddy, you can't come out with a book saying you did something or what... nah man," said a third.
UNLV associate professor Joel Liedermann knows a lot about jury selection. He says pretrial publicity can be damaging to defendants, but in O.J.'s case the fact that O.J. was tried and acquitted once before can overcome those effects.
And that'll depend on what the court and his defense team do when selecting jurors. "What's going to be looked for is whether jurors can be impartial to the case," Liederman said. "What have you heard? Where? And can you keep an open mind and be impartial?"
Dr. Liederman says a lot of research has been done on what really influences a juror's decision. Personality factors, trial evidence, and what experts see overwhelmingly influence a jury in its final verdict.
There's a good chance if this case goes to trial, Simpson's defense attorney will bring in a team of trial consultants to help with jury selection.
