Judge doubles Simpson’s bail, calls him ‘arrogant’
Las Vegas ? Hands cuffed at his waist and a defeated expression on his face, O.J. Simpson listened to a judge blister him Wednesday for “arrogance or ignorance or both” for breaking bail terms in a robbery case.
Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass lectured as she doubled his bail to $250,000.
Simpson’s attorney said late Wednesday that bond had been posted and that Simpson was expected to be released from jail within hours.
The former NFL star had been ordered to have no contact with co-defendants or witnesses after he was freed on bail in September on charges of orchestrating the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a hotel room.
Wednesday’s hearing was called because Simpson mentioned co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart while leaving a foul-mouthed phone message two months ago for his bail bondsman, Miguel Pereira of You Ring We Spring.
