The robbery was caught on tape! This fact is what has led Las Vegs authorites to officially charge and arrest O.J. Simpson with felony robbery. One of the co-owners of the auction house Universal Rarites, Thomas Riccio, turned on his Olypus digial voice recorder before the group entered the hotel room at the Palace Station. Riccio was there to help Simpson prove certain memorabilia being auctioned by Alfred Beardsley was stolen. Riccio says he believed Simpson was going to confront Beardsley in the hotel room to give him an ultimatum -- either hand over the goods or Simpson would call the cops.
Apparently, Simpson freaked as soon as they entered the room, and it can be clearly heard on the tape, as he begins hurling obscenities at the sports dealer and saying " Think you can steal my s**t , and sell it?". The judge is calling Simpson a flight risk at this time and is holding him on no bail at this time, but if the D.A. fails to file an official complaint he could walk free.
