O.J. Simpson wants items seized in Las Vegas
LOS ANGELES — O.J. Simpson has filed a declaration in Superior Court saying most of the items seized by authorities following a bungled hotel heist that sent him to prison last year are rightfully his and should be returned.
The declaration was filed Friday in Superior Court in Santa Monica. A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19.
Most of the items listed are signed footballs Simpson was awarded during his glory days as a college pro football player. Also listed are ties Simpson says he wore during his trial for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Simpson was acquitted of the killings in criminal court but found liable for the deaths in civil court.
