History

Historical Context

After O.J. Simpson’s 1995 murder trial captured national attention, his 2007 Las Vegas robbery at the Palace Station hotel led Nevada prosecutors to charge him with 12 felonies. A jury found him guilty in October 2008 and sentenced him to 33 years, prompting law-enforcement agencies to tighten security around celebrity-linked property.
