O.J. Simpson, accused of an alleged robbery in Las Vegas last month, was
released from the custody of the Clark County Detention Center after
paying the $125,000 bail set . Judge Joe Bonaventure read out the 11
charges against Simpson stemming from the allegations against the former
football star.  Charges include the theft of sports memorabilia including
baseballs, plaques, a photo feautring J. Edgar Hoover and a mobile phone,
according to police reports.  Kidnapping charges were also added.

Prosecutors contend Simpson and his co-defendants- Walter Alexander,
Clarence Stewart and Michael McClinton-  intended to detain the two
alleged victims, Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong, using a weapon.
Charges include first-degree kidnapping with a weapon, robbery with a
weapon.  Police said Simpson orchestrated the robbery and that the
suspects had at least two guns, which were recovered during searches by
the authorities.  In his defense, Simpson claims that he entered the hotel
room with friends, posing as potential buyers, after being tipped off that
some of his own personal items were for sale there.  He admitted carrying
the items from the room, but said no guns were involved and denied that it
was a robbery that took place on, burglary with a weapon, coercion and
conspiracy to commit kidnapping and robbery.

Last Tuesday, two of the five co-defendants in the case pleaded guilty to reduced charges, agreeing to testify against Simpson and three others in the alleged hotel room theft.  Walter Alexander pleaded guilty to the charge of felony conspiracy to commit robbery.  Minutes later, Charles Cahmore also pleaded guilty to felony accessory to robbery.  Clark County District Attorney David Roger dropped kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy charges against both men.  Cashmore was released from house arrest, and could get probation or up to one to five years in prison atsentencing, according to Roger.

As for Alexander, the district attorney sought a suspended sentence which could get him probation instead of one to six years in prison.  After a status check on April 15, the two will face sentencing.  Simpson and the other three co-defendants did not have to appear while the two entered pleas.  There have been no discussions with Roger on a plea agreement for Simpson, according to his lawyer Gabriel Grasso.
