TMZ has the incriminating audio. Have a listen for yourself. I've listened to this teaser, and I hate saying it, but there's plenty of indication that indeed some gunplay is involved.
TMZ has obtained an audio tape of O.J. Simpson's confrontation with a sports memorabilia dealer that led to his arrest on felony robbery charges. In it, you hear someone say, "You against the motherf*****g wall."Now was that some gangsta sh*t or what!?!? I don't know if I'm listening to OJ, a Gangsta Grillz mixtape skit, or Avon Barksdale on this audiotape, but this to me sounds pretty difficult to doctor.
The tape was recorded by Thomas Riccio, who co-owns the auction house Universal Rarities. Riccio met up with Simpson just before the confrontation at the Palace Station Casino on Thursday night.
We're told Riccio was on hand to help Simpson prove certain memorabilia being auctioned by Alfred Beardsley was ill-gotten. 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.
Riccio turned his Olympus digital voice recorder on before the group entered the room -- a group that included Simpson and four other men. Almost immediately, Simpson went wild, hurling profanities at Beardsley and another memorabilia dealer, Bruce Fromong.
The confrontation lasts six minutes. It is graphic and telling. Simpson is clearly the ringleader. Simpson repeatedly says, "Think you can steal my s**t and sell it?"
Still, what kinda crap is it that these bamas just happened to have a digital audio recorder running? Didn't OJ allegedly kick in the door wavin' the 44!??! I guess they took a brief pause from "keep ya' hands high" to press that red record button. Odd. Again, something just doesn't quite add up.
Sorry Juice, this looks like the end of the line. They dug the grave and just happily leaped in head first. Johnny Cochran's pushin' up daisies, and we know the fine folks at Greenberg and Bederman can't exactly help you get away with this sorta stuff.
Don't drop the Lever 2000, Orenthal.
