O.J. Simpson to be arraigned on felony charges

Simpson and two co-defendants were to appear before Eighth District Judge Jackie Glass for a felony arraignment on charges stemming from a confrontation in a Las Vegas hotel room on September 13.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, told The Associated Press the arraignment process was likely to be brief -- but added, "There's nothing in this case that has been standard."

Simpson, 60, has pleaded not guilty to 12 criminal counts in connection with what prosecutors contend was an armed robbery.

The counts include conspiracy, kidnapping, robbery, burglary, coercion and assault with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors allege Simpson and five other men burst into a room at the Palace Station Hotel, held two memorabilia dealers -- Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong -- against their will and flashed at least one gun while removing items.
