was a criminal case prosecuted in 2007–2008 in the U.S. state of Nevada, primarily involving the former NFL player and actor O. J. Simpson.

On the night of September 13, 2007, a group of men led by Simpson entered a room in the Palace Station hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[3][4] On October 3, 2008—exactly 13 years after he was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman—Simpson was found guilty of all 12 charges.

[10][12] Riccio had Beardsley and Fromong move the items into the room and spread the memorabilia on the bed to create a display.

[13] After a pre-wedding dinner, Simpson and five accomplices drove to the Palace Station, where they met Riccio in the lobby.

The former star athlete said Galanter told him during a dinner discussion in Las Vegas, "you have the right to get your stuff", but cautioned he could not trespass on private property.

[28] Gabriel L. Grasso, Galanter's former friend and co-counsel, said the lawyer complained during the case that he did not have money to hire investigators or an expert to analyze a critical audio recording from the night of the heist.

[29] The celebrity gossip website TMZ.com published an audio recording of the incident which indicated Simpson and others shouted at the occupants of the room and demanded the return of various items.

[34] Alexander's ex-wife gave an interview to the New York Times in which she said many people carry tape recorders with them around Simpson to try and catch him slipping so they can profit from it.

He also added that McClinton impersonated a police officer and acted too rough to the surprise of the others, including Simpson.

Presiding Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure, Jr., stated that Simpson was not allowed to have any contact with any of the co-defendants, and must surrender his passport.

[39] On October 3, 2008, Simpson was found guilty of all charges and was immediately remanded to the Clark County Detention Center pending sentencing.

Galanter and Stewart later appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court after Judge Glass denied their motions, and the defendants were found guilty.

In October 2010, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed Simpson's convictions, while Stewart's appeal was accepted.

[40] Stewart was released in January 2011 after entering an Alford plea and being sentenced to 9 months house arrest and 3 years probation.

[citation needed] Galanter motioned for a rehearing of the Simpson appeal in November 2010, which was denied by the Nevada Supreme Court in February 2011.

Alfred Beardsley stated that he told District Attorney David Roger and another official that the audio had been doctored.

Simpson was represented at the hearing by Palm, who was joined by attorneys Ozzie Fumo and Thomas Pitaro.

He stated that Simpson had confided to him that guns were brought to the hotel room, and admitted to Galanter that he messed up in doing that.

[47] Galanter made this statement after he was reminded that Simpson had waived attorney-client privilege, enabling his former attorney to testify.

Galanter testified: "Mr. Simpson never told me he was going to go to the Palace [Station] hotel with a bunch of thugs, kidnap people and take property by force.

Galanter testified that during the trial he informed Simpson that prosecutors were offering a plea with 2–5 years of prison time.
