From: youtube :: recently added videos Add A Tag This is the complete reading of the OJ Simpson jury verdict finding him guilty of robbery and kidnapping in a Las Vegas courtroom on late Friday evening, October 3, 2008. The video goes from the Judge addressing the jury about reaching a verdict to OJ being led away in handcuffs. I will explain a few things about what is in the video. 1. The video starts by the Judge confirming to the jury that they have reached a verdict. The Judge then reads the verdict forms that have been completed by the jurors. It is at this time the Judge first becomes aware of the verdicts reached. 2. The Judge then handed the verdict forms to the clerk for a reading of the verdicts into the record and to inform everyone present in court about the jury's verdict. 3. The clerk starts with the verdict on co-defendant Clarence Stewart. Note that at this point that while camera is on Stewart, OJ knows he will be found guilty too. 4. The OJ verdict is then read. 5. On request of the lawyers, the Judge then has the jury polled. This is simply asking each juror if the verdict reached is indeed the verdict that the juror intended. After the jury was polled, the Judge tells the jury they may leave the courtroom. 6. The Judge then hears the typical motions that lawyers file and have heard when a defendant loses a case. the verdicts. The Judge summarily denies the motions. 7. It's then Yale Galanter's turn [OJ's lawyer.] He makes the same motions and those are summarily denied. 8. Note at the time that the lawyers are making their arguments that in the background one of the deputy sheriffs is holding handcuffs ready to be placed on OJ. 9. The Judge then orders the defendants to be taken into custody immediately.
