O.J. Simpson Arrest Exclusive: Top Ten Reasons If He Did It

O.J. Simpson, claiming that he is “really innocent this time,” was booked Sunday evening on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count each of armed burglary, conspiracy, and wearing golf shoes in a hotel room.

The charges were brought against Mr. Simpson, 60, after police had investigated an alleged sports-memorabilia sting turned armed robbery turned fiasco that Mr. Simpson is said to have masterminded.

Mr. Simpson, whose first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday, is currently being held without bail.

Although Postcards fully believes that all persons are innocent until they plead to a lesser charge—or a jury of their peers lets them walk just to “stick it to the man”—we could not resist speculating about the reasons why Mr. Simpson committed his latest crime. We therefore present, for entertainment purposes only, the top ten reasons why O.J. did it.
