Oj Simpson: Bail
built 201 days ago
A handcuffed OJ Simpson has appeared in court again - this time accused of breaching a legal ban by trying to contact a fellow defendant in his upcoming kidnap and armed robbery trial. The ex-US football idol was freed on bail, but the angry judge doubled it to £127,000 because of the legal breach

Clark County District Attorney David Roger alleges that in a November voice message, Simpson told his bail bondsman to contact co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart and express frustration about testimony given at the hearing where Simpson, Stewart and a third man were ordered to stand trial.

The judge ordered Simpson's bail to be doubled after he violated the terms of his previous bail by trying to call a co-defendant which was strictly prohibited. Now Simpson can't leave jail until he pays %15 of the $250,000 bail in full. Besides increasing his bail the judge took a hard line on Simpson explaining exactly what he can and can't do.
