One of the alleged victims in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery and kidnapping trial testified Thursday that he didn't want to be on the witness stand and provided key evidence undermining the prosecution's case.
Memorabilia peddler and convicted felon Alfred Beardsley testified that he and Simpson were "set up" by Thomas Riccio, the collectibles broker who arranged their meeting in a casino hotel room, and that "chunks" of dialogue were missing from secret recordings Riccio made of the confrontation.
"I do not want to be here," Beardsley said. "I've made that clear for the past year."
