A Las Vegas judge doubled the bail on Wednesday for former football star O.J. Simpson, who spent the weekend back behind bars for trying to contact a defendant in his armed robbery case...Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass set bail at $250,000 for Simpson, who was famously acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife and could now face life in prison if convicted of leading a robbery last year to get back his own sports memorabilia.
Glass scolded Simpson for arrogance or ignorance and told him to put his Florida home up as additional surety. She said he would not be released until she had legal papers confirming he had done so. Glass ruled Simpson, 60, had violated the terms of bail set in November at $125,000 when he left a profanity laced telephone message for one of his co-defendants with his bail bondsman.
