Secretly Taped Recordings Played At Simpson Trial

Jurors In The Simpson Trial Heard From A Memorabilia Dealer Who Set Up The Plan To Help OJ Get Personal Items Back

MIAMI (CBS4) ― Jurors on Friday in Las Vegas were taken to a hotel room where they were given a firsthand look at the room where the confrontation between O.J. Simpson and two sports memorabilia dealers took place last year.

The first week of the trial wrapped up with testimony from one collectible dealer - Thomas Riccio - who arranged the now-notorious meeting between two other memorabilia dealers, Bruce Fromong and Alfred Beardsley, and Simpson in a Palace Station hotel room last year.

Riccio used an audio recorder to secretly record the six-minute confrontation in the hotel room, as well as several other conversations he had before and after the run-in occurred.

Along with one of the six men who accompanied Simpson on Sept. 13, 2007, Clarence "C.J." Stewart, the former NFL star now faces a dozen robbery, weapons and kidnapping-related offenses.

The trial began Monday and is expected to last another four weeks.
