I like Yahoo's term, a legal saga.

You'd think he'd want to actually avoid attention after everything else.*sigh*

I truly believe that he is addicted to media attention. He may not do these things consciously in order to get in the news, but something has to be going on there. He can't get the coverage by rushing for 2,000 yards in a season, so maybe these exploits are a subconscious way to get that back...

Of course, I'm no shrink.

Who said any thinking was involved?

I'm not sure the man is actually capable of concious thought at this point. If he is, he's not capable of anything useful at any rate.

UPDATE: He's been charged.

The Beeb wrote:OJ Simpson charged over robbery

OJ Simpson's 1995 murder trial was followed across the world
Ex-American football star OJ Simpson has been charged in connection with an alleged armed robbery in Las Vegas.
He is accused of taking part in a raid on a sports memorabilia dealer at a hotel room in the Palace Station Casino last Thursday.

Eight charges have been filed against Mr Simpson, including kidnapping, conspiracy and robbery.

Mr Simpson has said he was trying to retrieve stolen items belonging to him, and denies any guns were involved.

Three co-defendants were charged with 11 criminal counts including coercion and assault with a deadly weapon.

Settlements

Mr Simpson gained international notoriety in 1995 when he was tried and acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Although Mr Simpson was cleared of murder in a criminal court in 1995, he was later found liable for the deaths at a civil trial.

He was ordered to pay $33.5m (Â£17m) in damages - money that has never been collected. In July this year the rights to Mr Simpson's book, If I Did It, were awarded to Mr Goldman's family to help recoup some of those damages.

The book, in which Mr Simpson describes hypothetically how he could have killed his ex-wife and her friend, was published in the US last Thursday by Beaufort Books with the title, If I Did It: Confession of the Killer.

The publication followed months of legal wrangling after Rupert Murdoch's companies cancelled plans to publish the book following a public outcry in 2006.
