Facing multiple felony charges, O.J. Simpson is being held without bail in a Vegas jail as a risk flight. My pal Robin Leach has been following the story more closely with the bail, the mug shots, the arrest and the hours leading up to the arrest, but I can't help but think what happens if this goes to trial?As Robin points out, O.J.'s plea should be coming up soon and the way we do it in Vegas is via closed-circuit television from the detention center. So O.J. shouldn't actually physically be in court, but on a TV in court -- a different form of Court TV.
Should the allegations lead to a trial, the bad news for O.J. is the late, great Johnnie Cochran is no longer around to mastermind his defense to these charges.
The good news for O.J. is that as part of the wizardry that is the "What Happens in Vegas" campaign, there is a Vegas Alibi Kit he might be able to utilize. I don't think it was built for these kinds of alibis, but the kit might be worth checking out.
If that doesn't work, maybe Carlos Mencia's "The Ghost of Johnnie Cochran" can help. However, since TMZ has audio of the O.J. confrontation with "The Juice" as the alleged ring leader, it may take more than the 'Mind of Mencia' to stop the squeeze. Watch more tonight on TMZ TV.

1. I feel for his children [ Mr. Simpson ]. This has to be devasting for them. Once again their Dad is in a negative light.
He really should've thought of them before setting out to do this... too bad.
