Simpson jury: We didn’t need witnesses

LAS VEGAS—Jurors who convicted O.J. Simpson of armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas say they relied more on video and other documented evidence than on witness testimony.

Juror Michelle Lyons said Sunday that the panelists felt they “could not rely on that witness testimony.”

She says jurors instead used video, audio and documented evidence to evaluate whether Simpson was guilty of each of 12 counts. She was one of seven jurors to speak to reporters.

Jury foreman Paul Connelly says it might have been a waste for prosecutors to give plea deals to several Simpson co-defendants in exchange for their testimony.

The 61-year-old Simpson was convicted Friday of charges stemming from a hotel room last year. Sentencing is set for December.
