O.J. Simpson's robbery and kidnapping jury in the US have been played recordings of spiteful Las Vegas police celebrating the disgraced sport's star imminent arrest last year.
On a secret tape, police investigators preparing to detain the American football legend could be heard talking and swearing about Simpson.
The inference being put to the jury is that the police were pleased to be arresting him because he had been acquitted in 1995 of murdering his wife and her friend.
According to the transcript, the following exchange occurred between Las Vegas Metropolitan police Lieutenant Clint Nichols and LVPD crime scene analyst Clint Perkins:
Nichols: "Uh, he's gonna get arrested."
Perkins: "Who, who's gonna get arrested?"
Nichols: "O.J."
Perkins: "Oh, good."
Later, Perkins says: "You're just pickin' on him cause you're mad about the verdict (in the murder case)."
Nichols: "Yep."
The tape was made by Simpson friend Thomas Riccio, who was with Simpson in the hotel room when he entered to retrieve allegedly stolen memorabilia.
During a police interview, he left a recorder running on top of a cabinet and it was not detected by police.
Simpson, 61, faces a dozen charges of armed robbery and kidnapping that could land him in prison for life if convicted.
He is accused of leading a gang of gun-carrying associates into a Las Vegas hotel room last September to confront two sports memorabilia dealers who were attempting to sell the memorabilia.
