LAS VEGAS—Jurors in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery and kidnapping case are plowing through hours of secret recordings made by a collectibles broker who says a plan to recover a cache of the former football star's personal property worked well -- until a gun was displayed.
Testimony resumes this morning with Thomas Riccio on the witness stand and the jury trying to decipher and weigh the importance of audio recordings Riccio made.
Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart face kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy and other charges in the alleged theft of items from two sports memorabilia dealers a year ago.
Riccio recorded the confrontation involving Simpson, five associates and the two memorabilia peddlers in a casino hotel room -- along with conversations with Simpson and other people hours earlier around a hotel resort pool.
Jurors have been told to disregard Simpson's 1995 acquittal in the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, but references to the slayings have been made throughout the trial.
