It seems that a key witness in the much talked about O.J. Simpson robbery trial has not given a very accurate testimony on Tuesday. Sports memorabilia dealer Bruce Fromong, who returned to the witness stand yesterday after falling ill a day earlier, faced several contradictions in his testimony, including his assertion that he had no intention of profiting from the casino hotel room confrontation, which obviously led to charges against The Juice.

Bruce Fromong told defense attorney Gabriel Grasso that he did not take into account financial issues while allegedly being robbed of sports collectibles by the former football star and the men who were accompanying him.

“You were not trying to profit off this?” Gabriel Grasso asked the witness. “I was not trying to profit from it,” Fromong answered, according to The Associated Press.

In order to prove that the memorabilia dealer was contradicting himself, the legal representative played a tape recording of the heavily discussed incident which took place in 2007, in which Bruce Fromong was clearly saying that he wanted to make the most of the situation. “It’s not (expletive) over. I’ll have ‘Inside Edition’ down here for us tomorrow. I told them I want big money,” he said in the recording.

Fromong had no other option that to admit that the voice on the tape was his and he acknowledged that he subsequently presented the merchandise on eBay making use of the following statement: “The same ones stolen by O.J. in Las Vegas.”

In addition to this, District Attorney David Roger requested another play of the tape section in which Fromong ranted and raved against the ex-football player. “Nobody puts a (expletive) gun in my face. I stood up for this (expletive) when he was in jail. I stood up for him when he was on trial. I set up his offshore accounts,” the recording depicted him as saying, the AP reported.

O.J. Simpson and co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart have pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges, including robbery, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and coercion.

However, the trial did not go on smoothly, as David Roger called the confrontation a robbery. Thus, the defense, which claims that O.J. Simpson was only trying to recuperate stolen personal belongings, objected saying the remark was a legal conclusion. The judge told the tense attorneys to sit down and suggested everybody in the court to stay calm.

“The last thing you want me to do as the judge is to start losing my temper in front of the fine ladies and gentlemen of the jury and having to deal with all of you. You’ve been warned, folks,” she said.

Bruce Fromong nonetheless continued to contradict himself. He initially said that he felt his life was threatened, to subsequently assert that he was not scared at all.

Furthermore, in spite of the fact that he claimed the memorabilia O.J. Simpson was after was not stolen, he later said that he did not know where some of the items came from.

“I believe those items belong to Mr. Simpson’s kids. They should go back to him,” he said, explaining that if he and the former athlete had talk about the situation, they could have come to “an arrangement.”

The court also witnessed on Tuesday a surveillance video from the Palace Station casino hotel, where the alleged robbery took place, which showed the arrival and leaving of Simpson, Stewart and seven other men. Moreover, the tapes showed that when the men left the building, they were carrying several boxes.
