O. J. Simpson’s trial on Thursday turned into another problem than the one for which they were gathered there. Nine women and three men were selected as jurors in the trial for the ex-American football player.

Still, the problem is that none of the eleven persons is African American and this has lead to serious debates because the defense accused the court of racial bias.

Simpson’s attorneys stated that the Africans Americans were excluded because the prosecution has removed the lone black panelists who were to be selected as a part of the jury. The new jury will be challenged again because of the exclusion of the individual African Americans.

The judge told the Los Angeles Times that "there has been no evidence to me that the state has made a purposeful discriminatory effort to eliminate African American jurors." Simpson seemed very preoccupied about the selection of the jury, but he seemed quite relaxed. The opening statements are set to begin on Monday.

O. J. Simpson earned infamy when he was charged of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. In September 2007, the spokesman and broadcaster faced more legal problems.

He was arrested and charged with many felonies like robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon and first-degree kidnapping. The last charge could give him the life prison sentence.

One year ago, Simpson, 61, robbed two sports memorabilia dealers in a casino hotel room. The officials said that he had been accompanied by six other men but Simpson denied having had any weapon and explained that he was only trying to get back some things that the two had stolen from him.
