Witness Contradicts Simpson 'Invasion'

Judge To Determine If Simpson To Stand Trial

One key prosecution witness contradicted the account of another Friday, saying he used a key to admit O.J. Simpson and a group of men to a Las Vegas hotel room to claim Simpson's property, denying there was a "military style invasion."

"I had a key and I let them in. Nobody was busting the door down," Thomas Riccio said.

Riccio was the memorabilia dealer who set up the hotel room meeting that led to Simpson's arrest on robbery and other charges. He said the former football star told him he never saw a gun during the confrontation.

But Riccio said he saw a man wave a gun near his face as hundreds of items were being taken from two other memorabilia dealers. He said the plan Simpson put together to retrieve the items he said were stolen from him began to "go south" when the weapon was pulled.

"O.J. made it clear to me he didn't see a gun. I made it clear to him I did," Ricco said.

Riccio's testimony came during the second day of an evidentiary hearing to determine if Simpson, "C.J." Stewart and Charles Ehrlich should face armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges.
