O.J. jurors said they didn't rely on witnesses to convict

It's not so surprising that O.J. Simpson was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping last week in Las Vegas, but what is interesting is that jurors said they didn't rely on testimony of witnesses to convict him and a co-defendant.

They said they relied more on recordings and other documented evidence. Prosecutors had given plea deals to several other co-defendants in exchange for their testimony. In a press conference, jurors said they couldn't trust the testimony of those witnesses.

Simpson -- who now is probably more famous for his 1995 acquittal on charges that he killed his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman than for his athletic or acting careers -- will be sentenced in December.
