Stating it was “mind boggling to this court” that Mr. Orenthal James Simpson had violated the terms of his bail, District Court Judge Jackie Glass increased Simpson’s bail to $250,000, required him to post a 15-percent premium totaling $37,500, and admonished the defendant to follow the terms of his bail or he would spend the time waiting for his April 7 , 2008 trial in jail.
Judge Glass placed further restrictions on Mr. Simpson, requiring him to not contact any witness or co-defendant by any means and not to leave the continental United States for travel. “No contact. That means no phone messages, no emails, no letters, no nothing,” said Glass.
Simpson’s bail was revoked by his bail bondsman last Friday (Jan. 11). The Clark County District Attorney then filed a motion to formally revoke the defendant’s bail pending the trial. Judge Glass refused to revoke the bail or place Simpson on house arrest. She told Mr. Simpson that, “There are conditions. There are rules. If anything like this happens in the future, you will be locked up in the Clark County Detention Center.”
