READ THIS ARTICLE FROM CNN.COM

It's the latest on OJ Simpson's hotel room/memorabilia troubles. The whole thing doesn't make sense to me. I have read about four or five articles since Friday on this topic and I have seen conflicting reports, stuff that makes no sense and very few real details.

From what I got out of the initial reports, it looked like someone called Tom Riccio (of Universal Rarities) and tried to sell or consign him some OJ memorabilia. The reports also said that Riccio has dealt with OJ in the past and he tipped Simpson off that someone was trying to sell his stolen memorabilia.

Then I read this article, which is linked above, and one of OJ's friends was quoted as saying this on Larry King: "It's very obvious that Thomas Riccio had intentions to set O.J. up, and that's what happened."-Walter Alexander

Also according to what I have read, Riccio was the man who recorded the altercation at the hotel and was also the man who provided TMZ.com with the audio tape.

If all this is true, why what motive would Riccio have to set him up? I just don't get it. The first reports made it look like he was trying to help OJ and now this Alexander guy says that he thinks Riccio was setting him up?

I called Tom on Friday and left a voice mail message with him. So far I haven't heard back from him.

Does anyone out there have any inside information on this?
