Description
"You think you can steal my sh*t and sell it?"
In 1995, NFL great and movie star, O.J. Simpson beat a murder rap for the death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. But in 2007 his luck with avoiding Lady Justice ran out in Las Vegas.
ROOM 1203 is the true story of the convoluted and bizarre events surrounding a violent armed robbery of a sports memorabilia collector in a Vegas hotel. On that night, Simpson put an exclamation mark on his spectacular fall from the height of Hollywood’s glamour and glitz to a shadowy world of scams and schemers in Sin City.
Written by the lead detective assigned to the case, the book provides details, insights and facts not previously reported, as well as the investigation that pieced the crime together and landed an arrogant man who believed he was above the law in a Nevada prison.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"OJ had been out of the spotlight for awhile and I had pretty much forgotten about him. And then came the news of his pending parole hearing and likely release, accompanied by the publication of Room 1203. I immediately got the book and read it in two sittings, which is very fast for me. It brought it all back - exactly who and what Simpson is. It also dispelled the idea that the robbery in Las Vegas was more of a misunderstanding than a real crime and that Simpson was merely trying to get back his own property. Thank you Mr. Caldwell for a great read." - Dennis N. Griffin, author of THE RISE AND FALL OF A 'CASINO' MOBSTER

I was glued to the tv during the whole tv trial of oj. It was kind of boring in some places, not too bad, though. This book was just like that. Some stuff that doesn't add to the story but for clarity sake it is good it is in there but made for dry reading. I 3 fed up skipping over some stuff in a few places. Overall, I don't feel I learned anything new and in light of this October he has been granted parole for this very crime, it gave me a little further insight into his mindset and why he might have done this in the first place.

This is closer to 3.5 than 4.0, but I round up when that choice is not an option. While not as tantalizing as the other OJ Simpson criminal case, and subsequent plethora of books, this was a formidable exploration of the armed robbery case involving Mr. Simpson. I appreciate that this book is written by the lead detective in the case, and as such, the reader gets a glimpse into how a case evolves for the officers working the case, not just the attorneys. There is some new information provided, and some insight not previously disseminated to the general public, but overall, there is no earth-shattering, gotcha moment in this book. Rather, this book does an excellent job laying out the facts of the case, what transpired during each step of the process, and what the outcome was. While not 100% polished, this was a great effort for the author's first published book.
