One of the men accusing O.J. Simpson of robbing him last Thursday is in the hospital. A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles says Bruce Fromong is in the intensive care unit after suffering what's being described as a massive heart attack.
News 3's Jesse Corona spoke with Bruce Fromong's neighbors who say they can hardly believe everything that's been happening.
Before 53-year-old Bruce Fromong was an alleged victim in O.J. Simpson's personal sports memorabilia sting, he was an O.J. supporter. Fromong testified for Simpson's defense in the wrongful death case brought by Fred Goldman.
He also somehow came into possession of the suit that Simpson wore when he was acquitted of criminal charges in the infamous 1994 double murder........."

*shrug* It does say a jury of your peers...

They would have one hell of a time trying to make felony murder out of the death of this guy, and absence special evidence (e.g., that he started having trouble during the incident that continued to this heart attack) I doubt they’d even try.
This guy will have plenty of excellent doctors taking care of him at Cedar’s Sinai. I think that the prestige, caliber, and testimony of the prosecutor’s expert witnesses (in this case, most likely the doctors from a well-known medical facility—Cedar’s Sinai (ER doctors, ICU doctors, and primary doctor)), will also be persuasive to any jury.
How you gonna prove that?
So called??
Was he armed or not? If so, what possible reason can he put forth for being armed along with other thugs?
If there was no robbery or intent then he would not have been armed.
How many legitimate business deals do you go to armed?
Not to mention Nicole.
No.
How would they prove a connection between the robbery and the heart attack given that the heart attack happened several days after the robbery? Yes,if it happened during the robbery then it wouldn't be tough to prove.But days afterwards.....a defense medical examiner or cardiologist could say "given the data that I've seen this guy's heart was a ticking time bomb.I'm surprised that he didn't die ten years ago.Being startled by the ringing of a telephone could have been enough to kill him".
This case just keeps getting more intriguing by the day. What it really needs is a Kato Katlin character.
LOL!
If he dies, add it to Simpson’s ledger.

This is General/Chat stuff, for sure.
It is most definitely NOT news.
I disagree and so do many others:
What if he didn't do anything wrong, still fine by you?
Gads, these peoples lives are the very definition of “sleaze”.
Those may be necessary conditions (generally), but stress is capable of causing or exacerbating just about any imaginable medical problem, even in animals. In other words, an individual under normal levels of stress may not experience a cardiac event unless he he the foregoing conditions you mentioned, but under high levels of stress, a physically normal individual may be struck down. Another way to look at it is that under enough stress, EVERY PERSON would die, although the actual organs affected would vary from case to case.
Most people have heard stories of a spouse who will die a short time after the partner passes away. This is not uncommon. Stress can do anything the most terrible cancer or heart disease can do.
