LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson returned home to Miami on Thursday, a day after an angry Las Vegas judge doubled his bail but allowed him to stay out of jail while he awaits trial on armed robbery.
Tom Scotto, who coordinated with four other friends to raise Simpson’s bail, greeted Simpson after his arrival at Miami International Airport and escorted him to a waiting sport utility vehicle. Neither man spoke to reporters before the vehicle departed from the airport.
When Scotto talked to Simpson the night before the bail revocation hearing, “He said, ‘Pray for me.’ That’s a first. He was really nervous she wasn’t going to let him out.”
Simpson, 60, posted bond and was released from jail just after 11 p.m. Wednesday. He walked out by himself, got into a white Mercedes, and was driven away without speaking to the media.
The former football star was picked up last Friday in Florida by a bail bondsman and taken back to Nevada for violating terms of his release.
