As of 11 a.m. the press conference has not started but Metro police have now said officially that Simpson is a suspect in the burglary allegations and is being treated as such accordingly. O.J. himself told Associated Press moments ago that he denied breaking into the room and that he was only there to get memorabilia that belonged to him.

Simpson said he was conducting a “sting operation” to collect his belongings when he was escorted into the room at the Palace Station casino.

Despite the denial, however, Metro will announce at the delayed press conference that they are continuing the investigation and will turn over the results to the District Attorney for that office to pursue any charges against Simpson and his group.
