O.J. Simpson may potentially find himself in jail for the long term starting in 2008, as the former NFL star and two others go to trial in April on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.

Simpson found his way back to a courtroom in September, 13 years after being acquitted of murder charges following the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Two months after the Las Vegas arrest, Simpson and co-defendants Clarence "C.J." Stewart and Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich all plead not guilty to 12 charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, coercion and conspiracy charges.

Three former Simpson co-defendants cut plea deals with prosecutors and testified at his preliminary hearing, and are expected to testify at the trial, set for April 7.

Also in 2007, Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, won the rights to Simpson's canceled book, "If I Did It," a hypothetical telling of how he would have committed the murders of his ex-wife and Goldman's son. The action was taken by Fred Goldman to help satisfy the $33.5 million judgment his family won after Simpson was found liable in a wrongful death suit.

But Goldman's legal woes look to continue in 2008, even against parties other than Simpson.

Just after Simpson was ordered to stand trial in Las Vegas, Goldman filed a lawsuit to stop the Swedish file-sharing site The Pirate Bay from posting what he claims is the entire "If I Did It Book" online.

Goldman claims he has lost at least $150,000 since the popular site made the book available for free downloads, according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
