Fourth co defendant pleads guilty in Simpson case
In Las Vegas, Charles Ehrlich pleaded guilty to reduced charges of attempted accessory to robbery and attempted burglary, agreeing to testify against O J Simpson and the remaining co defendant. The plea leaves Clarence C J Stewart as the sole defendant facing trial beginning September 8. In Rome, Andrea Baldini tested positive on the B sample for the diuretic furosemide, confirming the doping case that cost him Olympic team eligibility, though he denies using banned substances. The B sample stemmed from the European Championships in Ukraine, with tests conducted in Prague.
