Current Headlines: A CO-DEFENDANT in OJ Simpson's armed robbery case will plead guilty to a reduced charge and testify that guns were involved.

Charles Cashmore is accused of being one of five men who joined Simpson in a hotelroom confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers.

He will testify that two of the other men who entered the room with the former football star were armed, Cashmore's lawyer Edward Miley said.

Miley said Cashmore will plead guilty on Monday to being an accessory to robbery, a felony that could get him up to five years in prison.

"He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time," Miley said of Cashmore, a 40 year-old labourer, bartender and disc jockey, who lives in Las V egas.
