LAS VEGAS - An angry judge doubled O.J. Simpson's bail to $250,000 on Wednesday for violating terms of his original bail by attempting to contact a co-defendant in the armed robbery case against him. "I don't know Mr. Simpson what the heck you were thinking - or maybe that's the problem - you weren't," District Judge Jackie Glass told Simpson during the hearing. Glass said that the order to not contact other defendants was clear and she warned that if anything else happened Simpson would be locked up. She warned him against contacting anyone else in the case, and barred him from leaving the country.
