OJ Prosecutor Subpoenaed in Robbery Accomplice's Media Defamation Trial

O.J. Simpson's longtime friend and robbery accomplice got a judge's permission to call Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor from Simpson's murder trial, for testimony in his $20 million defamation case against a Florida newspaper, court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal.

Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich is suing the Miami New Times, alleging the outlet published an article falsely suggesting he was an accomplice in the deadly stabbings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

According to the latest filing in his case, a judge granted the ex-con's request to subpoena Clark along with her co-prosecutor on the Simpson case, Christopher Darden, and the former Los Angeles police chief on the investigation, Mark Fuhrman for depositions. Clark and her team were unable to sway the jury in the sensational 1994 double murder trial, and Simpson was famously acquitted.

This one's for all you nostalgia buffs out there. Ehrlich got convicted along with Simpson for the Las Vegas robbery, but there's nothing at all linking him to the murders. But the Miami New Times just reported on the script for Juiced in the March 2021 article at hand, as well as Simpson's own book originally titled "If I Did It," later changed to "I Did it" when Fred Goldman seized control of the book. The speculation about Ehrlich's role in the June 1994 murders came from those sources and not the Miami New Times.

 Still, it sounds as though the court will let Ehrlich make his case, which is interesting enough.
