Jury selection is under way at a court in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the trial of former US football star OJ Simpson.
Mr Simpson was arrested last September for allegedly robbing at gunpoint two sports memorabilia dealers in a hotel.
He faces 12 charges including assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and burglary. If found guilty he could face life in prison.
Mr Simpson, 61, and his co-defendant, Clarence Stewart, 54, have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Mr Simpson's legal team has said he was trying to retrieve stolen memorabilia that belonged to him from a Las Vegas hotel and has denied that any guns were involved.
