It happened in an area of Palm Bay known as the compound.
But Simpson still hasn’t been sentenced.
During his last sentencing date, Simpson’s defense attorney, Christopher Beres, was in Cambodia.
And he didn’t appear on Microsoft Teams as requested and last week, Beres was discharged as Simpson’s attorney.
The defendant told the judge he would attempt to hire a new attorney.
The judge plans to set a new sentencing date after Simpson’s December 18th status hearing.
