Charles Cashmore, one of the five men accused of joining O.J. Simpson in a September 13th hotel room raid of two sports memorabilia dealers, will plead guilty to a reduced charge and testify that guns were involved in the theft of sports collectibles.

Cashmore's attorney, Edward Miley, said Friday (October 12th) that Cashmore -- a Las Vegas bartender and DJ -- will testify that Walter Alexander and Michael McClinton had guns when they entered the room with the former football star. He will plead guilty to being an accessory to robbery, a felony that could get him up to five years in prison.

A court hearing is set for today (October 15th).

Cashmore surrendered to police six days after the incident and turned over the memorabilia items he carried from the hotel room. He maintains that he met Simpson and most of the others in the group for the first time minutes before the alleged robbery.

Simpson and the others are charged with kidnapping, armed robbery, assault, burglary and conspiracy. Simpson also faces a felony charge of coercion.
