O.J. Simpson was placed on two years’ probation, ordered to undergo counseling and perform community service after pleading no contest to charges he beat his wife during a New Year’s Day argument.
Ronald Schoenberg, West Los Angeles Superior Court judge, also ordered the former USC and National Football League star, who has been attending twice-weekly counseling sessions since January, to pay a $200 fine and donate $500 to an organization for battered women.
Simpson, 41, pleaded no contest Monday to a single charge of spousal battery for beating his wife during an argument early New Year’s Day at the couple’s Brentwood home, when he allegedly screamed, “I’ll kill you,” as he slapped and kicked her.
