LAS VEGAS -- O.J. Simpson says he's being victimized by an ambitious Nevada prosecutor pressing an armed robbery case that even the alleged victims don't want to pursue.

Simpson let loose this week in comments to a Fargo, N.D., radio station KFGO.

He says he faces trial in Las Vegas on Sept. 8 because of who he is.

Simpson says he's got a dollar sign on his back and a bull's eye on his front and everybody's trying to benefit from him.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger is declining comment.

Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells The Associated Press that Simpson was just venting frustration at facing trial for trying to recover "family heirlooms" that were stolen from him.
