Michael McClinton agrees to sell Simpson down the river for reduced charges.

A third man has agreed to testify against O.J. Simpson in exchange for reduced charges involving a September robbery at the Palace Station Casino in Las Vegas. Simpson and two other men face 12 criminal charges.

Michael McClinton has agreed to plead guilty to robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery, the AP reports. McClinton, 49, will testify against Simpson and two other men involved in the case, where Simpson and five other men allegedly confronted two collectibles dealers inside a guest room at Palace Station and stole Simpson-related sports memorabilia while armed.

McClinton posted $32,000 bail, and will testify that Simpson asked him to bring two guns to the hotel room where the robbery took place on September 13.

Simpson had previously claimed that no weapons were involved in the alleged robbery.

McClinton could receive probation and a maximum of 11 years in prison. He is set to testify in court Nov. 8.
