Sentencing is today. Happening right now in fact. Predictions are 10 years or more.. think the range is something like 6 to forever.

Yep, looks like he got a minimum of 6 years before the possibility of parole even comes up. Ah no.. there's another 1.5-10 years tacked on. So realistically the best he can hope for is 8-10 years.

[Salshun]

15 years. I know it's wrong but damn karma got hers today.


Ah hell, it isn't wrong. Enjoy the ass rape you murdering son of a bitch.

It's really his secret plan. He's searched every possible suspect outside of jail..so he's getting himself arrested to take a look on the inside.

I was sitting at the bar in a mexican place eating lunch when the verdict was read. This guy sitting next to me flipped his shit, shouting about how it's all bullshit and OJ was set up because the one guy had a tape recorder, as though the presence of the tape somehow absolves him of armed robbery. I got to talking with the gent, and it turns out he also believed that there was a massive set up 13 years ago too, and that OJ would never have been so stupid as to leave blood everywhere, his glove behind, shoe prints, etc. The mountain of evidence was, to him, only proof of the frame.

I honestly didn't know people still really tried to argue he didn't do it. I really thought Chris Rock was right when he said something along the lines of "yeah, we know he did it, we were just kiddin when we said he was innocent". Turns out there really are still OJ conspiracists out there.

33 years actually lol. I guess it was such a confusing sentence that nobody really knew what the total would be except for the judge handing it out. As I was listening though it seemed like some of it would be additive and not all concurrent.. cause she was saying like counts 1 and 2 are concurrent... counts 3 and 4 are concurrent.. etc.

33 years for holding somebody at gunpoint to get memorabilia.. thats nuts. The judge said his previous trial had no impact on her sentence, but does anybody really believe that?

[Eomer]

So awesome. Hopefully his crazy ass never sees the light of day again.

The kidnapping charge is a trumped up technicality. The only reason why he got fucked is because he was on audio tape saying "Dont let anyone leave this room". Did anyone ask to leave the room? Did anyone TRY to leave the room? Prove it. They were in the room to begin with, he did not transport anyone against their will. And there is no proof he held anyone against their will.

This is a sad day for the legal system. I mean just wow...clear manipulation of ambiguous legislation to trump up a charge.

Its time for some new legislation seperating the different degrees of so-called "kidnapping". The wording of the law is being abused to put people like Simpson behind bars. And in this case it was abused to vindicate one of his previous "crimes".

The INTENDED definition of kidnapping is not what Simpson was punished for. I hope he wins an appeal, as does the entire legal community. Overreaching laws to put someone away for 15 years is incredulous and a travesty.

Im not surprised a female judge handed down the sentencing. More emotions involved again in someones well-being. Disgusting.

the much sadder day for the legal system was 12 years ago when he got off for 1st degree murder of 2 innocent individuals. what OJ got today was a minor correction of that case. he still needs to burn for what he did.

You should probably, you know, read the law.

Courts get pretty funny when you take and hold someone in a private residence, the whole home invasion thing.

Laws tend to go through very very steep inclines of severity, depending on circumstance. If you go buy a gun after seeing your wife cheating, then wait for a few hours for her to come home, kill her and bury the body, you will probably get life or death if you're caught. If you walk in on her fucking the guy, grab the gun from your desk drawer and shoot them both, you might be out in 15-20.

A lot of law changes drastically depending on how things went down..In many cases, you'll end up getting a much harsher punishment if you use a gun, then without, for example, even if the crime is essentially the same (For most things but murder.)

the much sadder day for the legal system was 12 years ago when he got off for 1st degree murder of 2 innocent individuals. what OJ got today was a minor correction of that case. he still needs to burn for what he did.

You can't use the system for perceived injustices within the system. There is a ladder system for that, to challenge those injustices in higher courts. This is one of the few points written directly into the constitution, once the court decides something, unless there was a mistake (Which appellate courts can overturn.) then that is final.

You can't just pick and choose how the courts work. Like it or not (And I happen to agree that it was a miscarriage of justice), O.J. Simpson, is not guilty in regards to killing those two people and that is that.

OJ was obviously guilty the first time around.

That being said, it sucked that he got away with it, but that whole investigation was fucked up from start to finish; the LAPD needed to be bitch slapped back into the academy after failing that miserably.

No one should get convicted by evidence and an investigation as poorly handled as it was for that trial. Taking Simpson's blood sample to the crime scene, then being unable to account for a portion of the sample taken? Not wearing rubber gloves during evidence collection? Waiting weeks to collect blood samples from the scene? So many people deserved to be fucking fired over that mess, it's staggering.

Is this a I watch Judge Judy post or have you actually read a law book?

I think people who play sports good should be treated with more leniency.
