O.J. sentenced to years in jail!

i heard the sentence was 9-33 years so he should rot in jail.his sob act was pathetic cos nobody believed it

While I think it is a pathetic failure of the justice system to convict him on his hidious murders I also don't particularly see this as justice, even though I do believe he belongs in prision.

Where are the charges for those who stole HIS things in the first place?? Oh...plea bargained off.

This does NOTHING to restore my faith in our faulty legal system.

What I would really LOVE to see is prision reform where they prisioners do NOT have an easy life, but work 12 - 18 hours per day, depending upon the actual costs to society of their crimes. The first thing that should happen is restitution to make victims (and their families) whole.

A girl who was like a daughter to me was murdered by her husband. Defense did everything they could to drag the victim through the mud, but she was a good and sweet girl so the jury saw through it all. Julia's murder was not quite as ugly as Nicole's murder, but her life was stolen none the less. Fortunately the prosecution took YEARS to develop their case and got a slam dunk prosecution: Life without posibility of parole. Unfortunately this man also has three children with no parent to help support them. This is where the prision reform needs to come in. Yes you have a life sentence. It is not going to be an easy sentence to endure, but it isn't going to be one where you are nothing more than a burden upon society.

I missed the whole OJ thing back in the 90's. I was in my late teens-early 20's; I had a VERY vibrant social life, so I didn't really didn't pay much mind to these kinds of stories back then.

I remembered OJ as being an unbelievably great running back (which, in spite of all that has occurred, he absolutely was).

I dropped out of college (for the first time) just before the verdict in '95. In doing so, I transported myself out of my little social bubble back into this grand world, which I still don't understand or relate to on many levels.

I had grabbed a quick job at a retail store. They announced that the verdict was going to be read over the PA system. I didn't particularly care, but, once I had noticed the store seemed to have been evacuated, I started searching for human life. I found a mass of people gathered in the electronics department.

Everyone (staff, customers, security, etc...) had gathered in the electronics department, where every television was set to the same channel with volume was turned up. When the verdict was read, everyone passionately reacted one way or the other.

Personally, I didn't really care. But I was definitely effected by just how removed from society I had become over the previous 3 years of my life.

Even tonight, as I was buying some beer at a local mini-mart while the OJ news played on a flat screen in the background, the cashier and the customers behind me in line spewed venomous comments about the man. Even though I'm of an age (34) where this should be a big deal to me, as it is with everyone I know in my age group, I still don't care.

The crime itself definitely was a set-up.
The conversation in the hotel room recorded with a device?
Then fellow accomplices plead out with deals in exchange for testimony?
The only thing is, the Juice has always been too ignorant and compulsive. He didn't think twice that it was the real deal.
But like a lot of people said, this serves as retribution for the double murders for a lot of observers. If you want to get into conspiracy theories, this is prime for the taking.
At any rate, I was affected personally when O.J. tried to get that book published. That sort of trash isn't worth the paper it would have been printed on. Plus, how the hell can one even begin to think that is acceptable product for mass consumption.
So now, Mr. Simpson will spend his last days behind bars in somewhat protective custody given his celebrity status. I sincerely hope there will be no future book deals or upcoming TV movie stories in the works.

lol

WHO CARES??? Really,,,,,,,so what,, I would of done the same, BUT! My pals would of probably blasted on fools!

Way to go fuck up.

I don't care who you are. If you get convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery you need to go to prison and re-think your life.

what goes around...

It's about time.

I look forward to the future plugging of his book 'If I Did it: The Robbery Edition.'

Don't understand what possessed him to do this ... now hes gone ... but it does show me that justice is not blind and being acquitted does not mean what it once did ...

They should have convicted him years ago ... but, like capone, he's going away on lesser charges ...

Hope this story ends now ...

Better late than never. You're gonna wish you were a tight end instead of a back, but at least you'll be holding onto balls again.

One less criminal on the streets. Nice to see the judicial system working correctly, for a change.

LOL, I most enjoyed the MANY comments begging us not to care about this monster going to jail.

Many of us will never forget this women was cut up and stabbed almost a hundred times with such rage and fury. What a horrible death they both died. He even dropped his bloody glove on the way back home.

Stop commenting if you don't like the story. I see far less important stuff on Current all the time and wonder why its there. So I just skip it...its not hard to do. OJ is like a car wreck for 9 years we have been watching it and finally, maybe the Golden family and Nicoles family will get a good nights rest.

Remember he was found guilty in a civil trial. But no jail time, just money.

I only hope that Nicole Browns family get some satisfaction of of him going to jail this time around! I cant believe this guy literally had it all and he blew it.

I am so sick of hearing about this guy! ENOUGH already!

to be honest with everybody on current.com this trial had nothing to do with the robbery this have everything to do about what happened to nicole brown and ron goldman but i think about why everybody giving o.j. simpson hard time about murdering his wife when robert blake got away with murdering his wife something is wrong with the picture.

Most of you are completely ridiculous.

There is no way 15 years for a ridiculous altercation with literally NO declared victims can be justifiable through the justice system.

Had O.J. not been carrying a gun, or been in virtually any state but Nevada, his 12 counts of so-called "criminality" would not have even made it to court. If it were anyone else, they would have suffered a slap on the wrist and sentenced probation. He has a perfectly clean record, even if he did get away with murder, and citing karma as suitable reason for his sentencing is a valid opinion to have, but certainly not a justifiable reason for the justice system to fail again.

Point blank, he should have been put in jail for life if he did indeed commit those murders back in '94, and if he didn't, he should have been given the minimum sentencing of 6 years for the current case.

Can anyone say karma?

Finally a little bit of justice... Too bad he didn't go to jail the first time when he murdered two people...

But the worst part is going to be when he gets out in about 5-7 years and is back out on the streets to commit more crimes.

I hope those morons that let him off the first time feel really stupid right about now...

You get away with murder, but you couldn't leave well enough alone. 15 years for robbery? Sounds like some of that is for Nicole.

I'd agree that this story isn't Current Material But still it took a while but this murdering scumbag finally got justice which is noteworthy! I'd also agree that he was set-up but he deserved it and more! I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life!

It was a set up from word go, thats my opinion.

Where's your bronco now beeeeeach?

I think any of us has a right to a fair sentence; not for anything other than the crime at hand. Perhaps I do not understand exactly what happened here, but it sounds like a bunch of steamed up Joes yelling at each other in hotel room. Puffed up bravado.
If so, someone with no history could expect a six to eighteen month sentence. Max.
If he skated before, that was before.

I don't buy the sob act he pulled in the courtroom, he knows exactly what he is doing. Just listen to the tapes and its obvious he is a dangerous man.

In 1994 I was obsessed with watching his totally boring trial on TV. My wife asked why, and I told her I can't help it, he's going to get away with murdering two people. I'm watching a guy get away with murder. I still cannot comprehend how a jury could be so fucking stupid. How did they find 12 people with their heads so far up their asses?
Having seen that, I continued to see him seeking to be the center of attention. OJ the media whore.
Finally the Goldstein's got some small satisfaction. Better than nothing.
After that, all he had to do was take his $30,000 a month in retirement benefits that the Goldstein's couldn't touch, move to Dubai or some other beautiful country where no one knew him, and live happily ever after.
It was a pleasure to watch the living bastard self destruct. In your face you murdering sack of shit! You like young blondes? None where you're going.
Hah-hah!

"Current.com is the place to find and share stories and videos that are interesting to you."

Apparently this IS INTERESTING to a lot of people.

It's about damn time he suffered some consequence.

A time of reflection...

It is a time for examination and atonement. Though confined within the walls of a cell, liberation can be achieved and reconciliation be granted...

Evolve, find your Principle of Power within; Create Greatness and share it with the World...

Now.....if only we could get Bush, Cheney and the rest of the "thugs" in Washington behind bars....

Everybody in their right mind knows that this sentencing is for what happened in 94. And he'll be denied parole in 6 years. He'll live out the rest of his days behind bars.

I don't CARE about this like a celebrity-maniac teen girl. I'm just glad the motherfucker is going to jail.

Please, don't give this another minute, second of thought. He was convicted of something that he did, whether or not that should have happened before is irrelevant. He is nothing than a convicted felon now, his charm and charisma, his celebrity is the only reason we know anything about him. I could care less and we as a society should care even less than that. Let's focus world on important things, the economy, education, poverty, the weather, Katrina victims.....Please let clebrities lives be thier own, positive or negative and think about our crumbling ice caps or our national disgrace, prop 8. There is news everyday worth attending to, this is not.

Just another case of "what happens in Vega$ stays in Vega$" - OJ is most definitely staying in Vega$.

This is a complete and utter non-story that is at least a decade removed from relevance.

That rich motherfucker will probably get out early though.

Also, thanks to him that bitch/slut/cunt Kim Kardashian is famous. Her dad was his attourney.

Still, I agree that this isn't Current material.

I can hardly believe there were people that thought his initial aquittal was some sort of victory of black rights or a sign of the degradation of racism in the penal system...

You do realize his jail time is going to slow down his search for the real killers, right?

i guess that's what happens when your bud Johnnie Cochran isn't there to save you.

seriusly who cares? he's washed up, i dont understand the fascination with watching celebrities' lives fall apart.

Do they have golf courses in jail?

Please people, this isn't news. This doesn't affect a one of us. If this ends up on Current news, I'll be very disappointed.

I'd like to know how either of these verdicts changed people's lives? How does this affect you?

I was in the Bahamas when I found out that OJ had been arrested on suspicion of murder. I was in high school when they broadcast the verdict and let him off. And now I'm at work in London when he gets 15 years for robbery. Isn't life interesting?

KARMA, bitch!!!!!!!!!!!
