NEWS: OJ SIMPSON SENTENCED TO AT LEAST 15 YEARS
Friday, December 5, 2008

OJ Simpson speaks in court prior to his sentencing at the Clark County Regional Justice Center Friday, December 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when the Judge sentenced him to at least 15 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery.
Simpson and co-defendant Clarence ‘C.J.’ Stewart were sentenced on 12 charges, including felony kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy related to a 2007 confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel.
The judge said several times that her sentence in the Las Vegas case had nothing to do with Simpson’s 1994 acquittal in the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. And she rejected his apology stating, “It was much more than stupidity.”

Wow I thought he’d receive a much lengthier sentence than this one they’ve dished out.
He should have gone down the first time for what he did…with that said the MAN has been trying to bring OJ down for absolutely years now. I believe this was all a conspiracy to catch him for something the police could have easily stitched up, just to incarcerate another black man.
When will they ever learn??

People need to realize you just can’t go around committing crimes & think that it’s okay…even if you are a celebrity.

That’s just so damn sad. You would think he would learn from his mistakes. SMH! He’s 61 and is sentenced to at least 15? man what a shame to spend the rest of you life like this. Such a shame. Should’ve thought before he did what he did.

hmmmm….no one can tell me his prior case did not play a role in thism i’m sorry. He had an all white jury too! oh no!!! I don’t understand why he didn’t have some of “us” up there? Maybe they are saving it for the appeal, who knows. I don’t know how to feel about this? 15years???? some rapist get out in 4 and 5 years but yet…I digress
OJ really did this to himself…he shoulda stay his behind in Florida and played golf….all he had to do is sit down…but noooo….he had to go commit a crime.

Damned if the sentence has nothing to do with the murders! That’s a drastic sentence for a robbery where nothing was stolen and no one was harmed. There are rapists, child molestors and murderers that walk out of jail in less than 3-5 years.
On the other hand, O.J. brought this on himself. Since he didn’t have enough sense to sit his ass down someplace and keep a low profile or leave the country while he had the chance I guess he’ll just have to spend a decade behind bars.
He should have known they were gonna hang his ass for J Walking, let alone robbery.

I’m not saying it was right that they acquitted him in 95, but for those police, judges, etc they probably think he’s finally been caught for murdering Nicole and Ron. If they wanted to find him guilty then, they should have just done it then. The courts look like a bunch of hypocrites now.
I bet much of these charges were fabricated/exaggerated.
And why weren’t the police charged with beating Rodney King or MURDERING Sean Bell?? Corrupt and racist to the bone.
Yeah OJ is scum for what he did, but this armed robbery verdict is a load shit since those sentencing him “consider” it as punishment finally for the murders.

I don’t really care if O.J. is going to jail, but justice needs to be equal for allll!!! Nobody was complaining that Bareetta is walking free after murding his wife and that crazy wig wearing Spector dude shot and killed his girlfriend. White people been waiting for this day since O.J. was found innocent in his murder trial (I still think he did it or knows who did it) But he was found innocent. Rich murdering white folk been getting away with crimes forever!! But ain’t nobody holding 20 year grudges.

MISTRIAL If he has any money left he needs to put it into an appeal … maybe he can be re-tried in a small non english speaking country where they have never heard of OJ… Hopefully his wonderful snow white friends who he was always with when he was not in trouble will help him out now … (I doubt it though not a very loyal set of people)… Oh well I think Lauryn Hill said it best .. “they hail you then nail you no matter who you are”… And no I’m not finding soalce in the whole we “Barack’d the vote” thing there are still serious race issues in America!

The mere fact that the Judge brought up his prior case is evidence that what happen in 1994 played a BIG role in the verdict and sentencing.
This justice system is so fukked. O.J. is a big dummy, but still, 15 years and no one was murdered and nothing was stolen…….SMH

And one of the first thing I heard mentioned was that now that Barrack is president, the country has shown that we are all equal……..please dont believe the hype. They still look down on us

oh well…. He should have laid low for 20 years… did some community work and should some love to the kids… although OJ was gangster going in there to get his stuff…lol… He was set up though so there was no way he was getting off they had the trial for all his transgressions in 1994 when he got off it was just a matter of going thru the motions this time. I’m sure he missed Cochran…

I have mixed feelings about this case.
I saw OJ simpson not too long ago on a show called “Inside American Jail” on Tru TV. He had been arrested for something. As he walked through the cell he shouted, “I’m back” because it was his second time there. Therefore, I think someone who keeps messing up needs to stay in jail. You can’t really stick up for someone who stay in trouble.
However, I also feel that what happened 14 years ago had a little to do with this case. If the police/system know that you’re a criminal, but they can’t proove you’re guilty, they try to find other things they can convict you of. Yes, it was OJ’s fault, but ‘everything’ he did that day was filmed on camera and his phone call was audio taped.

White people never quit. What I don’t get is the message attempted to convey. At the end of the day, white females are still clueless, spiritually bereft whores that will jock a cold murderer for the d*ck. White boys will still remain spineless, insecure cowards that fear black men at the core of their being. And real black people still will never give two f*cks about OJ.
Corny ass genetic haters.

OJ What the hell were you thinking. You don’t go to get your own property, you send someone to get your stuff.
I don’t believe that Judge for one minute when she said several times that she is not sentencing OJ based on his past. This is outright payback for his past.
AND WHY IN THE HELL WERE THE GOLDMAN’S THERE? THIS CASE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. GOLDMAN STATED “I’M GLAD THIS SOB IS GOING TO JAIL”.
When you finish your time in 5 years, keep out of the spotlight, do like Michael Jackson did, you rarely see him.

I just wish this man would go away (wherever) and just never be seen again.
He is such a sadistic, twisted individual. Too many knocks in the head playing football, I guess.
He had so much influence and just blew it all. If that’s not mental illness, I don’t know what is.

Nah. I think he’s going to jail for a minute but he will be out though.
I got a gutt feeling, hes not staying in jail for that long even if he does have to pay off the judge or something. lol
But nonetheless his ass should have stop and think twice about doing that dumb shyt. If you got off the first time Y would u go back and do something again! U shoulda kept your ass in hiding. STOOOPID.

I’m sorry but I just do not believe that his previous trail in 1994 had NO THOUGHT whatsoever. I mean I think about it! We all do! It’s a little tiny thought in the back of our minds whenever we think about OJ. We think Killer, then Football! It’s like saying we don’t think White Girl then Basketball when it comes to Kobe. Not saying we are judging because I do believe one sin is no greater than another. But let’s be real… School teachers having sex with the kids in their classroom are getting PROBATION!!! I’ma pray for him, I really am. And pray for his children! Lord knows the pain and hulimation they must feel… A Mother Lost and a Father Gone!

How do any of u know if he murdered anyone or not? half of you know someone that have done worse and want turn them in. They know that’s to harsh of a sentence for that old man. Know dayum well that white judge was judging him from the past…………..but I must say O.J., u mess with them white women, you’ll always get burnt.

Never did shit in the hood or nothing. But as soon as his ass kills two people. Now he’s Black again and a active member of the NAACP???
