OJ Simpson Sentencing

[Mr.Maduro]

Anyone else watching on ESPN???

[elderboy02]

I am listening to it right now. I am tuned into the Bill Cunningham show on 700WLW and they have the live feed. OJ SUCKS!!! Apple Juice is better :D

[Da Klugs]

Hard to be objective.

I'm betting 8 years.

[kdog]

I'm at work, no TV, WHAT IS HAPPENING???? I hope he finally gets his.

[Mr.Maduro]

I'm at work, no TV, WHAT IS HAPPENING???? I hope he finally gets his.

His lawyers made statements, he made some statements and now the prosecution is making theirs.

The sentence should come any minute....

[Mr.Maduro]

He's done....the judge is making her statements....wow! She's not holding back.

[elderboy02]

He's done....the judge is making her statements....wow! She's not holding back.

She is really not holding back. Go get 'em judge! :bx

[Mr.Maduro]

Looks like 15 years minimum for both....eligible for parole in 5.

[elderboy02]

How does it feel OJ :r

[Mr.Maduro]

Edit... looks like 18 years. Eligible for parole in 5.

[kdog]

I hope he's in the same cell block as my cousin, He'll be squeelin like that guy in Deliverance. Please.

[mrreindeer]

15 years for a double murder. Gets off easy, I say.

No S^&t!! I think they are going to change his name to BJ Simpson when he is in the pen.

[theycallmedan'lboone]

hell, the man won't survive, he's 61 frail and old.

[ahc4353]

Why did they ever do away with public stonings?

[Scottw]

I was stoned in public last week. :ss:ss

[Fumes]

Assuming that OJ behaves himself he'll be getting 20 days credit for "good time" for every month that he serves. If he doesn't make parole when he's eligible and finishes his sentence in prison, he'll only do one-third of the maximum sentence. We have Nevada's overcrowded prison system and no funding for new prisons to thanks for this.

Interesting how the media hasn't really picked up this, at least as far as I've seen. But then I'm at work... no ESPN! On the other hand I do have a nice view of the Clark County Courthouse...

[zmancbr]

hell, the man won't survive, he's 61 frail and old.

I agree... if he makes it the full 15 years I would be shocked... and I just don't see them letting him out on parole after 5... 10 maybe but I still just don't see it...

He should have never done anything stupid again... the first was a free pass and then this... :rolleyes:

[ucla695]

Karma caught up to him. He should be glad that he's been able to roam free for the last 13 or so years.

15 years for a double murder. Gets off easy, I say.

He was acquitted of the double murder.

[Parshooter]

With OJ in jail, who's gonna comb the golf courses looking for Nicole's killer :confused:

[Sr Mike]

He is treated like a king in jail, many of the scumbags love the guy, it will be rather easy time for him.

[Raralith]

I believe in our justice system, and he did get aquited for his first case; this ain't the 30's when jurors were all bribed. But, he got what he deserved for robbing someone, and not allowing them to leave freely. 15 years for that is hard, but Nevada is pretty strick on these.

It's sad but I think I agree.

[ashmaster]

OJ gets up to 33 years......Here a little write-up on Yahoo

pretty good bet, :)

The first 8 counts are concurrent, with a max term of 15 and parole eligibility after five. Count 9 is conseutive to count 8, so assumming he gets parole after 5, tack on another 18 months for count 8 before he's eligible for parole on that count, and count 10 is consecutive to count 9, so tack on another 18 months again.

If my math is right and I heard her correctly, he has to do 8 years minimum before he hits the streets.

Nice guess Dave!

[madurolover]

That was how I had it added also Vic. The consecutives were the nail in his coffin, plus the fact that most people don't make parole their first time up (especially for a violent crime). I see him doing 10 years.

[Da Klugs]

It's like a make-up call in a football or BB game. Not sure how I feel about it in the Justice system but.. feels like some kind of justice.

[acruce]

He was acquitted of the double murder.

This is true. But the evidence in the murder case points to him and only him. I was hoping he would get at least a 30 year sentence that way he would at least serve 10.

[Fumes]

Looks like this works out to a 7.5 to 20 year beef -- the max is based on him serving out his entire sentence in prison and getting the mandatory good time credits. (If he has disciplinary problems the credits can be rescinded.) If he gets credit for working he'll get a couple more years off the max.

Long enough for a hotel room caper. Not long enough for two murders.

[icehog3]

I don't disagree with you one bit. :)

[Don Fernando]

at least the guy has taste, he smokes cigars (and look at the hooters on that chick)

The guy has no taste, smoking or not.
He murdered two people then was so arrogant he thought he could get away with another crime. I hope he rots in jail.

[icehog3]

I gotta disagree on this one, Ferdinand. :2

[Don Fernando]

don't get me wrong Tom, I think he is a prick for what he has done anyway and he got what he deserved (or maybe even too less).

[icehog3]

Gotcha. It is just sad when someone you looked up to as a kid (O.J.) turns out to be such a waste of air.

[Don Fernando]

yeah, the guy had it all, a great career in sport, fame, played in some movies, money and he ends up living and probably dying in jail.

At least he is still living...Ron and Nicole didn't get that option. ;)

[floydpink]

hope he gets raped multiple times by Bubba.
