Simpson guilty on all charges in robbery trial   

Can you believe this guy? I thought he wasn't going to sleep until he found his wife's killer?! Hmm. The guy sure has a record doesn't he. When I read your post I had this thought about the happenings in some cities when the whole trial thing was going on. People beaten, cars destroyed and buildings burned. Someone had mentioned to me the other day: could the same thing happen is Obama is not elected? I thought it was an odd thing to say. As far as OJ is concerned, I think some time behind bars will do him some good.

No doubt Simpson deserves the life he has. When he was acquitted of murder I thought the worst of America's justice system. Now that he has been convicted of robbery, I don't really care anymore. He has become irrelevant.

Simpson's previous encounters with the legal system will not affect his sentencing in terms of longer jail time. The USA legal system is very fair. The sentencing judge will bend over backwards to not appear to be too harsh.

I really think his past wil make his stay longer. Cant help to think that as so many people think he should be there now any how.

The longest sentence he could get would be life in prison. However I believe that if it was Joe Schmo on the street, that person would not get life. So I think they will not give him life just so they can say they weren't influenced by the former accusations against him. I would welcome him serving a life term. I think by now everyone no matter what race, believes he is a cold blooded murderer. And if they don't, well if they don't, maybe they are the ones who helped come up with the 'hotline' O.J set up when the murder happened, so 'tips' could be taken to find the real killer. He must have felt such great relief knowing that the money he offered to find the killer would never be claimed.

I would hope that the sentence be based on the present offense, since that is the way the law is supposed to work. Frankly, I have my doubts about his innocence from murder and am glad he got caught with this crime. But I don't think the former charges, for which he was acquitted, should be considered in the present sentence.

Evidence about the acquittal could develop evidence of his personality and his tendency to take what he wants because or his sense of entitlement. That could influence the sentence.

If you keep knocking on the devils door, he answers it. What goes arround comes arround....his choices in life are catching up with him.He still has the judge to face yet, the judge in heaven and that sentence, he wont be able to con his way out of!

In honesty, I don't think this was a trial aobut a robbery at all...it was a vengence trial based on what ppl think he did in the past. I think this b/c out of 500 jurors, 250 were automatically disqualified b/c they believed he was guilty of the murders. I believe this b/c more than one of the juror's on this case stated after the trial that they "finally got justice". I also believe this b/c even the police, before OJ ever got to the police station, were crowing about how they mananged to finally get him after all these years.

I don't know if he killed his wife and her friend all those years ago...I wasn't there. I don't know if he was guilty of this crime or not...I wasn't there either. But I do think even if he wasn't guilty of this crime they still would have convicted him b/c of what they think he did back then.

it's an embarrassment that he was acquitted of murder. but karma gets him. still, he had all those years free when he should have been rotting in a cell. disgusting.

thank goodness he's in jail now.
