However,it may be 9 years after all.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- A Las Vegas judge sentenced fallen gridiron great O.J. Simpson to at least 15 years in prison for leading an armed confrontation last year at a Las Vegas hotel room over sports memorabilia.

O.J. Simpson was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison today, with the possibility of release after nine years, for his role in an armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers inside a Las Vegas hotel room.

Judge Jackie Glass gave Simpson a tongue-lashing before passing sentence.

"Earlier in this case, at a bail hearing, I said to Mr. Simpson I didn't know if he was arrogant, ignorant or both," Glass said. "During the trial and through this proceeding I got the answer, and it was both."

She stressed that the sentence was not "payback for anything else," apparently referring to Simpson's acquittal 13 years ago in the slayings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

I'm sickened. 15? Should've gotten life IMO.

But heck, I also think he should've been put to death 13 years ago so I might be a tad bias.

Hear and see Simpsons Apology to the Judge. Despite all of what O.J said at the court,he was nor spared prison time (I was also for life in prison).

The amount of time he is going to serve in jail is somewhat confusing.

BUH -BYE!!!

I feel sorry for his two children.

Same, having to hear that his father is a murderer is something no kid should have to deal with.

On a side note, I do feel for his two children. Their mother got murdered. On the other hand, good riddance to OJ Simpson. Send him off to Sheriff Joe's jails. It seems like this year a lot of scoundrels have crashed like Lori Drew and OJ Simpson, and soon perhaps Casey Anthony and Fred Phelps.

I just heard his little speech.















Very touching you murderer.

He doesn't deserve to have his life back anyway. If anyone should get their lives back it's the families of the people he MURDERED.

I hope they keep him in general population, and his cellmates beat him to a pulp 3 times a day.

anything he gets is too short.
By the time he is eligible for parole, he will be 70!

Karma always gets ya in the end.

O.J. = Spam

I know he's sick, and doesn't view the world as most normal people do. But try as I might, I can't feel any compassion for this man. For all those who have mistakenly idolized him, and for those abusive types who have been inspired to inflict harm by his "not guilty" of murder verdict, and their victims, I'm relieved he is finally being justly punished for at least one of his actions.

Well said!!!

Best thing that could happen to him is he get released when hes 70 and spend his remaining days living on the streets as a homeless beggar.

I guess the "Juice" is no longer loose......good riddance!!!

There's only one problem here. He isn't guilty.


Famous Texan private detective Bill Dear was quietly investigating this case in the background and came up with some explosive evidence. OJ didn't kill Nicole and Ron Goldman his son Jason did.

Jason was a chef and was going to cook for OJ and the family at the 'Jackson' restaurant that evening after the recital OJ attended where his daughter performed. Jason contacted Nicole to find out what they might like to eat and she canceled saying the restaurant was too far across town and with the recital and everything the kids would be restless. Jason was from OJ's first marriage and took it personally. He saw it as a message of sorts of where he fit in or didn't fit in with the LA family. Jason got off work early and headed over to Nicole's where he confronted her. An argument must have ensued where Jason snapped.

At this point you have to know that Jason had serious anger management issues and had a record of violence towards girlfriends and other rage problems. A quick look at his background would show him to be a much better candidate for violence than OJ. He was also trained in hand to hand knife combat in the Navy. Jason was on anti-rage medication up until a week before the murder. He had told his girlfriend he stopped taking the medication because it made him sick.

Bill Dear provides a large body of evidence I'll spare you of here. We'll get right to the chase. A black watchcap was found next to Ron Goldman's body that OJ's lawyers showed-off in court as obviously not fitting OJ. They were right - it didn't fit him. It was Jason's. Before moving to Miami to be closer to his father Jason put a box of personal belongings in a storage facility in Los Angeles. He didn't pay the bill so it was auctioned off. Dear had been tracking Jason so he managed to purchase the box after the original buyer tipped him off. Inside were several photos of Jason wearing an identical black watchcap. The photos were time-stamped. Jason is seen in the cap up to the date of the murder. All subsequent pictures of him wearing a watchcap after the date of the murder show him in another gray watchcap. Nowhere after the date of the murder is Jason seen wearing a black watchcap. The box also contained a knife.


Jason lost it and hit Nicole with the knife handle butt. The evidence shows this wound. She was partially knocked-out when Ron Goldman had the bad luck of showing up and confronting Jason. This only further enraged Jason because, while already in rage mode, he now saw Goldman as the reason Nicole didn't show up. Afterwards, Dear thinks Jason realized what he had done and called OJ and OJ sped down to the scene. The reason OJ was tainted with so much evidence was because he was there. Only later after the killing was done. He saw the horror and dropped his glove. OJ was caught in a dilemma because he knew his disturbed son had done the murders but couldn't be witness against him. The rest you already know...


Dear brought his evidence to the LA District Attorney and they told him the case was closed.

I'm with the Nevada Judge.
It's not justice for anything but his latest stupidity.
Again, I feel karma will take care of everything in the end of it all.

Sanibel, that's fascinating, but as to this sentence, irrelevant.
No matter how you look at it, OJ is a criminal and arrogant.

Tron:


Your logic is confusing me. You sort of admit OJ might be totally innocent of the Kidman Goldman murders yet you somehow refer to some kind of overhanging "karma" being due OJ. If he's innocent then what "karma" would he be due? Isn't making a statement that suggests OJ, innocent or not, is due some kind of ill-defined karma because he's a bad person the very definition of that extra-legal bias?


I can show you cases where new "stand your ground" laws were used to allow people to get away with shooting people under the premise of protecting property - and under much weaker circumstances. If OJ was trying to get stolen property back how could he be "arrogant" and "criminal"? 33 years? Also, I think there's possible cause to believe OJ was set-up in Las Vegas. And if the LA DA has evidence of the real murderer and refuses to see it how does that relate to the fairness by which legal authorities treat OJ in general?


Forgive me if I don't believe that Nevada judge.

sanibel, if he was "innocent" of the murder of his ex-wife and Mr. Goldman, it is likely he participated in the cover-up of real evidence.
He has not been a good man. He was abusive and has been less than upright in his recent dealings.
That is where a harsh sentence for misdeeds all around may be the balance of Karma.

Forgive me if I might seem impertinent Tron, but you might want to look up something in America called "laws" and "rights" and legal procedure. While I also believe in karma, and agree OJ committed accessory after the fact, there are mitigating factors. Again, with all due respect, I think you are proving my point for me. No offense intended.

In my mind if one is strictly critical of OJ "covering-up" and concealing evidence then one must consider the DNA evidence that had to be on the watchcap and how the Los Angeles District Attorney must have known it wasn't OJ's. The sword cuts both ways, especially here in America, and one has to then be suspicious of why the LA DA's office refuses to look in to Dear's evidence. Is the LA DA's office also "bad people" because they might have a conflict of interest that shows THEY hid evidence?

The way the law works in America is if OJ is guilty of accessory after the fact then he needs to be tried on it and specifically charged with it. Otherwise you are providing the very definition of extra-legal bias in your statement and calling it "karma".
