Nicole’s Revenge

Wow, an Internet source says O.J. Simpson just got 18 years for armed robbery!
Some people just don’t know when to leave well enough alone.

I don’t know how this story can be right. I don’t have a TV in front of me, so I’m not watching video, but no other website says O.J. has been sentenced.
I do not understand this man. What he did to his wife and Ron Goldman was an atrocity. And murdering the mother of your children is an especially evil deed. Somehow, he skated. His attorneys got him a prejudiced jury who would have found him innocent had they been standing three feet away during the murders. And instead of realizing he was one of the luckiest men alive, he continued behaving exactly as he pleased. Now look where he is.
I think of all the people out there who would have taken his kind of success and turned it into something beautiful. And I think of his children, who know exactly what he did.
My sister does criminal law, and she thinks he’ll do two-thirds of the time they give him. In Florida, a major felony buys you six months (overcrowding), but Nevada is probably different.
You have to wonder if this will make him realize he has to change.

See what I get for trusting websites in the former USSR. Or wherever it was. He hadn’t been sentenced when that story came out. It was wrong, but just barely. If the TV pundits are right, O.J. got 16 years. My sister claims it’s 21.
Anyway, he’s going to be away for a good long time.

I guess we can say “The “Juice” ain’t l”oose” no more?”

I’m curious how recently OJ went to church before he murdered Ron & Nicole. I bet it was a long time. And even then, was he there to listen and grow spiritually or was it merely for paying respects to a “hatch, match or dispatch” ceremony by a clergyman.

Since he’s 61 years old, he may end up dying behind bars. 16 years could put him up there, depending on his health.

“Since he’s 61 years old, he may end up dying behind bars. 16 years could put him up there, depending on his health.”
With good behavior, he’ll be out in 9, according to news reports. For what it’s worth, he’s proven to be incapable of good behavior so far; I doubt that his gigantic ego will fit smoothly into prison life.
And of course, we’re jumping the gun somewhat. There will be the inevitable appeals process, although I doubt that will alter things at all.

I know it’s a lot to hope for, but I hope he meets “Bubba” soonest!
