He got 15 years but, if I heard correctly, the sentencing for the last three charges were set to serve consecutively, not concurrently. Ta ta killa!

Sounds like 9 years before parole eligibility. That will put him at 70 years old.

Even if it was 15 concurrent, he would likely spend the rest of his days behind bars.....

I don't get the riot joke. The riot was started in LA after the Rodney King verdicts. I think we are confusing our messed up LA juries.....

the lesson here for celebrities: if you want to break the law, do it in LA.

Nah, we just want to riot after a verdict. It's our right to do so.

The verdict went your (our) way. Why riot?

I didn't know you were a Terp Alum!!!!!

I agree with the way they think. I prefer to riot joyfully. I think angry riots are misguided.

I heard on the radio 5 years until he is eligible for parole.

It'll be closer to 9-10 years.

CNN says 9 years before he's eligible.

Is nine years normal for armed robbery?

And kidnapping, yes.

He's probably going to do 15-20 years at the end of the day. His absolute maximum is 33 years.

Fair enough then. I was interested to see if he got more than normal with his past case.

OK, Dave and I just got back from the Riot. 3 people showed up. Dave and myself and some homeless guy we tossed a buck. We tried throwing a chair into the Capital City Brewing window and it bounced off. So went inside and paid for our beers...but we did so with no smiles.

I hope you all at least left a crappy tip and maybe threw a cigarette butt on the floor.

So the question is did he get convicted of this or did the jury take his past into account in convicting him? I think there were lowlifes in that hotel room in Vegas and no one was really innocent.

By definition then, everyone was guilty.

Agree with the lowlife part of that. Seems like everyone in that room was tainted with something. I saw a lawyer on TV tonight saying that O.J.'s lawyers were crazy not to work out a plea agreement.

OJ was probably set up to some extent, but what he did in that hotel room fit the definition of the crimes he was convicted of. His friends brought guns(and OJ knew about it), and they detained people illegally in the commission of a felony(robbery of property). As I think I said before: ironically, OJ got off from murder charges by claiming set up, and he's going to jail probably because his "friends" set him up lol.

OJ in more trouble....

A key witness in O.J. Simpson's Las Vegas trial acknowledged to a Nevada investigator that the former NFL star paid him off, the investigator told a judge in Santa Monica this morning.

The investigator from the Clark County district attorney's office said Alfred Beardsley admitted that Simpson gave him his Hall of Fame ring in exchange for altering his testimony to help the defense.

"I asked what did you get to change your testimony," said Bill Falkner, who worked with prosecutors building the armed robbery and kidnapping case against Simpson.

The answer, he said, was the Hall of Fame ring.

What does this mean? Can sentencing be changed without a retrial?

Anyway, I hope that HOF ring ends up on the street. Somehow, I find it appropriate that it ends up in the gutter.

Tampering with a witness is a felony, which would mean a whole new trial on new charges if there's enough proof for a trial.

Because its a felony and someone tried to pervert justice.

The person was found guilty and sentenced on all charges. Why bother? What's to gain?

It reads like the investigator asked the question in a flippant manner, "What did you get for changing your testimony?" I hope they have a tape of this exchange. But still, I don't know if it's worth the resources of Nevada to pursue this, unless there's a great deal of hostility towards the shady memorabilia underground.

Even if OJ was Joe Blow Nobody, he tried to corrupt the system(allegedly). That always has to be prosecuted. This is not part of his original charge sheet, but something new. Just because he's going to jail anyways doesn't mean he should get a pass.

considering he was clearly playing with "house money" in that he should have been already serving double life sentences for murder, he has nothing to claim about being set up in this case. he should have remained squeaky clean, but as inthe case of most sociopaths, OJ obviously believes he was granted a different set of laws to live under.

sucks to be him

I came across some crime scene photos of Nicole and Ron a couple of years ago on the internet. So I agree with you. I sorta hope he dies behind bars for what he did.

Deter people from doing the same thing in the future, theoretically.

yup.. even though each crime is separate, it is hard to begin to even feel sorry at all for OJ-- even if he were truly innocent this time around... he should never have been walking the streets anyway

gives you some kind of window into his mind that he could even consider any kind of criminal activity, after the murders
