I'm sure there's a criminal or two in prison that always wanted to date a sports hero.

Here comes OJ boys. < :-)

I think the question of ownership is a mitigating factor here. I have never had it demonstrated clearly who actually owns the stuff OJ was trying to get. This whole incident might have been avoided had the authorities resolved this sooner. There is no excuse for armed robbery, but the authorities should also not be taken off the hook for setting up the sitation where people feel forced to take the law into their own hands. Is that what happened here? I do not know.

Las Vegas has the reputation of having some of the toughest police and laws. The courts in Nevada are infamous for giving tough sentences. With the gambling, alcohol, and other recreation activities they have to be. OJ was convicted on some serious charges here. Nevada sends a clear message in any case, come here and have fun, but break the law and we will lower the boom. If they didn't tourism would suffer, they took a good lesson from Miami, Atlanta, and DC, when crime got high in those places tourists stopped going there. Las Vegas is not a town to get in trouble.

We can all marvel at the mysterious ways of (American) justice. But one thing is indisputable: Armed robbery is a very serious offense. I personally don't give a hoot whether some call the outcome of this trial 'vendetta justice' and it leaves me wondering what kind of justice was applied in 1994? The man reaped what he sowed and finally finds himself in the place where he belongs. And I am glad it was judge Glass presiding and not judge Everton II.

Would you like some OJ with that bread and water OJ?

This article is very misleading. He was sentenced to 9 yrs to 33 yrs behind bars. If your going to report on something please provide all information.

Moderator: All the information is in the story.

He was framed. By the "real killer."

Money can buy only so much happiness, but freedom is a privilege. Enjoy your time in Prison OJ, armed robbery is a crime for famous and not so famous people.

I hear the Florida Orange Growers Association has offered to pay all of his legal bills and appeals if he agrees to change his name to Ice T Simpson.

The evidence in this case was clear, much of it on recorded audio. This wasn't "vendetta justice".

Wonder if he'll get a last minute pardon or his sentence commuted by dubya.

Female judges give the stiffest sentences. Check out the judges in Texas death row sentences. It's the women who say, "Hang 'em high".

Here is part of the Juice's moronic five-minute plea for leniency: Simpson said. "Mike Gilbert tried to set me up on a porn video - tricked me into a room with hidden cameras...."

Congratulations to Mr. Goldman. Hope the revenge is sweet.
