OJ Minimum of 6 years in county/state prison

[underpants]

EDIT-I mixed up concurrent and consecutive. So it will be 6 years.

I couldn't keep track of the maximum

The first count was 12 months in county. The rest were in state.
I think that is right-two of the counts (#'s 7 & 8) were to be consecutive meaning that they will be served at the same time

He is currently 61 years old.

1. Justice is finally done.

[godai]

2. Actually, eligible for parole in 7.5 years.

That's adequate for his crimes. This is from True TV.

7. Thanks. I mixed up concurrent and consecutive

OOps

[LiberalFighter]

3. What a dumb ass

[no limit]

5. Seriously

[beaglelover]

4. Actually...

It sounds like it's a max of 15 years, elig. for parole in 5. I think anyway.

[edbermac]

6. Couldn't keep track of the concurrent and consecutive terms.

The major counts of kidnapping and robbery were 15 years minimum.

[thewiseguy]

8. Eligible for parole after 5 years

[closeupready]

10. Which, given his track record, is a dicey bet.

31. That's What I Heard On ESPN Radio

So, we've got conflicting reports. I heard 5 years min. too.

9. why did the other guy get more time ?

[Stinky The Clown]

11. Good judge

[ronnykmarshall]

12. She's great.

Note to Ito ... THAT'S how you run a trial.

16. One thing -

Her sucking on the Slurpee straw was a bit undignified. A glass of water might have looked better.

I've never seen a judge do that, but, hey, it's Nevada.

OJ's in prison until he's 70 years old - at least.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. I liked it.

She should have ripped out a big ass BUUUURRRRRP!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

18. Well, yeah..........

That would have been totally dignified.

She blew it.................

[ronnykmarshall]

25. I missed her blowing her nose.

When did that happen?

I think actually it (shipping her Big Gulp)showed that this judge wasn't playing to the cameras.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

27. She did something that struck me as odd,

but then, anything involving OJ Simpson is going to be odd, I believe.

She made a great point of stating that her sentencing today had absolutely nothing to do with his previous trial, where he was acquitted. I never heard of anything like that before, but, as I said, OJ is strange.

She's a smart judge, tough, too.

13. Was Ron Goldman's father and/or sister there? I hope so.

Those poor people have been through hell. At least seeing his constant smirk
replaced, even momentarily, with disappointment and fear should give them a small (very
small) bit of comfort.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

15. Both of them

His sister was crying.

God, I still feel so sorry for them.

[underpants]

20. They are speaking now...to cat calls from the crowd

amazingly rude from the crowd

[hisownpetard]

29. Whaaat?? Catcalls from the crowd - *against* them? You've gotta be kidding!

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Yes, they were. Sad images of them.

Here's link to court sentence video:

14. He'll have to serve

nine years before he's even eligible for parole.

He got off lucky.

He'll be 70 years old before he's up for parole.

His personal statement was offensive on so many levels. The weasel wouldn't take the stand during his trial, where he'd have been subject to cross-examination, but he tried to testify about what a great guy he was in his statement. Weasel. Coward. Scum.

Good judge, good sentence.

[rollin74]

19. sounds like 9 years minimum nt

[underpants]

21. That is what MSNBC said yes

[Freddie Stubbs]

23. "Former running back to become former tight end"

That headline is courtesy of the folks over at fark.com

[Tangerine LaBamba]

28. I love you for this

No, really. I do.

[nichomachus]

24. And another story says a minimum of 15

LAS VEGAS — A broken O.J. Simpson has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel armed robbery by a judge who rejected his apology and said, "It was much more than stupidity."

[dysfunctional press]

26. he'll probably be treated as royalty in prison by many of the other inmates....

although his golf game is probably going to suffer.

[WI_DEM]

30. maybe in prison he'll get some tips so he can find the "real killers"

The last decade of pursuing the "real killers" on golf courses across the USA hasn't really been too successful.
