Former actor? I heard he also played a little football as well…
The guy is a murderer. He deserved much more. Karma is a bitch. What an idiot.
Goobye O.J.
Good riddance!
I guess karma does exist.
Proof:
Look Out!
Brett
So happy to see it!
Does this mean he won’t be able to vote on the SAG strike authorization?
To Why Bother…
Thank you, thank you, thank you! On such a shitty news day, your post made me laugh out loud!
OJ is still looking for the real culprits behind the AMPTP’s best, final offer…
Now he will have the opportunity to continue his search
for the real killer of Nicole and Ron, having diligently pursed him over every golf course in the country. Good hunting, O.J.
Has nothing to do with L.A. justice.
Karma is a wonderfull thing
bye bye oj
this a sad day for ameracan justice
it proves that a informer who helps in a crime can get of the hook, if he testfys,
sad sad a great man like that has hit the garbage bin over a rat .
if the cas was so good in the la killings ,
why don’t we hear more about the gloves
a simple man like me would ask , where is the D N A from inside of the gloves, i never heard a word about
i guess old man goldman will have a stroke if he wins on appeal ,, sad sad a great man like that who could of done so much good for the youth of america ,, banjo
Let loose da juice
Yes , he was guilty of the LA murders,. Yes he did get screwed in Nevada and yes Stewart was simply collateral damage
Correction…
Let’s add it up again.
Using only the largest of the concurrent sentences and all the consecutive sentences, it looks like O.J. got…
33 years total, eligible for parole in 9.
Of the 12 various charges, 2 of which were withdrawn prior to sentencing, that’s…
Charge 05 – Concurrent, 15, parole eligible in 5 (This is the largest concurrent sentence.) Plus the following for the same charge…
Consecutive, 6, parole eligible in 1
Charge 09 – Consecutive, 6, parole eligible in 1-1/2
Charge 10 – Consecutive, 6, parole eligible in 1-1/2
This is significant time.
Bail was denied.
Now all we have to do is wait for the appeal to see what sticks.
All you people saying he deserves it are great examples of morons. 15 for robbery is an injustice. Judge Jackie Glass is just a big bitch!
O.J. Simpson is a malignant narcissist. Look up the definition. The Goldman and Brown families are breathing much easier today and so am I. I hope he get what he gave to Ron and Nicole in prison.
This is not justice. He should not have gotten off in LA, but at the same time, he should not be held under undue scrutiny elsewhere. Like it or not, he was acquitted. If we continue to try him for the same charge under different names then we have all given up a key part of what it means to be American.
Most people who had managed to get away with murder would have had the intelligence to keep their snout clean.
OJ clearly couldn’t do that. Instead, he’s been in trouble with the law ever since. What a douchebag.
Karma’s a bitch.
O.J. is a bastard and deserves what he got!He pushed his luck too far.
It’s a good thing that there is law and justice in states other than L.A.
I hope he stays behind bars for the full 33 years!
Maybe somebody inside will fix his clock and gets rid of him for good!
Nicole and Ron must be laughing their heads off in heaven!
This fucker gets what he deserves. But the frustrating part, like is the case with so many twisted criminal minds, is he doesn’t believe he is guilty. And he never will believe that about himself.
I have personally known master manipulators and twisted minds like Simpson — the criminal type. The fact is about these people is that they are so good about rationalizing everything that their twisted minds convince themselves of non-truths. Therefore, they CANNOT be rehabilitated because they will ALWAYS believe THEY are the victims — not the other way around. This is what makes them so dangerous. If you understand this, then it all makes more sense.
Nikki,
Are you trying to fit O.J. into the genre of your website by saying he was an actor? Dude-O.J. was NEVER an actor. Kato Kaelin has more of the acting chops in his pinky finger than O.J. ever had.
The only double feature O.J. ever starred in was the two murders of wife and Ron Goldman.
Don’t diss legit actors with that statement.
The only thing I want to know about O.J. is how many nighmares of that night woke him up in a cold sweat. I hope he gets awarded in prison by a big horny m-f…er.
oj will be back
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the whiners who have griped about O.J. like babies the last 15 years are happy now that they finally got a cookie.
Will they shut up? Of course not, because this wasn’t an alleged robbery he was convicted of, it was double murder.
And will predictably be overturned on appeal. All the people celebrating now will get is the warm glow of knowing that O.J. got railroaded for SOMETHING. And when he gets the ruling reduced/thrown out we’ll hear these same people screaming “Celebrity Justice!”
Jesus, folks. Grow up and move on already!
