O.J. Simpson has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison! Wow! Karma or “payback” is a bitch huh? Many of us that felt O.J. Simpson got away with murder (literally) for Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman’s deaths and may feel justice has been served finally. Read more on O.J. Simpson’s sentencing below.
Former football star O.J. Simpson has just been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison for the messed up attempt to recover sports mementos and personal items from two collectibles peddlers. The Las Vegas robbery will cost Simpson many years behind bars, but with a chance for parole in six years.

Las Vegas Judge Jackie Glass did not seem to accept O.J.’s apology Friday and said, “It was much more than stupidity.”
Simpson stood there very serious as the judge read the sentencing after O.J. had pleaded with her that he didn’t mean to steal from anybody when he tried to retrieve memorabilia.
O.J. was very shaken and seemed about to break down into tears as he apologized to the judge saying he was “sorry and confused” before going into a rambling and emotional 5-minute declaration.
Judge Glass had already ruled before sentencing that O.J. Simpson cannot be freed on bail pending possible appeal.
In earlier proceedings, neither Simpson, who was acquitted of the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles, nor his co-defendant and former golfing buddy, Clarence “C.J. Stewart, testified at trial. They were convicted Oct. 3 of 12 criminal charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery.
So what do you think of O.J.’s sentencing?

It took some time but finally he’s there, folks!!
I feel so sorry for OJ. I think he is under a lot of stress which might be why he has gotten himself in so much trouble. Maybe if we pray for him instead of criticize him, he might turn his life around. Although, with today’s sentencing, he will be forced to reevaluate his life and move forward.
As far as him killing his ex-wife and Ron Goldman, I am still not convinced he did this all by himself. I think he knows how these murders went down and he will have to live with that. OJ, please get your act together!
It took some time, yes, and he probably got what he deserved. It’s just a sad day for all who are involved with OJ.
