You can kill someone ( no OJ jokes meant) and get less than that...half kidding, but that's a lot of time for what happened

Imagine if he really didn't kill his wife?? Not that I do, but what if?

ahhhhh...never mind...No one writes a book called "How I did It" unless they are guilty, nuts or both

screw him! He's another guy who had the world by the balls and F'ed it up. He gets away with murder and still finds another away to get in trouble. Let him rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Have no pity for someone who can brutally murder his ex-wife and an innocent bystander while his children are sleeping upstairs.

Hope he stays in for at least ten years. Tho I dont know how much abuse he will take... a man like OJ has to be able to hold his own in a fight. And we already know he has no problem stabbing people.

I have to think he will be in protective custody, in seclusion from other inmates. At least at the beginning. Which is good, because that is by far a worse place to be. 23 hours by himself, then one hour for recreation.

I read somewhere that he has been in Protective Custody since his incarceration and that his co-defendant was in PC and asked to be put back in regular population because he couldn't take the solidarity.

Why am I posting this? I must be a complete idiot but...what the hell!
Did OJ kill his wife and her friend?
Everybody has an opinion but the jury found him not guilty,
Had I been on that jury I would have voted likewise...Mark Furhman (sp?) made it impossible to convict him.
Is he an idiot? His actions since the crime scream "YES"
But...if we incarcerated folks for being idiots....
This latest crime is hardly worth a long sentence...
Our legal system don't state that it's ok to "get even" or balance the scales...
He should have been sentenced solely on the merits of this conviction...
Was he?
Even if he is guilty of murder...he didn't get away with anything...he simply avoided man's law...I believe there is a higher justice.
I also believe that it is better to let a guilty man go free than to punish an innocent man...isn't that a cornerstone of our system?
I find no joy in this....I find the man pathetic, yes...distasteful, but I don't get the vulturistic joy of some...

5 until he is ELIGIBLE for parole. I was watching CNN on lunch and the way they were talking was that he was doing 9-10 guaranteed.

CNN said "Parole is a gift, and ANYTHING you have done can be used against you in a parole hearing"
