A Double Murderer Will Not Walk The Streets Soon

13 years too late, but its still nice to know.

Five years to parole eligibility sucks though.

[Chalupa]

15+ years and he has to serve at least 6 years before he becomes eligible for parole. No bail while he appeals.

OJ Simpson jailed for 15 years.

Link didn't work for me.

Here's the Yahoo story.

Actually CNN says 9 years before eligibility. (I posted when the judge finished instead of getting the recap, and it was hard to follow what she had said ...)

I merged this thread with the other OJ thread because people were posting on both today. (This per a suggestion.)

bye bye scumbag

I still haven't seen a definitive statement of OJ's minimum assured sentence. A consensus of 9 years had seemingly developed, but I just saw Yahoo! News come out with 15.

I watched the sentencing live, and the judge's delivery was very confusing, making it highly challenging to calculate the minimum. I didn't take notes, and had no clue.

It sure as hell wasn't like Law & Order.

I don't know why the info is so vague, but the most common term I hear is 9 to 33 years with parole possibility in 6. They should throw away the key and let him rot.

[Aggie87]

It is confusing. From Yahoo's article:

"Glass, a no-nonsense judge known for tough sentences, imposed such a complex series of consecutive and concurrent sentences that even many lawyers watching the case were confused as to how much time Simpson got."

Because of parole, I suspect he'll be out in 9 years.

Aggie87: "Because of parole, I suspect he'll be out in 9 years."

Good, then he can continue his exhaustive search for the real killer.

[papsrus]

Football players generally have had shorter than average lifespans, I believe. He's 61 now. Nine years takes him to 70. The less-than optimal living conditions in prison will likely have a further negative effect on his lifespan. He very well may spend the rest of his days in prison.

why u guys hatin' so much on juice: my philo. is that oj gets 100 free arrests, but on his 101st, well the 01 just is a tad too many...article II of the Constitution states: Any individual involved in the production of more than Two (2) "Naked Gun" movies, is excempt for their first a hundred crimes

[Tjazz]

What I think is a shame, is that after he lucked out with the acquittal.

He could have easily made $33 million selling shit or doing promotion for the Goldmans. He would have been able to be lovalble pre-OJ that everybody knew.

Instead, he choose to be MAD OJ.

[T.D.]

There was a funny story on Yahoo! News today (I didn't read it, just the headline) to the effect that OJ could've gotten less time by copping a plea.
