OJ's about to get his...

He just gave an Oscar worthy performance, throwing himself on the mercy of the court...

he damn sure did, but his appeal will be filed this pm after the hearing, and I have seen some good issues.

what a DA his accomplice (stewart? the one that was asked to participate) atty was for ticking off the things the judge did wrong beforre starting his spiel. that wasn't necessary to preserve a record for appeal and will just serve to piss off the judge.

I couldn't make heads of tails of the sentencing because the judge kept citing minimums and maximums and I never figured out when they ended up with.

I just know that he'll be in jail for a while...

He said he was sorry. He didn't mean to steal anything from anybody . . . .

Fifteen years..."In no way did I mean to hurt anybody, to steal anything from anybody," the former NFL star said. "I just wanted my personal things."

Why do they do that though? I mean, you hope that the judge is a bigger man and will not consider it if you ever go in front of him again but we both know that it is very likely to bite you in the butt someday. Look, if you are an uneducated bum that can't even spell your own name, yeah, sure. I'll give you a pass. OTOH, if you are somewhat educated or have legal counsel present, won't you realize in the back of your mind that I might wait my time to stick the knife in you and twist?

Armed robbery and kidnapping convictions should get him maximum.

Prior to sentencing, Simpson pleaded for leniency from the judge with a trembling voice and tears in his eyes.

"I didn't mean to hurt anybody and I didn't mean to steal from anybody," said the former Buffalo Bills player.

"I did not know that I was doing anything illegal... I thought that I was confronting friends and retrieving my property. So I am sorry. I am sorry for all of it."


Is that the new OJ defense? I didn't know? OMG!!! I didn't know that I couldn't kill this guy because he pissed me off.

Consider his frame of reference. He got away with a double murder. If that was ok, how can anyone fault him for armed robbery and kidnapping.

He's 61 years old. Considering a minimum of 9 years out of the 15 he'll be 70 when he gets out. If he does.

Well, gee, I usually do everything I can do to win, including thinking the worst about people like they could be subject to get pissed off over something they shouldn't, so I don't get let down (heard that anywhere before?).

And the Judge is a woman.
