OJ Simpson: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
O.J. Simpson has been found guilty on all charges in the armed robbery-kidnapping trial.
It was 13 hours of deliberation for the jury after 13 years to the day O.J. Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
O.J. now faces a prison sentence of 15 years to life for gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room more than a year ago.

……..getting an extra harsh sentence for a different crime is NOT justice……..REVENGE IS NOT JUSTICE. Get real.
=================================================
He was not sentenced yet, he was just found guilty. Hopefully he gets the maximum sentence for his new crime. So you think robbing someone at gunpoint doesn’t deserve a harsh sentence????? YOU ARE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GET REAL!!!!

Guilty or not guilty it is really “strange” that it’s 13 years to the day of his acquittal. That and sloppy evidence and most of the witnesses that said OJ was innocent. But feel free to overlook his innocence and cheer on the guilty verdict.
———————————————————————————————
I will feel free to do just that. Exactly like the jurors in his original trial and a large part of the general public felt free to overlook his guilt and cheer the not guilty verdict.
We all know he kill his wife, and I hope that he gets life with out parole. He thought he could get away with this, hahaha I’m so happy!
Finally, justice will be served.
PRAISE THE FREAKING LORD. IT’S ABOUT TIME.
I HOPE HE ROTS IN HIS CELL.
HA!!!
I feel for his kids too, but it was about time. This man is a murderer!

the answer to your question is very easy to explain. the jury for his murder trial was made up of all african americans. there apparently was only one white person on it. these people in their infinite wisdom decided allow oj to walk free. the idiots; this man should have been put on death row.
#51 : So you think robbing someone at gunpoint doesn’t deserve a harsh sentence?????
MY POINT
he should not be getting sentenced in compensation for another crimes verdict
……jurors simply do not want to jail famous people…………that’s all. Robert Blake is ALSO free and Spector got a mistrial. Saying this is a Black and White (racial issue) is wrong. It is simply that the USA looks up to people of power/talent and would prefer not convict or jail them. Even Bush invaded Iraq without any real legal reason…. The USA judicial system does not appear to abide by it’s own laws.
First of all, let’s not forget he killed 2 people, not just his wife. I saw some crime scene pictures and he nearly decapitated them. This was a crime of passion. To the naysayers, get a clue. How can you explain Ron Goldman’s blood in OJ’s Bronco? That alone should have been enough to convict him. I believe his footprints matched as well.
Marcia Clark and that CA kangaroo court blew it. They were incompetent from the start. When they moved the jurisdiction to a predominately black area, that was all she wrote. After the trial, I saw the jurors interviewed and they treated the case as a joke. They were sickening. They could have seen a video of him doing the murders and they still wouldn’t have convicted him. So whoever says he was convicted here because of white jurors, karma is truly a *****.
…………if Brad Pitt killed someone, would he get due process ? Could he receive the electric chair or lethal injection like every normal people could ? I doubt it.
From Wikipedia : “He states that Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said, “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand…she’d still be alive.”"
Good!!! He is getting some long awaited Karma.
Refreshing memoryof others here:
the Black American jury was hand picked by a White woman ,JoEllen Demrtius,who is a brillant jury consultant. Balck Americna , White , etc. some wouldfind himNG and others wouldhave found himG-gulity. Ms. Demritus hand picked those who wouldfindhimNG if OJ had said he did it.
Ron Goldman had just bad luck being at the wrong place, wrong time, being a good samaritian, and got caught up in OJ and Nicole’s bad relationship. God, I wish he would have just left the eyeglassess there and brought the to NBS the next morning.
OJ killed Ron and Nicole by himself ,my op. First Nicole, and then Ron just stumbled in after.
Nicole’s family and friends knew Nicole was being abused. NBS and OJ got finally divorced. I wish they would have told her more so, LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!! OJ and Nic edged each other on for along time. I wish Nic had lef t this man alone.
And that Christine Brody NBS look-a-likegf, is just trash and is sick in the head. I feel sorry for NBS andOJ ’s two kids who were little kids at the time, and just wish Oj had the decency tolet her familyraise those kids. their lives have not been so weet under his rule. Sad.
I would love to see OJ on judgment day. Obviously there were no eye witnesses to the murders. So no one here really knows what happened. Sure we can make deductions, etc. but let us not forget there were NO eyewitnesses.
As far as this trial, a completely different matter, there were eyewitnesses and a taped audio of OJ’s voice. So different story and therefore guilty as charged.
Okay whatever you fools might think, in America you are innocent until PROVEN guilty, O.J was NOT proven guilty yrs ago.
Its so unfair that he is serving 15 yrs because of a ROBBERY when most child molestors & rapists get a lesser charge!!!!
Obviously that all White jury full of idiots are either racist OR trying to get back at him for what they THINK he did 10 yrs ago..OR possibly BOTH.
The American judicial ystem is VERY screwed up & you ppl on here think its funny that somebody that is gonna unfairly spend 15 yrs of their life in Jail?!
WOW you losers have NO morals!!!!!!!
Maybe he will make the prison golf team!
Remember correctly: This trial (and verdict) has nothing to do with his past.
By the many revengeful sounding responses, we can surmise, not a one of you sat on his jury.
I trust our judicial system, and presiding Judge, delivers the appropriate sentence to Mr Simpson.
you know what it was ? those trophies bugged him….. they symbolised his lost credibility, his lost achievement, his lost respect in the eyes of the world…… he wanted them back because to him they represented freedom from the misery of being branded a murderer instead of the “hero”. That is why he risked everything to get it back IMO. So it’s 15 years for this silly argument and yet he gets freedom for murder….and everyone says that is ok ?????

Let’s tell the truth people, regardless if you think OJ was guilty of the murders of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman 13 years ago, he was ACQUITTED! This translates to NOT GUILTY. Secondly, the Civil trial was a farce because it goes against the clause in the constitution regarding double jeopardy! So…he hid his property, you would too if you felt like you were getting railroaded. Practicing CYA (Cover your ASS) is a natural human reaction.
Now with trial number two…He was indeed found guilty, but I guarantee you that if he doesn’t win on appeal he will do MINIMAL time. It’s not justice to punish an individual for crimes for which an individual was found NOT GUILTY. That’s called REVENGE. Since I don’t know of one instance in the US where committing armed robery without being paired with malicious wounding or murder in the commission of… equals a life sentence; he will probably get minimal time and concurrent running sentences. Besides the prosecution was “piling on” because the prosecutor wanted to make a name for himself as the guy who brought OJ down. Hence the addition of a record thirteen charges. Obviously “throwing the book” at OJ. So the judge has to mitigate all of this because her reputation and decisions as a jurist will be reviewed due to the notoriety of this case.
Bottom line, punish the individual for what they are found guilty of and nothing more. Or has everyone forgot that we also have Constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment?
All of the lawyers and associates (AIDERS AND ABETTORS) of OJ “MURDERER” Simpson need to be held accountable, charged and punished as well. For example, it has recently been revealed that OJ was told NOT to take his arthritis medication so that his hands would SWELL UP, thus rendering his gloves to be TOO SMALL…etc., etc., ETC!…The scum-bag’s lawyer-jerks may have bamboozled the justice system then, but to hide OJ’s valuable possessions after he was found GUILTY of Ron Goldman’s wrongful death, denying the Goldman family from recieving any of their monetary award is WRONG! ALL book proceeds need to go to the Goldmans as well. HEY, OJ: how’s “the search for the murderer” - like you said that you would do - going?! This latest news that OJ “MURDERER who thought he was above the law” Simpson has been found GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES is the best news I have heard in 13 years…*********** YOU SCUM-BAG MURDERER!!!
He was convicted of robbery AND kidnapping. You say that the all white jury were idiots, but what about the racist all black jury that let him go for murdering two people? He should have been in jail for the past 13 years. You make me sick, you hypocritical fool.
Firstly, the OJ Simpson saga is as divided along racial lines as it always has been. Just looking at these posts, you can pretty much determine by the replies the race of the poster…no further comment in that regard.
Regarding Sydney and Justin Simpson, they have lived the better part of their lives without their mother and in the care of a father who has not been the best role model, to say the least. His videoed”lap dance” escapades, road rage, continued physical abuse in a relationship, etc. have, I’m sure, been tumultous for them. I recall years ago Sydney Simpson’s 911 call to police about her father who “doesn’t care for any of his children”. Growing up as the children of OJ Simpson has, I’m sure, not been easy. But they are not “children” anymore and are, in fact, young adults hopefully ready to move on with their lives and not needing their Dad’s “love” and attention as much. In that regard, I wish them well.
#71- regardless- just because he was acquitted- does not mean he is/was NOT guilty. The court systems are not perfect.
The facts are/were too strong and finally he gets what he deserves ..and off the streets! He is scum and is accountable for all the bad things he’s done and he knows it.
