On Friday, Hall of Fame running back/murderer O.J. Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges that could land him in jail for the rest of his life.
Last year, Simpson slashed his way into the headlines for his role in gathering up five men and leading an assault on a Las Vegas hotel room where they seized several pieces of memorabilia that Simpson claimed was stolen from him.
Prosecutors say that two of the men were armed with guns (not knives capable of decapitating a woman and a man). Simpson showed little emotion as he was handcuffed and escorted from the courtroom after the verdict was read. It was almost as though Simpson had been desensitized by some brutal, blood and utterly macabre spectacle at some point in his past.
Per the Associated Press, "Simpson said he felt melancholy and that he was 'afraid that I won't get to go to my kids' college graduations after I managed to get them through college'... even after I had decapitated their mother... I mean, cut her throat... I mean, tried to find a murderer while golfing... God damn it!"
While the Associated Press is only willing to recognize the first half of that quote, many analysts believe that it much funnier to go with that entire quote.
As for Simpson's charges, kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a mandatory sentence of at least two years behind bars, and could bring as much as 30. Which, if Simpson were still an active player in the NFL would all be reduced to probation and a three game suspension.
In closing arguments, Simpson's attorney Yale Galanter "acknowledged that what Simpson did to recover his memorabilia was not right. 'But being stupid, and being frustrated is not being a criminal,'" he said.
Accordingly if it were true, every single Oakland Raiders fan would be serving life sentences. However, most NFL fans admit that being a Raiders fan is punishment enough.
For now, Simpson will sit on the razor's edge as he waits for his sentencing date on December 5th. And while some believe that the reading of the verdict cut deeply, it is safe to say that the sentencing process is going to go straight for the jugular.
Only time will tell if Simpson will cry bloody murder when the sentence is handed down or if tears will flow as if gushing from an artery. But one thing is for sure, this writer has to end the article because he has no more euphemisms for Simpson being a throat cutting murderer and overall douche bag.

Prison, if he gets at least year and a day, he goes to prison. Of course if he gets less he might go to county. And you know what they do in county? Toss the salad.

his friend says one day the truth will come out.yeah,right!!,and maybe the real killers will be found
in the ever exhausting search he has been conducting in between golf matches,a luxury home and putting his two kids through college.he is a joke to the world and is in the one place he truly belongs
until he dies and books his reservation to hell.

At least if he ends up in prison he will be able to search for the killer(s) in a more appropriate place than on the links.

I hope he finds plenty of fans in the showers.

This article, is yet, another grande example of a White-racist society refusing to accept Justice ---for 13 years and counting!--- whenever Justice didn't cater to White people.
Therefore, the one goal-line O.J. needs to be punished for not crossing, is the U.S. border, when he was acquitted for murders he didn't commit ---never to return to this racist Nation ever again!
But, like an idiot, he remained here.
Like an idiot, he thought Justice meant an acquitted White man = an acquitted Black man...hahahaha
Like an idiot, he thought he was entitled to the same Life as Whitefolk are, when they are acquitted of crimes that they didn't commit.
Like an idiot, he spent the past 13 years continually being setup, and refusing to read the writing on the wall.
Then, like an idiot, he finally fell.
Yep! Fell victim to an illegal police setup, superlative lies, deceit, and an unequivocally-galactic miscarriage of Justice that now = his prison term.
Where he'll have years ---to sit back!--- and realize how bad this great Nation called AmeriKKKa, was out to get him;
~police surveillanced guys who rolled around with O.J.'s property that they stole-----for 3 weeks!
~police surveillanced guys looking to setup a meeting with O.J., regarding his property, that they stole.
~O.J. showed the same anger, as any other American, when he tried to get back *his stolen property* that police watched/did nothing about for 3 weeks, as the illegally set him up for entrapment.
~cowardly White men, who lied that O.J. held them at gunpoint, are heard in the room-audio, talking awfully greasy at folks *allegedly* pointing firearms at them which could end life in one breath...hmmm
~cowardly White men, who lied that O.J. held them at gunpoint, were so afraid for their lives; when O.J. left that room from robbing them at gunpoint, they immediately called the police? No! The Hotel's Security? No! The tabloids? HELL YES!
So, again, all you White-racists out there----------please, do feel great over this one!
As you got to see that *this certainly is you all's country* and any non-Whites who dare challenge that, had better have their Last Will/Testimonies fully made out!

Like a bigoted white man, he thought he could get away with murder! Where is the justice in that?
Far better if he had slashed his own throat and not Nicole's or Goodman's--imagine, a black man's woman with a white man--oh the shame!
Well Jon, you have arrived! The race card has been dealt and we are all racists. I can't wait to call all my (black) friends and tell them the news.
yungCaucasoid, as we old folks used to say in the sixties: "America, love it or leave it!" How lucky for you that so many others have fought and died so that you can speak your mind.
Of course Jon, I love this article too, being the nasty old woman I am.
Why did I used to sit and rock those beautiful, black babies to sleep in the nursery? Guess I was wasting my time, huh yung?

you guys are crazy...lol dorothy you are funny...im not sure if oj killed those people or not but one thing is for sure---he had it coming. if i was oj and i had gotten away with - or excuse me - been aquitted of double murder when half the world thought that i was gulity - i would have just laid low and lived my life out of the limelight. i would not have been so flambouant -getting people with guns to get my stuff!! you know what im sayin...i would try to do things the right way because after all, as good ole' bush said it... fool me once...you can't fool me again...lol
i wish him the best. whereever he is - he's still a man - black he may be. MURDER is wrong regardless of the color.
this message is coming from a black woman with a white husband...
interestingly my husband wanted OJ to be innocent but because he was white he went along with his buddies and said heck yeah he did it. now we talk about it sometimes and we are both in agreement with our thoughts---it doesn't matter though because OJ is serving a life sentence whether he is in jail or not - he's guilty. most of the world has already convicted him.
peace out..
