He was also convicted of kidnapping, among other charges. He could have gotten life on that alone.

I wonder If he's thinking "Damn, Here I am, the place I was meant to be in anyway. Fuck it, I had a good run"

I don't buy it. This time there were witnesses as well as audio tapes. And just to give him the benefit of the doubt in regards to his murder trial, it was back in 1994 when the public as a whole was NOT as educated as they are today in regards to DNA. On top ot that his dream team was able to cast doubt by brilliantly (not that I agree with it but it was a brilliant strategy) making the trial about Mark Furman, the "racist" cop who wasd out to get a black man. They were able to take the spotlight off of O.J. in that murder trial and point it at Mark Furman.

This time it was different. Evidence back by corroborating testimony.

The Kidnap conviction is what actually did him in as far as the time that he will be required to serve.

I hope that the Goldman family is successfull in taking away his .85 cents an hour pay! He deserves to lose every penny that he has and has ever made. The bastard pranced around after being aquitted with such an "I did it and got away with it" type of attitude. How come he never lived up to his pre-trial promise of using all of his resources to find and catch the murderer of his children's mother?



FUCK HIM! Let him rot!

That's a GREAT point. If that trial took place today, I'd like to think it would be a slam dunk for the prosecution, and that race wouldn't come into play.

Same thing would have happened with Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.

Hurricane Carter can thank the great journalist Selwyn Raab, who is coincidentally the author of FIVE FAMILIES, for leading his crusade from way back in the '60s.

Not to mention Bob writing a song about it etc.

I've read the book on Rubin (Not his book). He did it.

Yes your honor.

Exactly right olivant. A jury either finds you guilty of the charges that are brought against you, or acquitts you of the charges brought against you.

An acquittal or a verdict of not guilty does NOT mean that they were found to be innocent.

O.J. says sorry to judge and that he din't mean to seal anything. Video

Crocodile tears and phony "remorse." The only remorse he has is that hes going to be locked up for a very long time.
And what a stupid explanation. He was retrieving his sstuff from friends? I know when I lend a book to someone, when I want it back I always go to his or her house with a posse and guns. Perfectly rasonable in O.J. Land.

I never understood why kidnapping was more serious then rape.

In most jurisdictions both crime sre first degree felonies, which put them on par with third degree murder.

In the UK, you can get 20 years for a rape and 30 for a kidnap.

Thats why rape is more common.

I reckon the worst thing to go to jail for would be manslaughter. Imagine you accidentally kill someone and you have to do 15 years etc.
