Default OJ Simpson

The sentencing was confusing, but it looks like OJ will be behind bars for at least 9 years before he can be eligible for parole. 13 years to the day after the murder trial, it looks like karma caught up with him.

I'd be curious to see how many people feel that OJ was rightfully acquitted. From everything I'm hearing, it seems that he is generally assumed to be guilty of his wife's murder. I don't know alot about it myself (I was 9 at the time), but it's really pretty interesting to see this playing out.

Yeah, OJ should've been put away the first time. But 9-33 years? That sounds like payback to me -- 2 wrongs don't make a right.

DNA proved that he was guilty of the murders, so I am glad he got put in jail for a while.

He intends to appeal, but was denied bail in the meantime.
