Sometimes there is Justice

[DispatchDragon]

Just watched O J Simpson found guilty of 12 counts including kidnapping with a deadly weapon, robbery with a deadly weapon, assualt with a deadly weapon

The irony -- its 13 years to the day that he was found not guilty of murdering his wife


For those who believe that justice can be served

What remains to be seen now is if he gets the lower end of the sentence possibilties....or if he gets senrenced like anyone else :think:

If the Judge is anything to go by - it will be maximum - 15 to life with no parole until 10
She has a reputation for dealing justice by the book - also if the end of the hearing last night is anything to go by
she is neither interested or impressed by Mr Simpson's "star" reputation

Thats what needs to be seen to be done and it certainly looks that way at the moment

From what I understand, the minimum is actually 55 years as some of the counts cannot run concurrently (at the same time).

Basicall, it means OJ will most likely spend the rest of his life in jail.

He was convicted of an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13
and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary of his Los Angeles murder acquittal.
The Las Vegas jury deliberated for 13 hours,
after a 13-day trial.

The funniest (ironic) thing was the lights in the court room

Apparently the courtrooms on the 15th floor have time controlled lights (they automatically switch off at 2300lcl time)

As Simpson was being prepared to be taken to the detention cells ALL the lights went out in the courtroom - There was confusion

Then the judge very calmly said "they timed out" and the lights came back on -- In American Football parlance the only thing missing

from this long sad story is a fat lady singing

ain't worried
I know what song she's gonna be singing.

the truly sad thing is that some will never learn
they gotta have theirs
