What Will O.J. Be Sentenced For?

Monday, October 6th, 2008

O.J. was not convicted of those murders. You know, the murders many people thought he committed years ago.  But he has been convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos.

First the white Bronco and now a hotel room?  If nothing else, O.J. has been involved in some of the dumbest drama the public has every seen…twice.  Oh well.
O.J. Simpson...Guilty! In the public’s mind, this is justice. Somebody finally got O.J. and when it comes time to sentence him (if I’m not mistaken he is appealing) I think he will be sentenced for those murders more so, or just as much as the charges he was convicted of.  If the 61-year-old Pro Football Hall of Famer spends the rest of his life in jail — which is very possible — the majority of Americans will likely shed no tears.  In fact, if he gets a stiff sentence, which I think he will eventually get, there will be some cheers and high-fives in celebration.

What do you think he is going to be sentenced for?  Yes, I know the jury wasn’t supposed to be influenced by the murder cases, but I’m a realist.  Is there really 12 people who have no knowledge or wouldn’t be influenced by the previous trial?  If I was on the jury, I would be upset – you could say highly pissed off.  I would feel this way because the whole thing would be a waste of my time.  I would just be looking at “The Juice” thinking, “How can one person be so stupid in one lifetime?”

Who is paying for his legal fees anyway?  I thought a lot of his money was supposed to be going to Ron Goldman’s family.  If so, how does he afford what is probably an expensive legal bill.  Wasn’t he supposed to have committed these crimes so he could recover some of his valuable possessions?

To add even more confusion, and stupidity, to this whole thing, O.J. wrote a book called “If I Did It” about how he would have committed the murders.  Guess who published the book?  Ron Goldman’s family!!!

I’m confused.  Is the Goldman family happy he has been convicted or would it be better for him to be out and making money?  Besides thinking this whole thing – O.J.’s whole life since 1995 – is stupid, I don’t know what to think.  What do you think?

Does anyone even remember or does it matter anymore that this was a Hall of Fame Football player?
