OJ sentenced to 6 years

[smahoo]

LAS VEGAS - Former football star O.J. Simpson has been sentenced to prison for a botched attempt to recover sports mementos and personal items from two collectibles peddlers.

He will be eligibile for parole in six years.

"You can't take back your own property by force," said Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass. "This is not behavior we can say this 'OK, don't worry'."

"You went to the room, you took guns, you used force, you took property, whether it was yours or someone else's, and in this state that amounts to armed robbery," Glass said.

Minutes before his sentence, Simpson apologized to the judge and said he didn’t mean to steal from anybody when he tried to retrieve memorabilia.

Simpson made his statement in a soft voice that was somewhat hoarse.

He appeared ready to break down in tears as he told Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass that he was “sorry and confused” before going into a rambling, 5-minute declaration.

"I didn’t want to steal anything from anyone ... I’m sorry, sorry," he said.

no, he was sentenced to a max of 15 years but parole after 6.

[Da Raider]

sorry, but the punishment didn't fit the crime. OJ got fucked hard on this one. Of course, he did get away with murder so I guess karma's a bitch.

You're an idiot

I'm pretty confident that you are the village idiot of GMF.

OJ didn't bring guns, ask people to bring guns, nor did he physically hold people there against their will. His accomplices did these things of their own freewill. The law is acting like this is a RICO trial where you can charge the head of the mafia with murder when one of his underlings kills someone. Hell, one of his accomplices (who even suggested they go and get his stuff back) taped the conversations and admitted to doing it for financial gain. They pretty much gave everyone else a pass or promise of a much lighter sentence for turning on OJ. Yes, he's guilty of a crime, but 15 years? Give me a fucking break.

This has everything to do with a DA wanted to get his name in the paper for busting a hated celebrity who got away with murder more than anything else. OJ got his comeuppance.

And if you can't understand that, you are dumber than I previously thought.

Have you even heard the tapes? He freely admits, even in his sentencing, that he was the one that wanted to go up and get his shit. The tapes prove HE was the one that said no one gets by. Once he saw guns, he could've turned on his boys and he would've skated the armed assault/kidnapping charges, but he didn't cause he wanted hsi shit. Thus making it ARMED ROBBERY. It would be equivalent to the getaway driver getting the same charges for driving the offender away. Except in this case, OJ was the dude orchastrating the crime.


You fail sir. Try harder next time.

If this exact situation occurred to a non-celebrity, they would not have let the accomplises slide and spent all of their energy throwing the book at OJ. This is a case of OJ getting his "just desserts". Everyone knows it. Just admit it. I'm not defending OJ's actions, I'm saying that it's the big elephant in the room that the LAW is pretending isn't there.

yeah thats exactly what it was, because the LAW never tries to get the defendants to turn on each other except when it involves a celebrity.

By your sound logic it would be legal to go rob any Pawn Shop in town (well, not now days, but you get the picture)

The fact it might've been 'stolen' doesn't give YOU the right to commit Armed Robbery and Kidnapping. He wanted to keep this shit, in ****** speak, on the DL so he wouldn't have to pay the Goldman family the money he owes.

I can see how it would be a crime, just the definition of said crime seems wonky.

[BIG PIZZLE]

It really depends on how the laws are written in Nevada but generally, if you own the shit you are trying to rob but dont know it all you can get is attempted robbery. If you think you own the shit you are trying to rob, you can get assault. It all comes down to how reasoably your belief is that you own the shit you are trying to get back. You cannot be convicted of robbery if you honestly and reasonably believe that you own the shit you're trying to get back.

NRS 200.380 Definition; penalty. 1. Robbery is the unlawful taking of personal property from the person of another, or in his presence, against his will, by means of force or violence or fear of injury, immediate or future, to his person or property, or the person or property of a member of his family, or of anyone in his company at the time of the robbery. A taking is by means of force or fear if force or fear is used to:
(a) Obtain or retain possession of the property;
(b) Prevent or overcome resistance to the taking; or
(c) Facilitate escape.
Ê The degree of force used is immaterial if it is used to compel acquiescence to the taking of or escaping with the property. A taking constitutes robbery whenever it appears that, although the taking was fully completed without the knowledge of the person from whom taken, such knowledge was prevented by the use of force or fear.
2. A person who commits robbery is guilty of a category B felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 2 years and a maximum term of not more than 15 years.
[1911 C&P § 162; RL § 6427; NCL § 10109]—(NRS A 1961, 53; 1967, 470; 1993, 253; 1995, 1187)

NRS 200.320 Kidnapping in first degree: Penalties. A person convicted of kidnapping in the first degree is guilty of a category A felony and shall be punished: 1. Where the kidnapped person suffers substantial bodily harm during the act of kidnapping or the subsequent detention and confinement or in attempted escape or escape therefrom, by imprisonment in the state prison:
(a) For life without the possibility of parole;
(b) For life with the possibility of parole, with eligibility for parole beginning when a minimum of 15 years has been served; or
(c) For a definite term of 40 years, with eligibility for parole beginning when a minimum of 15 years has been served.
2. Where the kidnapped person suffers no substantial bodily harm as a result of the kidnapping, by imprisonment in the state prison:
(a) For life with the possibility of parole, with eligibility for parole beginning when a minimum of 5 years has been served; or
(b) For a definite term of 15 years, with eligibility for parole beginning when a minimum of 5 years has been served.

No it doesnt. If you put your purse on a park bench and someone snatches it and you chase them down an alley they pull out a gun and tell you to GTFO. That's robbery. It's a shame how anyone can sound smart on the internet.

[Whiffleball]

My understanding is that he'll serve nine years at least, not that it really matters...

Simpson, 61, was sentenced to 16 years for kidnapping and was also sentenced to at least another three years in prison for assault. He will be eligible for parole after six years on the kidnapping charges, meaning he will be eligible for release after nine years. With sentencing enhancements on the kidnapping charge, he could serve as long as 33 years. He had faced up to life in prison.

He totally deserves the sentence, in my opinion. You have to be one dumb motherfucker to think, "Okay, I think these people have my shit. What would be the rational thing to do? I know! Me and my friends will storm the joint and violently confront these guys for our stuff! With guns! There's no way that's illegal! Of course, even if I were to be on trial, it's not like people think I once already slipped through the cracks of the justice system and that retribution should be taken on me!"

OJ and one of his buddies were trekking through the Amazon Rainforest, when they stumbled upon a group of crazy cannibals. The cannibals tied them up, and the chief gave them a choice. First, he asked OJ's buddy: do you choose death, or Bukka? OJ's buddy is scared shitless, but doesn't want to die, so he chooses Bukka. One by one, the crazy cannibals start buttfucking him, for hours on end. Seeing this, OJ quickly makes up his mind, choosing death over such terrible torment. Immediately, the cannibals start chanting, "DEATH BY BUKKA!!!, DEATH BY BUKKA!!!, DEATH BY BUKKA!!!, DEATH BY BUKKA!!!..."

OJ coulda taken a plea deal for less time (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081206/ap_on_re_us/oj_simpson)

LAS VEGAS – O.J. Simpson is headed to prison for at least nine years, but a prosecutor says the former football star could have spent less time behind bars if he had accepted a plea deal before he was convicted.
Clark County District Attorney David Roger said Simpson was offered a deal for less prison time than the nine- to 33-year prison terms the graying former football star was sentenced to on Friday for kidnapping and assaulting two sports memorabilia dealers with a deadly weapon.
"Mr. Simpson wanted something just short of a public apology," Roger said. "We didn't think that was appropriate."
Roger did not offer specifics of the deal and Simpson's defense lawyers declined to discuss details.
"There was nothing that was palatable. Nothing acceptable," Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter said.

Hey Fuck Face, the only one of OJ's crew who refused to testify against him got 7.5 years. The others, well, read on...

Reporting from Las Vegas -- The men who carried handguns into a hotel room accompanying O.J. Simpson in an attempt to retrieve sports memorabilia received sentences of probation Tuesday.

Simpson was sentenced last week to at least nine years in prison. But Michael McClinton and Walter Alexander -- who testified against the NFL Hall of Fame running back -- avoided prison time.


So looks like I was right, and per usual, you were wrong.
