Karma Baby: O.J. Simpson Sentenced to 9 to 33 Years in Las Vegas for Kidnapping and Robbery … The Juice Finally Squeezed

It really is true, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

In this case it will be O.J Simpson staying in the Nevada penal system for the next 9 to 33 years. 61 year old former NFL star OJ Simpson was sentenced today in Las Vegas by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass to spend at least nine years in prison up until 33 years. Glass also sentenced co-defendant Clarence Stewart to at least 7 1/2 years behind bars with a maximum sentence of 27 years.

Reporting from Los Angeles and Las Vegas — Brushing aside a tearful apology from O.J. Simpson, a Las Vegas judge today sentenced the former football star to at least nine years in prison for the kidnapping and robbery last year of two sports memorabilia dealers in a casino hotel room.

Under the sentence handed down by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass, Simpson would be eligible for parole in 2017. The maximum time he could serve is 33 years, at which time he would be 94 years old.

O.J’s apologies and sob story to judge fall of deaf ears.

OJ Simpson Finally Receives Justice in a Court Room

 

O.J. Simpson statement before sentencing

Your honor, I stand before you today sorry. Somewhat confused. I feel, like, apologetic to the people of the state of Nevada. I’ve been coming to Nevada since 1959. I worked summer jobs for my uncle in ‘60 and ‘61, and I’ve been coming ever since, and I’ve never gotten into any trouble. People have always been fine to me.

For more than 13 years, OJ Simpson has been widely regarded as the man who got away with murder … today in Vegas his luck ran out.

OJ Simpson Attorney Yale Galanter Calls Verdict Pay Back … Nope Justice was Served 13 Years Later for a Different Crime

In the eyes of paid lawyers, O.J. Simpson is never guilty of his crimes … only juries are to OJ_arrestedblame. Funny, OJ’s defense team had nothing but praise in 1995 when they were handed a victory. Interesting how it is only pay back when a defense attorney loses. When they win, they state the jury was wise and understood the case and over came their biases. OJ has made a habit of not just remaining secluded and counting his lucky stars for what occurred in 1995. This time OJ fought the law and the law won … JUSTICE SERVED!

O.J. Simpson learned 13 years too late that there are consequences to one’s actions. Had the original LA County jury actually done their job we would have never had to hear about Mr. Simpson ever again. But that is not the case and OJ was allowed to continue his reckless behavior until the law of averages caught up with him. In Vegas the casino only lets one win so many times before one goes bust.

Whatever the jury was thinking, Fred Goldman praised the verdict.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to see the potential that he could serve the rest of his life in jail where the scumbag belongs,” he told CNN.

Yale Galanter, the defense attorney for OJ Simpson called the 12 count conviction of “The Juice” pay back. Pay back for the crimes of murder that OJ was found “not guilty” of 13 years ago in the brutal and heinous deaths of Simpson’s ex-Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Galanter called justice served a “lynching”. Cry us a river. Galanter some how has forgotten the jury nullification that took place 13 years ago and had no problem when that specific jury basically played the “pay back” game for crimes they perceived against their race. I guess some how that is different. How soon will this jury be called racists?

The Las Vegas jury that found O.J. Simpson guilty of all charges in a hotel room robbery case were “on an agenda” to make up for Simpson’s 1995 murder acquittal, his attorney said.

OJ Simpson GUILTY on all Charges in Sports Memorabilia Robbery in Vegas … The Glove Fit

GUILTY … THE GLOVE FIT THIS TIME!     File this one under, what goes OJ_Simpson_GUILTYaround comes around. Justice is finally served to OJ.

OJ Simpson has been found guilty on all charges stemming from the robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room. OJ was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges pertaining to the robbery. Simpson’s co-defendant, Clarence “C.J.” Stewart was also found guilty on all charges and taken into custody.

VIDEO – VERDICT

A weary and somber Simpson released a heavy sigh as the charges were read by the clerk in Clark County District Court. He was immediately taken into custody.

The Hall of Fame football star was 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. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun.

Just call it Karma, call it poetic justice … call it just plain justice served, 13 years later. Ironically, the guilty sentence handed down Friday to OJ came 13 years to the day when he was shamefully cleared of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown  Simpson and Ron Goldman.  OJ Simpson, 61, could spend the rest of his life in prison and will be sentenced one December 5, 2008. The fact of the matter is, eventually in time, it may not be out time … but justice is served to those who most deserve it.

Pictured above, OJ’s reaction after getting away with murder 13 years ago.

What a difference 13 years make when justice is finally served.

 
UNLUCKY 13

According to Simpson’s defense attorneys, The Juice is extremely upset over being found guilty on all charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

“He’s extremely upset, extremely emotional, but it is something that was expected,” he said.

“Definitely someone like OJ Simpson, everyone has a fixed opinion of him and it’s troubling.

“I wasn’t surprised.”

O.J. Simpson guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping

The jury of nine men and three women, none of them African-American, reached its verdict after 13 hours of deliberations Friday. Jurors heard from 22 witnesses over 12 days of testimony. Chief among the witnesses were seven of the nine people inside Room 1203 of the Palace Station Hotel and Casino for the September 13, 2007, confrontation.

UPDATE I: Timeline of OJ Conviction

UPDATE II: What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

I guess it is true, what happens in Vegas … stays in Vegas including potentially OJ Simpson’s convicted self for the next 30 years in prison.

Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a mandatory sentence of at least two years behind bars, and could bring as much as 30. Sentencing was set for Dec. 5.
