No, OJ made the mistake of conspiring in and commiting a multitude of felonies. Poor choice on his part. Aren't you one who believes in consequences for one's actions, though?



Sure, if there are any. "I want my stuff back" is not a mitigating circumstance. "I was wealthy and now feel entitled" isn't either.



Who set him up?



Ahh, yes, the logical fallacy of trying to prove a negative.





I "condone" a fair trial for someone accused of multiple felonies, and if guilty, I "condone" a reasonable punishment. If that somehow indicates to you that I have some sort of moral corruptions, well, you've got even bigger issues than I first thought.


Not sure what this has to do with Democrats, though.

So he gets charged with kidnapping and 11 other felony counts.

And it's all about OJ's memorabilia.....and a dispute on who owns it.

Sounds like a capital crime that somebody deserves to serve a life sentence over.

Nobody was harmed, just a few threats were made.

Yup he deserves to serve a life sentence over this.


It's still payback.

15 years is the law.

Seriously, man, get over it. He broke the law. He was convicted for it. He'll get the same sentence that anyone else would have.

He was convicted by an all White jury over charges that are highly questionable.

Do you think this is payback.

Strange, I believe this is the 14 year aniversary of his being found not guilty in Los Angelas.

I just have a problem with someone like Michael Vick getting 18 months and OJ getting 15 years for telling someone not to leave the room.

And you still can't convince me that he wasn't found guilty because the jury had a score to settle with him over the murder of his wife and Ron Goldman.

Maybe it's Karma, but something fishy happened here. The worst crime I can see in all of this is the crime of stupidity. OJ should have moved out of the country like Michael Jackson because they would have gotten him too if he hadn't left.

So how does he go out and live his life? Like a careless and irresponsible oaf. Getting himself into some obvious trouble about every other year or so and getting caught redhanded all the time.

There was no payback going into this series of events, O.J. was simply insisting on wanting to prove how dumb a criminal he could be. This latest crime is just about the stupidest thing you've ever read. There were other ways that he could have gone about getting his stuff back, if indeed it was his stuff. Instead he and his posse just acted like thugs, getting caught on camera just about every step of the way.

This only proves my point.


Remember this; he was found not guilty.

It doesn't matter what you think. According to the law that murder case has zero bearing on this case. Anyone on that jury that had a score to settle was breaking the law. It is not up to them to right a perceived wrong.

That is the only reason I opened this thread. I wanted to see what people are thinking.
