OJ Simpson Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison
OJ Simpson may have gotten away with murdering his wife Nicole Simpson, but was found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping.
He was a part robbery in a Las Vegas hotel back in 2007. The 6 minute incident is costing him at least 15 years in jail with just over 2 years of possible extension.
“Simpson remained calm while his tough sentence was delivered by Nevada judge Jackie Glass. The judge stressed that she was not sentencing him for any previous actions besides those for which he was currently on trial – an obvious reference to the deaths of Brown and Goldman.
The judge added that she respected the decision of the jury in the current case. “The problem is that I can’t ignore that the behavior at the time … was reckless … A gun was used … property was stolen … and now I will sentence you,” Judge Glass said.”
OJ Simpson was denied bail and is sitting in the slammer as of this moment. Ron Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman was happy to hear the “monster” that took his son’s life is behind bars.
“There’s never closure, Ron is always gone, but what we have is satisfaction that this monster is behind bars where he belongs.”
My thoughts are with the family and friends who have waited for this day.
