LAS VEGAS — A jury found O.J. Simpson guilty on all charges in an armed robbery and kidnapping case.
The verdict comes 13 years after Mr. Simpson was acquitted in the highly publicized murders of his ex-wife and her friend.
Mr. Simpson faced 12 charges stemming from a September 2007 confrontation in a casino hotel room in which he and five cohorts departed with hundreds of items of sports memorabilia.
The items were in the possession of two memorabilia dealers, Bruce L. Fromong and Alfred Beardsley, who were led to believe a prospective buyer was coming to browse the goods. Instead, Mr. Simpson and his group burst into the room and, according to several witnesses, at least one gun was brandished.
The jury of nine women and three men mulled weeks of testimony as well as hours of surreptitious audio recordings of the planning and execution of the event by Thomas Riccio, a memorabilia auctioneer who arranged the confrontation.
Your thoughts?
Dear Government, eventually the people with money will tell you to fuck off, and stop paying for those that don't work
Simpson should be judged by the facts of this case and this case alone. He is not on trial for the murder he is claimed to have committed. I have my personal feelings, but that is separate from this action. If Simpson did what he is claimed to have done in this case, he will be judged by his behavior in this case. Behavior. Those who make claims of "justice" being served do not understand that "justice" is the outcome of the PROCESS and not the decision. Our system of justice provides for a trial by jury of your peers. The verdict is the meting out of justice and whether guilty or not guilty, the process has been allowed to work and justice is the result.
OJ gathered a gang of men, told some of them to bring guns, and went and robbed two men. He told his gang not to let anyone out. The property that he stole was NOT his. This was "stuff" that he hid from the State of Calif. so it wouldn't be turned over to the Goldman family as part of the judgment against him. This was rightfully THEIR property, not Orenthal James Simpson's.

Bullet point mafia
There = a place
Their = belonging to someone, possessive
They're = contraction of they + are
"rewind and let me reverse is, backwards like judas priest first did" haha, finally, you get it.
Now, I feel that oj will do very well in jail, he will be revered as a god due to his football career and the inmates will also revere him as a man that got away with murder. what's gonna suck is when he has to give his $3.50 a day wages to the goldman family too.....

I agree! That said, its comforting to see him go to jail for something.
Las Vegas has a very different judicial system than California. In Vegas, if you really need a break and aren't a real criminal, than you will get off with a "slap on the hand". But if you are a real criminal, they will hang you from a tree at the outskirts of town to make sure anyone coming into the great city of Las Vegas knows it ain't a place to be taken lightly. When he got off of murder charges, Vegas didn't agree. Then the celebrity chose to come to Las Vegas and thumb his nose up at the people. It didn't go over real well with the Las Vegas community. I know cause I lived there during that time and for 15 years total. He thought he could do his crap in Vegas and get away with it like he did in California... Nope, the Marshals were waiting for him to mess up there. And now Nevada has him and he ain't going anywhere else soon.
I can tell you about some cases where Nevada Marshals went to other States to bring back people that committed crimes in Las Vegas. They are not to be taken lightly. If you mess up in Vegas, you will spend some time in Nevada jails. And, in my opinion, they are the most fair state out of most.
