They went to commercial :rolleyes:

Of course looking at the past is relevant to sentencing. A person's whole life, and how he lived it, can and is considered. That's why at sentencing you'll see defense witnesses testifying as to how great a dad the person was, how he saved puppies, worked for charities, is an asset to society, etc.

Makes it very tough for the Simpson attys. Who are doing a terrible job so far, but I guess they don't have much material to work with.

That slope is dangerously slippery Milt...

What a croc.

Hell is making space available for the whoppers being told to support this scumbag.

Too bad death by hanging is not on the list of possibles.

There will be the argument that past dishonorable actions not sustained by a lawful judgment have to be excluded from any consideration. Hard to do and I'll bet some will avoid that temptation to a fault.

Not really. We aren't talking about using his past to *convict* him. That's already happened.

It's only sentencing at this point, and it is only a determination as to where in the sentencing guideline he should fall.

He has no past, his record is clean (well, for that incident, I think he had some recorded issues in Miami). When the word "payback" is being used, it is not judicially correct. He should get a hefty sentence from this incident alone (because he really screwed the pooch on this one), but "revenge" or "payback" sentencing is unethical and judicially corrupt.

I know I'm being idealistic on this one, but that's where I stand.

OJ is truly sorry that he offended the people of Nevada.

He has forgiven us for this assault on his freedom.

Do eyeballs pop out when the voltage is applied in the chair?

I always assumed that is why the sack is put over the head for executions.


I voted soap, but no rope.

He was found liable in a court of law for the death of two people.

I hardly call that a "clean record."

And, of course you are correct. But, a civil judgment unfulfilled is a problem in my eyes. His record is not clean, only from a criminal perspective. He has skated around his liability by living in FL where homes are exempt from seizure for assets and a few other moves.

Or, as the put it.

I think he'll get 10-20 and will get shanked in the first 6 months.

I wonder if they'll throw him in the cell block with all the Aryan Brotherhood gang members...

I heard on the radio today (don't know if it's true), that he will be in solitary confinement.

blah, blah, blah. They are rehashing the whole freaking trial.

If he were going to a fed pen, he would get special "accomdations." In NV, it may be a different story.

"Sorry... I was confused"


-the OJ defense.

Even better, he was not confused.... he was "somewhat confused"....

The hammer is going to come down hard on him . . .

She's cutting his balls off and stuffing them in his mouth.......... think we have heard the last from him for a long time!

I turned the TV off. What a circus. I'll wait to hear it here like a lot of my news.

You guys don't miss much. Doesn't anyone work? I'm a contractor, so you know I've been idle for months.

Watching this via CNN-web while working from home today. It doesn't look good for him.

Edit - Is it too late for me to change my guess? This judge is not smiling!
