OJ gets 15 years for being found not guilty of murder

let's face it.

he got 15 years for trying to get his stolen stuff back.

that's outrageous.

if he were some redneck cowboy from Nevada, that wouldn't even have
arrested him.

mind you, OJ totally deserves to rot in jail, but this makes the
American justice system look ridiculous.

Why does he deserve to rot in jail, Zero?

I'm inclined to think the jury got it right both times. He was
punished for the crime where there was sufficient evidence to convict.
I think the justice system works better than you give it credit for.

Did you follow the first trial? The DNA evidence was complicated (hard
to follow for some, probably) but totally convincing.

Don't know about Sal, but fact is, OJ wasn't convicted of his wife's
killing. He was found not guilty of that, regardless of what people
believe about who actually did it, so really, you can't impose
punishment on him for THAT crime.

This was a conviction for armed robbery. 12 counts or something like
that. Does the man have a prior record for armed robbery? I'm not
sure he does.

Thing is -- what's the average sentence for armed robbery in Nevada
for someone with no prior record for that offence? Does 15 years sound
a bit long or what? Or -- does the length of the sentence reflect some
kind of secondary punishment being imposed for something he wasn't
convicted of? If so, it's a travesty of justice, really.

Of course. I agree. Doesn't stop me from believing a mistake was made.
But, yes, we can't/shouldn't punish him him for that crime.

I also agree with these thoughts.

It wasn't my intention to imply that I thought he should get extra jail
time since he wasn't convicted for the murders.

Why, that's simply not true. What a silly thing to say!

She doesn't always post her own opinions when she shares interesting
stories, but, often she does. And almost always (can't think of a time
she didn't) answers my questions when I ask...

It's a bit funny that you're sitting in your glass house throwing
stones, isn't it?

it's silly?

is that an opinion you're stating or a fact?

only reluctantly.

but mostly it depends on the subject.

You express your opinions, but not in relation to what other people are
saying (typically).

Do I agree that OJ totally deserves to rot in jail?

A jury found OJ not guilty. There are people out there who believe he
was not guilty. This guy, for instance: <http://wagnerandson.com/oj/OJ.htm>

If I were Queen and could throw anyone into jail who I thought totally
deserved to rot, would OJ be on my top ten list? top one hundred?

I think Zero wouldn't have decided that OJ totally deserved to rot if OJ
weren't a celeb. The crime OJ was found not guilty of was murder -- but
there are far more horrific crimes.

Why does OJ get his/yours "totally deserves to rot"? Who else shall we
put on the list while we're at it?

Most people forget that a woman saw his white van drive away down that
street but she sold her story to the National Enquirer for $100,000 or
so and it wasn't allowed in evidence. I believe I'm recalling that
correctly. I knew a guy who went to USC with him, voted against him
being allowed to join a country club in Bel Air - he was known as
really bad news long before he killed his wife.

You're not usually very interactive. You usually state your opinions
and ask other people to state theirs. Sometimes you'll do this back and
forth, but, as far as I can see, mostly you like to just start things.
Just my perception at the moment. :-)

So you don't know. Next time perhaps you'll think before you type
