LAS VEGAS — O.J. Simpson was found guilty late Friday on all 12 counts stemming from a confrontation in a hotel room last year, including armed robbery and kidnapping.
O.J. Simpson reacted after he was found guilty of all 12 charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery, in Las Vegas.

The verdict, which comes 13 years to the day after Mr. Simpson was acquitted in the highly publicized murders of his ex-wife and her friend, concluded a four-week trial that many have seen as a proxy for those unsatisfied by that 1995 outcome.
Mr. Simpson now faces 15 years to life for the kidnapping charge as well as a minimum of at least another 10 years in prison on the other charges. His attorney, Yale Galanter, said he would appeal.

Was happy to see that OJ will finally face justice in a wrong doing as he has been so cavalier in his life about being “above the law”…. His sense of entitlement has always disgusted me…

“Now if we could only get an adjoining cell for Barack and his bailout buddies.”
Yeah, no kiddin’! They should all be voted out in November. At least anyone who voted for this disastrous socialist legislation.

Lets not partake in Schadenfreude but rather we should be ruminating the origins of Simpsons sociopathic psyche. Is it possible that his sense of entitlement was in fact an over-compensation for some gross inadequacy that warped his personality? Did the apotheosis of Simpson as an athlete create this apathetic attitude toward the value of human life? Also it seems to me that subconsciously or perhaps on a conscious level, Simpson desired to be arrested and imprisoned, that or he is just incredibly lacking in sagacity.

It was only a matter of time. Even when OJ was in jail or at his arraignment, he always had this smug look on his face.

The Da made sure their were no blacks on the jury this time.
A sure conviction. The Vegas police and the FBI should be the one on trial for refusing to go with OJ to retrieve his stolen property from a bunch of crooks
What a mockery of justice
