O.J. Simpson gets 15-years in prison

O.J. Simpson is heading to prison for at least 15 years after robbing a couple of sports memorabilia dealers at gun point in their Las Vegas hotel room in September of last year.

O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to a minimum of 15 years in prison for the gunpoint robbery and kidnapping of two sports memorabilia dealers.

Simpson, 61, will not be eligible for parole for five years.

A jury on Oct. 3 convicted Simpson and Clarence “C.J” Stewart of a multitude of charges against them in the Sept. 13, 2007, confrontation with the dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

In handing down her decision, Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass said the evidence against Simpson — all of which was presented on tape to a jury — was “overwhelming.”

Simpson, his voice quivering at times, apologized to the court prior to his sentencing and said his only intention that night was to retrieve personal items, family photos and sports mementos that he said had been stolen from him years earlier.

“I didn’t mean to steal from everybody,” Simpson said.

He didn’t mean to steal from everybody…just those two sports memorabilia dealers.

Amazing. The man skates on double-murder (ahem, allegedly) but gets 15 years for stealing his own sports crap.
