Note to self:
I’ll bet he never spends a night in prison. He was found guilty, but they’ll find a way to keep him from serving the sentence he so rightly deserves!
Nevada has minimum sentences so there is no chance that he will not be sentenced to prison. His only hope is appeal. I would not be surprised to see him granted a new trial because the evidence was thin. I am not sure if the state of the evidence will be enough for a new trial. If he is not granted a new trial, he will be in prison for a long time. Even if he is granted a new trial, he will be in prison for at least several years before the appeal is approved.
I have sympathy for his co-defendant. If Simpson were a normal person, the case may not have been prosecuted or at least a good plea agreement would have been offered. The case was zealous prosecution. Although the minimum aspects may been satisfied in the counts against the defendants, the circumstances of the crime hardly merit the stiff sentences that will be given. Unfortunately, Simpson is not a normal defendant. The co-defendant picked the wrong person to pull this stunt with. Simpson deserves the sentence but the co-defendant does not.
