LAS VEGAS – O.J. Simpson is headed to prison for at least nine years, but a prosecutor says the former football star could have spent less time behind bars if he had accepted a plea deal before he was convicted.

Now I guess Nicoles "real" killer can go golfing without fear of Simpson looking for him on golf courses. Last night Alan Colmes was crying in his soup about the verdict and sentence.

His ego wouldn’t let him. He’s always believed he was above the law.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I think OJ's Corn Flakes have been in the milk a little too long.
Something ain't right with that boy upstairs.

[IbJensen]

O.J. has a lot in common with the cartoon Simpson.

(Duh.)

[BallyBill]

OJ will convert to Islam and garner much support from his old Hollywood friends.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

He went free for the murder of two innocent people because the jury was conned into feeling sorry for him because he is a member of a “downtrodden” race.
But goes to jail for this.

[SampleMan]

Not to worry, Obama will give him a pardon.

michael jackson did that last month...

Well, OJ can write a book; on how he would have been guilty; if he had meant to be. . .

Seeing OJ so remorseful, was strange; it is clear the his emotions are spent only on himself.

... Obama will give him a pardon.

On Midnight January 5th 2013 I SINCERELY HOPE!

He went free for the murder of two innocent people... but goes to jail for this.

BTTT

I wonder if some real bad ass will make OJ a trophy prison wife....

[ladyvet]

That arrogant SOB finally got what he deserved. Watching him trying to sway the judge was like watching a teenager trying not to get grounded. Have a nice time in prison you murdering POS.

ohh, that image just made my day....

Seeing OJ so remorseful, was strange; it is clear the his emotions are spent only on himself.

I disagree that his rambling indicated "remorse." He was going on about how it was "just between friends" and how he had "forgiven" the ones he robbed. You are quite correct that he thinks only of himself. Remorse? No, none at all.

O. J. may have been able to outrun the UCLA Bruin defense, but he couldn’t outrun the law.

[bobjam]

Can OJ still cast a Heisman ballot?

[Oztrich Boy]

D'oh!

His ego wouldn’t let him. He’s always believed he was above the law.

"Earlier in this case, at a bail hearing, I asked — said — to Mr. Simpson I didn't know if he was arrogant or ignorant or both. And during the trial and through this proceeding, I got this answer, and it was both." excerpt from Judge Jackie Glass' statement at OJ's sentencing 12/05/2008
