OJ Simpson sentenced to 6 to 21 years

As much as I think he deserves to go to jail, the americans have been gagging for a reason to get him behind bars anyway.

Bit of a hard sentence, considering Rapists, dont even get that in the states, neither do some murder charges.

Either way, he defo deserved a 'long' sentence.

Hmmm,

That's kind of put me off trying to rob Rotty's Porsche off him.

It's ok, a UK court would give you a slap on the wrist, 10 mins community sevice and a bag of jelly babies

Here in the UK they don't.

In the US, very stiff penalties are dished out.

I know, I was refering to the US law/sentencing.

Either way, they have been gunning for him anyway. I dont believe any normal by-stander who would have comitted this crime would have got the same tbh.

Yeah, I wasn't being entirely serious.

You wouldn't be so quick to pull the old "rolleyes" if it were your relatives that he'd butchered! The guy is a killer and a thug!

In the US, most rape cases can be punishable with life sentences.

You have my sympathies Azagoth, I hadn't realised you were related to the deceased. I hope OJ's sentence goes some way towards addressing the travisty that was the original court finding him not guilty.

Same as the uk, only the judges never do.

Will probably get about 15 years. Hope he rots in jail though.

Good guess.
