OJ Sentencing

Live on msnbc, and the judge is taking no shit.

Seems like just yesterday the entire nation stopped breathing for an hour so we could all watch the Nicole/Goldman verdict.

 

I can't tell you how happy I am to have this story back again.

 

It's taking forever to get to the sentencing!

 

o.j.'s attorney giving a history lesson about the civil war? what's up with that?

 

I'm sure this guy knows he's on national TV.

 

This is how this should go:

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Seven years.

 

Seven years is probably pretty close to what he will get.

Sometimes when a judge gives a big, long lecture, they give a shorter sentence than you might expect and shorter than the maximum.

I once watched a plea bargain in court - it was an amazing thing. The judge will say... "you acknoledge breaking and entering" and all these different counts... you can get about 8 for one instance of breaking and entering... the judge says strictly to the defendant that "you acknowldge that you freely plead guilty without and promise of a reduced sentence and recognize I as judge am not bound by any agreement."

Then after the whole dance, they give the person the lesser charge and lesser sentence.. They probably have to go through all that, but it is absurd to actually watch.

 

The American judicial system? Absurd?

Getthefuckouttahere.

 

OJ's really really sorry, but here's all the reasons why he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

 

I hate when they cut in with commentary. Just show the hearing and let me watch.
