LAS VEGAS - Former football star O.J. Simpson has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison for a botched attempt to recover sports mementos and personal items from two collectibles peddlers.

He will be eligibile for parole in six years.

"You can't take back your own property by force," said Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass. "This is not behavior we can say this is OK, don't worry."

"You went to the room, you took guns, you used force, you took property, whether it was yours or someone else's, and in this state that amounts to armed robbery," Glass said.

Minutes before his sentence, Simpson apologized to the judge and said he didn’t mean to steal from anybody when he tried to retrieve memorabilia.

Simpson made his statement in a soft voice that was somewhat hoarse.

He appeared ready to break down in tears as he told Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass that he was “sorry and confused” before going into a rambling, 5-minute declaration.

"I didn’t want to steal anything from anyone ... I’m sorry, sorry," he said.

Glass also ruled before sentencing that Simpson cannot be freed on bail pending possible appeal.

In earlier proceedings, neither Simpson, who was acquitted of the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles, nor his co-defendant and former golfing buddy, Clarence "C.J. Stewart, testified at trial. They were convicted Oct. 3 of 12 criminal charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery.

Jurors who heard 13 days of testimony said after the verdict that they were convinced of Simpson's guilt because of audio recordings middleman Thomas Riccio secretly made of the Sept. 13, 2007, Palace Station casino hotel confrontation with sports memorabilia brokers Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong.

"Don't let nobody out of this room!" Simpson commands on the recordings, and instructs other men to scoop up items he insists had been stolen from him.

On Tuesday, Glass is scheduled to sentence four former co-defendants who took plea deals and testified against Simpson and Stewart. Michael McClinton, Charles Cashmore, Walter Alexander and Charles Ehrlich could receive probation or prison time. McClinton could get up to 11 years; the others face less.

Thats cold those faggots he did the crime with turned states evidence & testified against him.


I fucking hate rats.

but OJ shoulda known that way ahead of time, he knows everyone hates him, no props for OJ for even thinking he can be a career criminal after the OJ trial, the way i see it anyone would set him up and snitch on him (i use everyone loosely) because hes a fall guy.

trying to rob your own memorbilia is ridiculous

i mean to me it all boils down to OJ getting the book thrown at him because of his prior issues with the law, who can you really trust after that? i remember the oj trial, and peoples opinion on oj after, years after, several years after, alot of people held and hold a vendetta over his arrogance over his wifes death

like dont make no fuckin book called 'if i did it'....that didnt sit right with anyone. i aint sayin its right but im sayin oj woulda done 3 years if he stole some steaks at safeway

They finnally got the nigga. I kinda feel badd for him, then again, he got away with obvious murder almost 15 years ago. 15 years in jail aint badd considering the real shit that he got away with.

Jury of his peers my ass!

Jury of his fans, maybe.

If it was his PEERS, they would have had Walter Payton & Joe Montana on that jury.

Everyone wanna talk about his previous murder trial.

"IF THE GLOVE DONT FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT"


straight up, he got proven innocent in the murder of his cheating ex wife & her wack ass boyfriend who deserved what they got.

15 years is an abuse of power on the punk ass judges half.

FUCK THE U.S. JUDICIAL SYSTEM!!!
I agree with FUCK THE U.S. JUDICIAL SYSTEM, but maybe you need to understand what it is first. O.J. didn't get proven innocent, he was deemed not guilty. The burden of proof is layed on the prosecution. Cochran didn't prove him innocent, he just did enough to put doubt in the jury's mind.
