Actually the judge can give him house arrest if he wanted to. I doubt if OJ will get much of a sentence with this mainly because it is a very weak case against him. Because OJ was there but he himself didn't have a gun, makes this a substantially weaker case against him so perhaps he might get very light, if any, sentence I'd think.:shrug:
 
You know karma had to have something to do with it...since it happened on the anniversary of him being acquitted for Nicole's murder. Somewhere Nelson Muntz is saying "HA ha".
 
I wonder if he was actually found guilty of this or is the jury considered it pay back for him getting away with murder in the first criminal trial.

You want to bet? They will fight it forever, but he will be in prison for min. 10 years, that is my guess. I personally think it is overdone, but he deserved it nevertheless. The other guy who got the same sentence got screwed though, he couldn't get a separate trial...

Some of the crimes have minimum penalties and if you add them together, they can make a nice sentence. Now the judge could rule not to be consecutive sentences I guess, but don't dream about housearrest.

Again??? I don't count the verdict in the civil trial because that's double jeopardy.

There is no "again." This was an entirely different set of charges that had absolutely NO connections to the previous trials.

And the concept of double jeopardy does NOT apply to civil trials at all. In fact, there can be several/many civil trials over the same issues - it doesn't matter in the least what has been the outcome of former ones. Double jeopardy applies ONLY in criminal trials - period.

Nonsense. He was tried twice for the same crime.

There is. The OP (happens to be me) didn't state we are talking about the same trial, just that he was found guilty in front of the law, again.

He was also found guilty of unpaid taxes and a Direct TV piracy case, between these highly publicized trials.

If I recall he got away with an attack when a cardriver accused him in FL with road rage and physical abuse...

He got nailed for direct TV piracy?!? Man, people really were on his ass! Has anyone ever been charged with that before?

Nope - these were SEPARATE and distinct charges from all the previous ones. And my reply wasn;t directed to you at all. That's not the same "again" as I was replying to - that silly poster who thinks he was tried more than once on the same criminal charges - which isn't intelligent thinking.

LOL, maybe that's true, but Read-Only is correct. OJ faced a criminal trial and was found not guilty. Faced a civil trial and was found guilty. Only penalty he got was monetary. If he had been found not guilty in this case, the guy could have turned around and sued him in civil court, where again, it would have been a monetary penalty.

No meds here - just trying to talk some sense into someone who is talking pure nonsense.

Are you ready yet to tell us what criminal charges he was chargerd for twice - or admit that you don't know what you were talking about?

Actually, I suspect you don't fully know the difference between criminal and civil cases. Is that your problem?
