OJ Guilty

O.J. Simpson is going to prison.

A predominantly white, predominantly female jury has found the former NFL All Star guilty of all of the 12 robbery, kidnapping and weapons charges he faced following a run-in last year with a pair of memorabilia dealers.

His co-accused, Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, was also found guilty of all charges and will do jail time.

Simpson, 61, and Stewart, 54, may spend the rest of their lives in prison. The two charges of kidnapping with use of a deadly weapon, of which they were both convicted, carry a possible life sentence with no parole for five years.

Simpson’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, said he and his client knew there was a good chance the jury would find Simpson guilty. “You would have to be living on another planet to realize this was not a possibility,” he said during an impromptu press conference tonight.

Tonight’s decision comes 13 years to the day after another jury declared Simpson not guilty in the double-murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

About a year after the arrest, OJ has been convicted. He is guilty. Finally. …for stealing back some shit he had to sell in order to finance his innocence during the 1990s.

He stands to spend up to 60 years in prison, although the sentencing won’t occur until December.

This one is weird, since we all know he’s a murderer too. Is this justice? Sortof, but not really.
