From Fox News.....
O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to at least 15 years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping in a failed attempt to recover sports memorabilia from two collectibles dealers.
There will be the possibility of parole after six years, Judge Jackie Glass said.
His co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart received the same sentence.
Before the judge handed down his sentence, Simpson apologized to her and the Las Vegas court after learning he won't be able to be freed on bail if he appeals.
Simpson appeared at the hearing in a blue prison jumpsuit, shackles and handcuffs.
It was as if O.J. was looking and waiting.....
For Johnnie Cochran to come running into the court room with a last ditch effort to keep him out of jail.
It didn't happen.......For one, Mr. Cochran (God rest his soul) is dead......And this was Las Vegas.......not Los Angeles.
We all knew Simpson was guilty of two counts of murder back in 1994........but he and his "Dream Team" of lawyers beat the system that for generations had beaten the black man.
This case was different..........No Court TV........No fan fare........just the law versus the evidence versus the defense. And the defense lost.
Let's hope Mr. Simpson ceases to make any more headlines and lives a peaceful and quiet life in that gray-bar hotel.
