Just saw that. 15 years to life. At first I thought, "That sounds harsh for what I've heard about the incident," and then I couldn't help but to think, "Dude, this is karma."

Wow, I didn’t think he would get near that much time!

Quote from CNN.com:
“The jury of nine men and three women, none of them African-American, reached its verdict after 13 hours of deliberations Friday”

Did we really need the African-American comment? So lame.

So how long is the sentence?

Edit: I guess the sentencing comes at a later time?

Correct; he won't be sentenced until early December (the 5th, I believe). The critical issue in the heavy sentence is that he was found guilty on all 12 counts, including kidnapping and armed burglary/robbery (I forget which they used to describe the incident).

My thoughts are with the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. This conviction must cause terrible thoughts and emotions to resurface. What a terrible tragedy...

Sure, but a very, very bittersweet moment indeed. I can't imagine the pain they have endured while this subhuman has escaped justice all this time.

I hope that they can finally have some closure as a result of this conviction.

I'm going to remain silence on whether or not this is "justice" until I see what sentence he gets.

Unfortunately, the ultimate penalty is off the table. It would be nice to strap him to an electric chair or a medical table and give him the "Juice".

Unfortunately, yes we did. There was so much talk last time about race on the jury last time and it appeares to be significant this time too:

Simpson's attorneys pledged to appeal. His longtime lawyer, Yale Galanter, cited jury selection as one basis for a new trial. The defense has charged that prosecutors purposefully excluded African Americans.

From BBC regarding the first trial:
An ABC news poll showed that 83 per cent of blacks agreed with the verdict, compared with just 37 per cent of whites.

It's a real shame that that trial took on a racial overtone because the crime had nothing at all to do with race, nor did the prior calls to the police about his behavior. But his defense included the stunningly stupid prosecutor, Marsha Clark, and the incompetent Lance Ito who lost control of the clowns in his courtroom.

The judge here seems to have been off base a little too, because the jury make-up is a decent appeal for him. And then it will again bring up a whole new race overtone because in spite of the damage it does to society, doing so might possibly help this one moronic individual.

I don't think I understand all the vindictiveness in some of these comments.

Wasn't he a really great football player at one time?

Yes. Unfortunately he played for the Bills. Another reason he should get the death penalty.

Cool I agree. Maybe now the Goldman family can retrieve some of those things OJ's been trying to hide from them all these years...
