It seems that his feeling of invincibility has disappeared in a Las Vegas courtroom instead of a Los Angeles one.
A broken O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to as many as 33 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, "It was much more than stupidity." The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced as Judge Jackie Glass rattled off the punishment. Moments before, Simpson made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, simultaneously apologizing for the holdup as a foolish mistake and trying to justify his actions.
That means potentially OJ will be in prison until he is 94. I think there is some karma at work when someone beats a double murder rap only to be convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping only 13 years later. I think the worst part for OJ is that he will have to be kept in solitary or some Las Vegas inmate will shank him to get on the news.
