Apparently he wasn't "100% not guilty."
Cosmic karma and the need for equilibrium in the universe says this verdict was needed.
The good news from OJ’s perspective is that maybe the real killers will be in the Nevada state slammer and he can continue his search.
Maybe Carson and OJ will play a game of cornhole in prison . . .
. . . since Carson holds an annual cornhole tournament in Cinncinnati every year.
I know about the beanbag game,
but I thought that “cornhole” had a whole different meaning behind bars.
WOW
This was LONG overdue. At least they got him on something. And yes, 71 – he can continue that arduous exhaustive search he has been on for the real killers. What a JOKE.
apparently
the SC Mafia was busy delaying and distracting the NCAA away from Reggie’s trail to come to OJ’s defense again.

Sentence
How much of a Hand Slap is he going to get this time???? He might be just slapping hands off of his hips.
Per Yahoo
Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a mandatory sentence of at least two years behind bars, and could bring as much as 30. Sentencing was set for Dec. 5.

Overheard after the trial
“Who’s a guy gotta kill to get an acquittal around here?”
—- OJ Simpson
No surprise
He didn’t have a Bruin alum to bail him out this time. Ol’ Johnny Cochrane can’t save your lying, cheating, double-murdering U$C ass from the grave there O.J.
O.J., remember, when they tell you to grab their pocket, it’s not a request.
Haha.
When will The Humanitarian, Pete Carroll
extend his condolences to OJ’s family (as opposed to the victims), as he does when other Toejams get busted?
I'm gonna get my memorabiliaz on!!

here’s a link to the original if you’re wondering where this came from:

Always Misunderstood
He was just trying to get some of his property back to sell, so that he could help pay off his civil judgment. And a portion to go to his private investigator who is truly closing in on the real killer of Nicole and Ron.
Scott Ostler
in the S.F. Chronicle today. Three excerpts:
Remember when Simpson vowed to spend the rest of his life looking for the real killers of his ex-wife and her friend? (It’s possible Simpson was misquoted; maybe he vowed to spend the rest of his afternoon.)
Simpson spent most of the next 13 years on the golf course, growing increasingly frustrated with his inability to find killers, suspects, or even promising leads.
It looks like Simpson will spend the next several decades behind bars, pending an appeal, whereupon all bets are off. One thing we know about Simpson is that when he enters a courtroom, logic, justice and rational thinking flee, fighting like the Three Stooges to get through the door.
Now Simpson is in jail, awaiting his sentence, kept in isolation for his own protection. Isolation! How’s he going to find killers if he can’t mingle with the other prisoners?
Life is so unfair.
All I have to say is
they’d better keep him away from the white supremacists in jail…I bet they’ve got a bit of a beef with him…
