Does her presence mean anything at this hearing?

[book]

Does her presence mean anything at this hearing?

IMO you may answer your own question.

[texasgal]

Lot's of people are guilty of things they aren't actually convicted of. Actual guilt and legal guilt are two different things .. imo.

On with the sentencing .......

[Pooh]

HA! Found one.....

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/Global/category.asp?C=5546&nav=menu102_1

They will stream once the sentencing gets underway.....

[llylabrat]

I have been fighting the urge to be HAPPY that he will finally pay for the murders. Have to tell myself that he deserves prison for this armed robbery. Then I said :thumbsup: Heck with it! I am glad he goes to prison and I feel justice is finally being served for both crimes!:thumbsup:

[nsm]

If I was lucky enough to get a couple of seats today...I would gladly give them up to the goldmans.

[texasgal]

I have been fighting the urge to be HAPPY that he will finally pay for the murders. Have to tell myself that he deserves prison for this armed robbery. Then I said :thumbsup: Heck with it! I am glad he goes to prison and I feel justice is finally being served for both crimes!:thumbsup:


Unfortunately, this will be the basis of the defense's appeal .. that there were juror's that still wanted to see him pay for the murders.

I'm glad he's going to serve time. He's a thug.

imo

[rem16]

I wonder if Tru Tv will show it live..........i some how doubt it.

I believe they will be covering it..they talked about it this morning on Lisa's show.

I'm watching the 'E' Hollywood story on the murders.. It's on now.

[nsm]

on cnn's page they said it will begin 10am ET. Must mean PT?

[kellabeck]

I am looking forward to seeing this remorseless, acquitted killer sentenced to a long time behind bars.

JVM last night had two defense attys on to :crying:
waaah waaaah waaaaa! Over how "unfair" this all is. How if he hadn't gotten away with murder (and road rage and stealing direct tv) he wouldn't even have been charged with kidnapping and robbery and blah blah blah. GMAB!

Where is my teeny tiny violin??????

[llylabrat]

Unfortunately, this will be the basis of the defense's appeal .. that there were juror's that still wanted to see him pay for the murders.

I'm glad he's going to serve time. He's a thug.

imo

They would have the gall to do that...The armed robbery case stands on its own. If one doesnt deserve life for armed robbery then change the law. There is proof beyond reasonable doubt he committed an armed robbery. I am personally glad he will finally get some jailtime that he deserved for the murders.

[kellabeck]

I feel a tiny bit of sympathy for CJ Stewart who is little more than a gullible pawn in Simpson's game. Had he been smart, he should have copped a plea and thrown himself on the mercy of the court.

[kellabeck]

Beth Karas is in Las Vegas and reporting!!

[dinojen]

Sentencing begins at 9 AM per www.cbs5.com

[kellabeck]

Jami Floyd, I predict, will be in even higher dudgeon today.

[LindaNJ1216]

I have waited impatiently for ...what 13 yrs to see this?

[lmercer]

Heard on Fox News this morning Kim Goldman may show up for the sentencing.

Book, I am glad to know the info, of course it has something to do with OJ

[Anni]

I hope the Honorable Jackie Glass lays it on him THICK. I was just reading that Vegas courts on not big on running concurrent sentences, so I looks like OJ is in for the long haul, yahhh.

The guys that coped pleas will be sentenced on Tuesday...

Hey MissCandy, where art thou!!!

eta~ Sorry for the typos but ya all know what I mean, its early here yet!!

[lmercer]

Jami Floyd, I predict, will be in even higher dudgeon today.

Ha Ha, I was thinking the very same thing, and it even happens on her show, boy will this be unjust in her mind.

[lmercer]

I hope the Honorable Jackie Glass lays it on him THICK. I was just reading that Vegas courts on not big on running concurrent sentences, so I looks like OJ is in for the long haul, yahhh.

The guys that coped pleas will be sentenced on Tuesday...

Hey MissCandy, where art thou!!!

I think she will, of course Jami floyd will say it is ONLY because it is OJ, not that he deserves it. The Min. is 6 years, Justice delayed, but we all knew it would come back to him somtime.

[Anni]

I think she will, of course Jami floyd will say it is ONLY because it is OJ, not that he deserves it. The Min. is 6 years, Justice delayed, but we all knew it would come back to him somtime.

Oh that Jami Floyd!!

I was reading in the article on MSN something closer to 18 yrs. ?? That would be just fine. ;~)


eta~ did I read somewhere that LV does not give less time served for 'good time'? You do your whole sentence in that state I believe?

[Mr. Moto2]

From all I've read, Glass is hard-nosed. She was the judge in the Craig Titus case, and she tacked on 4 more prison years to what was agreed upon in his plea bargain.

[Anni]

From all I've read, Glass is a hard-nosed judge. She was the judge in the Criag Titus case, she and tacked on 4 more prison years to what was agreed upon in his plea bargain.

I saw that snoopin round the other day. Gosh all I can figure is that LV doesnt have the death penalty(?) because if anyone deserves it, those two do. What a horrible crime that was. Uggg...

I wish there were more Jackies Glass's in the justice system. Kudos to her.

Sorry for the kinda o/t!!!

[AnnInOhio]

I think she will, of course Jami floyd will say it is ONLY because it is OJ, not that he deserves it. The Min. is 6 years, Justice delayed, but we all knew it would come back to him somtime.

Well duh! It WILL be only because it is OJ. The part Jami can't bring herself to admit is that OJ is a thug who has broken the law, just like untold numbers of other John Q. Publics. In spite of what Jami thinks and says, OJ has been judged not by the color of his skin, but by his content of his character. Now its time for him to trot off to prison, where thugs belong.

YW. Hope the Goldman's finally have some kind of closure. :wub:

AnninOhio, I don't agree that is is only because it is OJ, That is what I was saying, the rest of your statement is absolutely right on, he will be going to prison because he was found GUILTY of a crime, not because he is OJ.

[Anni]

Someone ust told me there are only 15 seats in the courtroom for on lookers. BUT Fred Goldman did just get in...

[Pooh]

I see they've brought in the piece of scum in his prison blues....

[Pooh]

All rise!! Here we go all!!

[nsm]

its .on fox news and also ESPN Why is he grinning and looking so cocky????

[Pooh]

Grant him bail??!! Is Yale kidding??? What about the convictions does he not get? Makes me so mad.

[Anni]

I see they've brought in the piece of scum in his prison blues....

Credit to Jackie Glass!!! He asked for a suit, she said no!!! LOL

[Regina.Lampert]

Ha! simpson is trying to appear cocky, but he's actually shaking in his flip flops, as well he should be. He's going down BIG TIME.

[Pooh]

Ha! simpson is trying to appear cocky, but he's actually shaking in his flip flops, as well he should be. He's going down BIG TIME.

Agreed. Judge Glass is just going through the motions but it'll come. We just need to be patient. I'm glad Mr. Goldman is there. Have you seen Dominick Dunne in the gallery?

[DebinNv]

Goldman's are there!!

[rem16]

Defense says OJ has had "steady empoyment and is now indigent". LIE!
He has a huge pension and if he had steady empoyment it is owed to the Goldmans!

I believe that was Stewart's attorney..the guy who got swept up in OJ's cr*p.

[Chelle]

i love that suit OJ's wearing :thumbsup:

[logbump]

Hi Snow....good point!

Me too! Nice color!!

[Regina.Lampert]

Sadly, I don't think DD's health allowed him to come and see the end of this saga. Bet he's watching it on tv along with us tho.

[book]

Wanting bail while waiting for appeals. Denied, judge believes them to both be flight risks.

Stewart's attorney wanted his sentencing severed from Simpson's because Goldman's in court room. Denied.

[AnnInOhio]

I don't see Sydney or Justin there. I'm not sure I'd recognize Jason anymore. It strikes me odd that Arnelle is always the only child there at OJ's side. Prody must not have had enough money for plane fare.

[Chelle]

Sadly, I don't think DD's health allowed him to come and see the end of this saga. Bet he's watching it on tv along with us tho.

I don't think DD will be with us much longer and he will be truly missed :(

[lmercer]

I don't see Sydney or Justin there. I'm not sure I'd recognize Jason anymore. It strikes me odd that Arnelle is always the only child there at OJ's side. Prody must not have had enough money for plane fare.

Also OJ did not Murder her mom.

[Pooh]

I don't think DD will be with us much longer and he will be truly missed :(

Amen. What a great man he is.

[kellabeck]

Personally, I prefer Simpson in orange. But I do like the jewelry!!

[Pooh]

Who is that guy that looks like Red Skelton behind Yale?

[kellabeck]

No "Just For Men" in county lock-up, huh?? Domage!!

:rolleyes:

[AnnInOhio]

Oh Gabe! "They've known each other for years". If OJ and the victims were such buds, why didn't OJ call 'em up and ask "hey, friends, have you seen any of my "stolen" stuff floating out there in the market & will you help me get it back?"

[Pooh]

OK dude - sit the hell down. She ain't listenin.....

[Lyndawitha"Y]

OOOOLA....Grasso is up to 16 years..hummmmmtimes two..consecutive..sounds good to me.:biggrin:

LMS

[AnnInOhio]

Judge Mathis had a case where a woman had rushed past a homeowner into her home and grabbed up her dog that the homeowner was refusing to return to her. Mathis said that she had a perfect right to do that. She could see her property and had a right to go right in and get it. Then he said "of course if you do it with a a gun and hold everyone hostage like OJ you get convicted of armed robbery". I'm surprised. I didn't think that going into someones home without calling the police is illegal - even without the guns. But she won the case.

Bear in mind that judge Mathis on TV handles civil cases, not criminal ones! Perhaps his understand of the law explains why!

[bearwds]

Mornin' folks....

Just woke up. My, my there is finally some justice even though LA jury screwed up. Guilty of this crime and nice to see him looking so well.


bearwds

[lmercer]

LOVE the Prody comment; when the gravy train ended, she took a powder (and probably DID!)... Yes, Arnelle is the Cordelia of the family, tho OJ does NOT make a good King Lear. I think (JMO) Justin is really hurt and, after losing one parent, doesn't want/need to watch this. I feel Sydney knows he killed her mom, and is done with him. GOD what a lot of hurt he has brought upon all these poor kids!

Can you imagine him leaving their mother like that for them to see, should they have gotten there berfore the cops

[bchand]

Now we're getting a civil war lesson?

[book]

WHY is grasso [??] talking about the end of the civil war?

[AnnInOhio]

OK dude - sit the hell down. She ain't listenin.....

ITA. Her face says she's hearing "wah wah wah" l

[Pooh]

OMG! This dude must be friends with Darren Mack - talking about the Civil War??? LOL

[logbump]

:confused: What is this??????

[RayStar]

I thought that was breaking and entering or trespassing. It was a strange case. I wonder if that applies in many states. OJ and his friends messed up big time.

[bchand]

OMG! This dude must be friends with Darren Mack - talking about the Civil War??? LOL

and didn't they say this would be "beyond brief"?

[AnnInOhio]

WHY is grasso [??] talking about the end of the civil war?

Duh! He's trying to subliminally play the race card!

[Chelle]

Now we're getting a civil war lesson?

This is crazy LMBO
are they stalling or what

[apocalypse]

My gosh...now his attorney is invoking the civil war and slavery in 1865. Oh Puhlease.....give me a break. This is 2008, dummy. Now he is quoting Lincoln..."let em off easy." Huh? What does this have to do with anything.

[Pooh]

:confused: What is this??????
I think he thinks he's a history teacher and has completely forgotten he went to law school and is supposed to be representing a client.

[Chelle]

OMG look at the Judges face LMBO

[apocalypse]

The judge is shaking her head...she ain't buying it.

[AnnInOhio]

Duh! He's trying to subliminally play the race card!

Gabe's point? At the end of the civil war...everybody got to keep their stuff and the black guys were set free!

[Chelle]

OMG he wants to talk :ohmy:

[apocalypse]

OJ is going to speak! He must be desperate.

[Pooh]

Yale has a heart? :biggrin:

[Chelle]

Fox News is the only station that stayed with the 'history lesson.'

Tru Tv is lol............OMG now they are "sucking up" LMBo

[bchand]

Fox News is the only station that stayed with the 'history lesson.'

InSessions (TruTV) is carrying it too.

Here comes Yale !! Kissing up to the judge now. (AND trying to run the court to the end. Judge Glass told him how it WILL be done.)

[AnnInOhio]

Yale sucking up??? Really???

[logbump]

[QUOTE=LandSharkII©;12495479]Fox News is the only station that stayed with the 'history lesson.'[/QUOTEBelieve it or not ,INsession stayed too

[BobbysGirl]

HI I forgot all about the sentence today. Been offline for quite some time.

Watching on Trutv. OJ does not look well. Looks guant, older. He appears to be mumbling to self. Praying maybe?

Justice will be served.

I like the Judge. No nonsense. Direct. Tough.

[AnnInOhio]

Judge Glass is raising the him if her robe...it's getting deep.

[apocalypse]

Look at the judges face. She is almost smirking in disgust.

[Chelle]

OJ is going to speak! He must be desperate.

I want him to stand up and be a man and turn the Goldmans and say" i'm sorry i killed your son and brother"...........but some how he will blame EVERYONE for EVERYTHING.

[iluvmua]

Give OJ life in prison, throw the book at him.

what goes around comes around and payback is a witch. :)

[Pooh]

Nice try, Yale. He's already BEEN convicted. The jury declared what he did WAS criminal. This is sentencing. Let her sentence him already!!! Ugh!

[bchand]

Oh man... it's been so long since I watched that channel in the daytime I forgot they cover stuff like this. Sometimes.

and you gotta be careful because they may go to commercial..... during the actual sentencing !!:glare:

[AnnInOhio]

I think Yale's right on the edge of thoroughly ticking off the judge!

[Chelle]

Oh man... it's been so long since I watched that channel in the daytime I forgot they cover stuff like this. Sometimes.

i'm honestly shocked Tru Tv's covering it. i'm still shocked they didn't cover the Phil Spector part two trial :(

[Pooh]

I can't wait to hear what Judge Glass has to say to these idiots once they finally shut their pie holes.

[apocalypse]

Galanter is a terrible attorney...even OJ is squirming in his seat. The stuff he is saying is making it worse. He isn't even a good speaker. Look at the family? Who is the redhead? Is that his former secretary back in the day of the murder trial?

[book]

Yale: Stupid isn't criminal [paraphr]

Goes on to speak about what was truly their intent? Did Mr. Simpson mean to harm or rob. No.

This is where stupidity comes in. In Mr. Simpson's mind it was a retrieval of his own property.

This wasn't a planned or evil act.

[only typing what Yale is saying]

[AnnInOhio]

Ya know, sometimes people get emotionally wrapped up and do stupid things. You know, slit a woman's throat, slash a man to death. Stuff happens. OJ's sorry, so let him go home and hide some more of his assets from Mr. Goldman, ok?

[logbump]

OJ is going to get his turn next

[Pooh]

Yale talking about how stupid O.J. is... it's almost worth the price of admission.

Yeah - and we all know how EMOTIONAL oj is.....he murdered because of his "emotions".

[apocalypse]

commercial. bad judgment. Jamie must be at the controls.

[bchand]

I think Yale's right on the edge of thoroughly ticking off the judge!

AND, if OJ is going to speak, why is Yale saying how remorseful OJ is? Let him speak for himself.

[MiamiNice1]

So true, LandShark!

Yale saying it wasn't "criminal" and wasn't "planned" - Huh?!

WHat a good brown-nosing job Yale is doing - referring to the Prosecution as "these fine lawyers."

imo

[st777jo]

There is a lot of stupid people in jail. Yo Yale, should they all be left out to be stupid again?
jmo, jo

[BobbysGirl]

Galanter needs to shut up, sit down and let the Judge get on. She looks bored as heck.

How many times can G say stupidity and stupid? LOL

[book]

OJ Simpson to talk next.

I'm sorry.
Confused.
Apology to the state of Nevada.
I came here for a wedding.
I didn't plan it.
I called my kids and the Brown family and had a chance to get some of our family property back.
We called the police to ask what to do.
I knew these guys.
Had no hatred for Mike Gilbert.
Yes I yelled at Bruce and Beardsley---I've forgiven them.
I did request Mr. Stewart to help me to remove my things.
If they wouldn't allow us to remove them, I would have called the police.
I believe it was my fault they were there.
I've talked to police officers.
and so on

[bchand]

commercial. bad judgment. Jamie must be at the controls.

I told ya they'd do it !!!

My backup:

http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream1

[AnnInOhio]

Yale says I know OJ better than anybody else in this courtroom because I've defended him for such a long time??? No, OJ doesn't have a criminal mind!

[MiamiNice1]

So NOW OJ is volunteering to speak? OJ, Why didn't you speak at your LAST trial? :cursing:

[Pooh]

He's gonna CRY now???? Oh PLEASE!

[Chelle]

He's Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrry
awwwwwwww poor OJ :lol:

[Kara]

I think Yale's right on the edge of thoroughly ticking off the judge!

Nah...I think Yale is offering some pretty good emotional arguments. I ain't buying them...but I do think Yale is offering a pretty good argument.

Do I believe that OJ had the "innocent" mindset that is being argued?? "L"-no!!

But I do believe defense counsel is arguing effectively...or as effectively as is possible with OJ as a defendant.....

[Beachgranny]

Sorry you got caught, you mean.

[Chelle]

He's gonna CRY now???? Oh PLEASE!

uh huh someone pass the boy a tissue and send his "SORRY" butt to jail.

[Pooh]

Is he gonna cry?

Oh man... he's gonna cry in the cell.

he said he called the Brown's to tell them he found some of his property. What???

[AnnInOhio]

OJ called and told everybody what he planned to do - oh, except the Goldmans!

[bearwds]

Thus...he speaketh

Poor OJ


bearwds

[Pooh]

uh huh someone pass the boy a tissue and send his "SORRY" butt to jail.

:beer: Post haste!!

[MiamiNice1]

It's ALWAYS about OJ. No tears or remorse for Nicole or Ron. Only tears for HIMSELF.

imo

[BobbysGirl]

OJ up there. Sorry and "somewhat confused"?

TRUTV went to commercial...Fox news on.

Best to have backups, since I have dial up and can't get live stream.

[AnnInOhio]

I'm so glad to know OJ has forgiven his victims!

[Lyndawitha"Y]

Do ya think????Tears...remorse...gone are the laughter from the Buddah lounge...What a weeny..This is the first time in his dispicable life he is being held accountable for his nasty attitude..and vindictive mindset...His stuff..Yikes!!!

LMS:sneaky::glare:

[logbump]

And this is an apology?:cursing:

[CANDYKISSES]

FGS, OJ thinks he is a kid...telling the judge he's been coming there for years, WORKED:bored:for his uncle, NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE IN NEVADA....it must be good for him there. :rolleyes:

Lord, he's over the edge IMO. What a little story he tells, or as some would say....WEB HE WEAVES...

Goldman is not a happy camper...:scared:

[apocalypse]

Now he defends himself. Why didn't he do it during the trial? This is PR and desperation. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Weeepppppppppp. Moan.

[AnnInOhio]

Please your honor! I don't wanna be somebody's prison beech!

[MiamiNice1]

He's sounding more pathetic the longer he speaks.

Give it up, OJ and take your punishment like a MAN and be GRATEFUL you're not facing the DEATH PENALTY for your real crime - the murders of Ron and Nicole!

IMO

[book]

OJ continued:
Just wanted my stuff back.
Didn't realize it was illegal to get his own stuff back.
Stewart the only person I asked to come with me.
I'm sorry.

[ruth66]

There goes the tough guy persona!!!!

[bchand]

He's sounding more pathetic the longer he speaks.

Give it up, OJ and take your punishment like a MAN and be GRATEFUL you're not facing the DEATH PENALTY for your real crime - the murders of Ron and Nicole!

IMO

Great point !!:thumbup:

[nsm]

Boo hooo....its so nice to see OJ cower. lol

[Kara]

Nah...I think Yale is offering some pretty good emotional arguments. I ain't buying them...but I do think Yale is offering a pretty good argument.

Do I believe that OJ had the "innocent" mindset that is being argued?? "L"-no!!

But I do believe defense counsel is arguing effectively...or as effectively as is possible with OJ as a defendant.....
Okay...somebody should have gagged OJ. I was somewhat sympathetic before he opened his mouth!!!!!!!!!!!

[warhorse46]

Well OJ made it through his speal without busting out in tears but I was about to puke the whole time he was pleading.

[Pooh]

Just wanted my stuff back.
Didn't realize it was illegal to get his own stuff back.
Stewart the only person I asked to come with me.
I'm sorry.

He knew because he was told by counsel that it was illegal. That statement was a lie. Still lying in court. Doesn't surprise anyone.

[Beachgranny]

Are the Goldman's there, or are they in a TV studio somewhere?

[Pooh]

I'm guessing nine year sentence.

Anyone else gonna make a guess?

I think 15 years minimum

[bchand]

Are the Goldman's there, or are they in a TV studio somewhere?

They are both there (behind the prosecution).

[Pooh]

Are the Goldman's there, or are they in a TV studio somewhere?

Ron's dad and sister are there in the courtroom.

[callmetree]

ok.... did anybody besides me hear the fear in his (can't say his name) voice? did he expect sympathy? :cool:

[Beachgranny]

I'm guessing nine year sentence.

Anyone else gonna make a guess?



Seven to ten, but out in about 4 due to time served and good behavior.

[bchand]

I'm guessing nine year sentence.

Anyone else gonna make a guess?


Well if his own attorney is asking for 16 yrs., why should the judge go lower? (Didn't Gabe ask for 16 yrs?)

[Mr. Moto2]

LOL.. the judge is sipping on a Big Gulp.

[callmetree]

Seven to ten

not going to guess but HOPE he gets the max!:tongue:

[warhorse46]

Are the Goldman's there, or are they in a TV studio somewhere?


They are in the courtroom. The camera got a shot of them.

[JBL]

Mr Jones is the best person to articulate on behalf of CJ


ROFL (oh my sides)

[MiamiNice1]

Well if his own attorney is asking for 16 yrs., why should the judge go lower? (Didn't Gabe ask for 16 yrs?)
Hi bchand!

I heard Yale ask for the "6 years, the minimum of the range."

[logbump]

Six years not sixteen per Grasso

[Pooh]

Heck no!

Six years, I believe. The minimum.

That's what I heard as well.

[JBL]

i'm guessing nine year sentence.

Anyone else gonna make a guess?


8 - 10 rofl

[CANDYKISSES]

And this is an apology?:cursing:

NOT so much IYKWIM :unsure:

[MiamiNice1]

LOL - the "multiple health problems" didn't deter him from committing a crime. <roll eyes!>

[bchand]

Heck no!

Six years, I believe. The minimum.

Ok, my mistake.

(My hubby is in Vegas watching this on a big screen somewhere. I expect to get a phone call as soon as we get the sentence.) I'll ask him what the odds where on sentencing.

[Lyndawitha"Y]

Are the Goldman's there, or are they in a TV studio somewhere?

:thumbsup:

[callmetree]

Heck no!

Six years, I believe. The minimum.

come on sharky... make me feel good and guess higher:biggrin:

[psbperu]

Do ya think????Tears...remorse...gone are the laughter from the Buddah lounge...What a weeny..This is the first time in his dispicable life he is being held accountable for his nasty attitude..and vindictive mindset...His stuff..Yikes!!!

LMS:sneaky::glare:

ITA....time he accepts responsibility for his actions especially when he has never accepted responsibility for the two young people in his life over the years. Most of his behavior since he got off in the murder trial of his wife has been self-destructive.

If he thought that ridiculous plea he just made would tug at my heartstrings...he has another think coming & I daresay there are many others who feel the same way.

[Kara]

I think 15 years minimum

I agree...and I would have sentenced a 6+years term...

[book]

He knew because he was told by counsel that it was illegal. That statement was a lie. Still lying in court. Doesn't surprise anyone.

I know was just quoting what OJ said.

[Beachgranny]

Whoa, Geraldo! I've never heard Geraldo speak like this about OJ.

[logbump]

Ok, my mistake.

(My hubby is in Vegas watching this on a big screen somewhere. I expect to get a phone call as soon as we get the sentence.) I'll ask him what the odds where on sentencing.
Were there Odds:w00t:

[JBL]

Good GAWD

OJ's apology for dragging in the others _ they were volunteers!

As close as it can get to Yale pulling a Geragos and calling his client STOOOOOPID (anyone count?) 14k Stoooopid I'll take that as.

[Pooh]

I know was just quoting what OJ said.

Oh, I know you were. This man just infuriates me to no end! :wink:

[bchand]

Were there Odds:w00t:

There are odds on EVERYTHING in Vegas. lol

LS - no, I'm sure he didn't.

[Beachgranny]

Does anyone know how how the younger kids, Sydney & Justin are doing.....and where they are?

[callmetree]

I guessed nine years. :thumbup:

you are no fun... i want him to go away for as long as possible:sneaky:

[AnnInOhio]

Mr Jones is the best person to articulate on behalf of CJ


ROFL (oh my sides)

And I was afraid you were going to miss this! Silly me!

[lmercer]

You would think these two are the victims, poor babies

[MiamiNice1]

I'm guessing 8-10.

Judge looks reeeeallly BORED! Mind already made up? lol!

[lmercer]

Delay delay delay

[fbgweezer]

wonder why the lawyer didn't put that poem to rap?

[Pooh]

wonder why the lawyer didn't put that poem to rap?

LOL! Really! :lol:

[callmetree]

wonder why the lawyer didn't put that poem to rap?

:biggrin: now that would be funny.

[MiamiNice1]

Hey Stewart, look up and look the judge in the eyes and look like you really mean it - did you not learn anything from OJ?!

[JBL]

And I was afraid you were going to miss this! Silly me!

Just thinking about you myself *waves* (and that articulate vid clip) ROFL!

Miss it! NO WAY!

[st777jo]

I'm guessing 8-10.

Judge looks reeeeallly BORED! Mind already made up? lol!

I agree

8 - 10 OJ

5 - 7 Stewart

[Pooh]

I think that even if they get more than 10 years they will be out in about 6. Gotta admit I feel a little sorry for Stewart. His case should have been severed.
I kinda feel sorry for Stewart too. Maybe the judge will go easy on him.

[MiamiNice1]

I feel the same way! What was Stewart thinking attaching his star to OJs?!

[Becky10]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:cursing:

Beardsley & Fromong should be in jail too. They set up OJ>

Becky in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!:patriot:

[lmercer]

Lye with Dogs you get fleas CJ

[book]

I'm guessing 8-10.

Judge looks reeeeallly BORED! Mind already made up? lol!

IMO her mind was made up before they started speaking.

[callmetree]

I want a lengthy sentence... say twenty years at least.

I'm just guessing what the judge will end up giving him. :wink:

good to hear!:thumbsup:

[MiamiNice1]

I agree

8 - 10 OJ

5 - 7 Stewart
Yes, I feel Stewart will receive a little less.

[Kara]

I can find much mercy for Stewart...but I would be more sympathetic if he were speaking from the heart instead of reading this crappy/stilted statement.

[Beachgranny]

I missed it ....what did he say? TIA

RE:Geraldo

He said that after being acquitted in Los Angeles, that he should have gone to Calcutta and worked with Mother Teresa, but instead he became a "wh0re monger and thug and flaunted his life around"....not an exact quote..... (not sure you can say that here....so I used a "zero"...which also fits). He also said he should have pleaded guilty with the others and taken it like a man. I'm sure there was more, but I came in at the end of his rant.

[MiamiNice1]

IMO her mind was made up before they started speaking.
It has to be, right? Wonder how much these pleas actually change any judge's mind?

[texasgal]

a little play by play for those of us who can't get the video would be great!!!

:wub:

[Becky10]

Beardsley & Fromong need to be in Jail.

Beardsley is the biggest loooooooooooooooser & fraud guy I have ever seen :cursing:

Becky In Texas:patriot:

[fbgweezer]

he 'may' lose his home and cars? welcome to America 2008. you know, orenthal could offer his home in Florida to stewart's family.

[bchand]

I can find much mercy for Stewart...but I would be more sympathetic if he were speaking from the heart instead of reading this crappy/stilted statement.

I agree Kara, and the longer it goes, the worse it's getting.

I'm expecting to hear -

And I would like to thank the Academy .....

[callmetree]

I kinda feel sorry for Stewart too. Maybe the judge will go easy on him.

i feel the same way about stewart. he's guilty of being stupid:lol:

[fbgweezer]

stewart just thanked orenthal and his attorneys? geez

[Pooh]

OMG first time i've ever said this but i agree with Geraldo.

Me too. Geraldo HATES oj. Plain and simple. And he makes no bones about it.

[Becky10]

HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Beardsley Set up OJ. Do you all remember he had the tape recorder.

Helloooooooooooooooo Beardsley is a Scoundrel.

Becky In Texas:patriot:

[fbgweezer]

I just stood up and applauded -- did anybody else?

[Lyndawitha"Y]

I think watching these two..both OJ and Clarence have never ever had to beg for mercy in their entire lives!! finally get a taste of what they especially OJ has put others through..and yepppp..they should be nervous..Justice will be served...Any successes in OJ's life stems from his usage of Lawyers..who kept him solvent throughout the years...
Not because he was a good man..good father..good partner..or put his heart into anything!..Greed drove OJ..Clarence was stupid to follow such a greedy..manipulator!!

LMS

[MiamiNice1]

WHOA! Tell it, Judge!!!!!!!!

Judge saying that she thought OJ wanted those (his) things, not for the reason he gave, but to keep it out of the Goldman's hands and that OJ called them the "Gold Diggers!"

omg.

[Kara]

Judge Jackie speaks!! :)

[Pooh]

Here he goes with the facial expressions again. Sorry OJ - this judge has your number. And it's just come up.....

[Kara]

WHOA! Tell it, Judge!!!!!!!!
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[texasgal]

don't forget us video-less folks!!! :smile:

[bchand]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh she's gonna come down HARD (i think)...........

Holy Moly - he referred to the Goldman's as the Golddiggers! That was then, this is now.

I'm shocked that she referred to the Goldman's.

[Squeekie]

I like this judge. "We heard it all."

[Becky10]

Ooooops Thomas Riccio.

not Beardsley -- sorry --

[ruth66]

The look on Simpson's face is priceless. He went from poor, poor me to anger!!!

[fbgweezer]

is that william hodgeman behind Fred Goldman?

[Beachgranny]

I love this Judge. I'll bet Fred Goldman could kiss her!

[bchand]

The look on Simpson's face is priceless. He went from poor, poor me to anger!!!


He sure did ruth. All pretense is now gone !!

[Becky10]

Riccio set up OJ.

[MiamiNice1]

Judge: There were a lot of you big guys in that little bitty room. It was a very violent event, not just "give me back those things."

Judge: It is rare for a judge to have everything before them (video, OJ's own words and testimoney) If gun had gone off and bullets had gone flying, not only would many be hurt in the room, even others in the hotel would have been hurt. This is why Rules in Nevada say you cannot take back your own property or anyone else's property back by force. When you take a gun with you and men with you to show in a show of force - that's not just a "hey give me my stuff back" - that is something else and that is something else and why we a re all here....

[Beachgranny]

What channel are you watching that is showing the Goldmans?

[callmetree]

Ummm.... I might have to up my guess a few years.

Twelve to sixteen years. My new guess.

YES!:thumbsup:

[Becky10]

If this was not OJ -- this trial & the sentencing would not be that great.

People are just out to get OJ.

TruTV is showing it live and it's here:

[MiamiNice1]

Judge throwing OJs words in a phone call to Riccio back at him - "there was no gun, there was no gun...." OJ commenting to attorney looking confused as if that didn't happen!

Judge: Mr. Stewart, you got caught up in something and I'm not sure how to lecture you.

[book]

don't forget us video-less folks!!! :smile:

she talks about showing remorse after spending 64 days in jail?

But what she learned through all the tapes were:

This was a planned event
The laughter
The joking
Did you see the look on his face
Isn't this funny

'you knew what was going on there'

In other words you knew exactly what you were up to, just thought you could get away with it just because you were in Vegas.

[callmetree]

If this was not OJ -- this trial & the sentencing would not be that grea.

People are just out to get OJ.

Becky In Texas:patriot:

and you have a problem with that?:blink:

[warhorse46]

Woo hoo Judge Glass is ripping OJ a new one! You go Judge Glass!

[Becky10]

The Goldman's are just as much of Gold Diggers than anyone else

Becky In Texas:patriot:

[DebinNv]

Simpson's in trouble!! I think 17.5 years.

[MiamiNice1]

Wow, the way OJ looks! He KNOWS his goose is cooked!

[Becky10]

The People who set up OJ are ------> Scoundrels

Those Scoundrels should be in Jail toooooooooooooo

<<People are just out to get OJ.>>
If you mean I want to see a convicted criminal receive punishment for his crimes then yes I guess you could say I am out to get OJ.

[Beachgranny]

Every channel I've turned to has shown the Goldmans.

Fox. TRUtv. MSNBC. CNN. ESPN.


I must be switching around too much! Thanks all!

[Pooh]

The People who set up OJ are ------> Scoundrels

Those Scoundrels should be in Jail toooooooooooooo

Becky in Texas:patriot:

Only those people who commited a criminal act should be in jail. If OJ was dumb enough to get caught up in his "emotions" that's HIS fault. Not Riccio's..

[Squeekie]

For those at work that want to see a screenshot of simpson cnn headline news - take a look - (what a face!!)

I bet the Goldman's will speak to the press after all is said and done. That will be interesting!

The scoundrel that set this up is in jail and is getting sentenced today

OJ Simpson

[MiamiNice1]

Judge: This is not retribution or payback for anything in the past. I cannot ignore the behavior, the law was broken, gun used, potential for harm was great, property was stolen, jury convicted you and now I'll sentence you.

Stand up Mr. Stewart and Mr. Simpson.

[Pooh]

I was right! 15 years!! :beer:

[bchand]

I hope someone is good at math !!

[MiamiNice1]

OMG - if this is for Stewart, imagine what OJ is getting!!!

[ruth66]

I hope someone is good at math !!

I ran out of fingers....ugh

[Pinetree]

dang...how many years is this??

[MiamiNice1]

Stewart looks resigned - yet calm and at peace!

Now Simpson!

[Pooh]

OMG - if this is for Stewart, imagine what OJ is getting!!!

Oh crap - I thought she was addressing OJ! She gave Stewart 15 years on the kidnapping charge? I didn't think she'd do that.

[book]

Stewarts sentencing are all concurrent?

[FREEMORE]

If this was not OJ -- this trial & the sentencing would not be that great.

People are just out to get OJ.

Becky In Texas:patriot:
ITA if OJ weren't here we would not even know of this case. Stewart is getting a raw deal.

[texasgal]

what's she saying?? huh? huh?

[Beachgranny]

Finally!!!

[Pooh]

Fifteen Years!!!

Fixed term.

FINALLY! I bet the Goldman's are happy too.

[MiamiNice1]

Mr. Goldman can hardly contain himself from crying.

Kim Goldman closing eyes hard and rocking, crying.

[Lyndawitha"Y]

Man oh man...all those terms..concurrent and consecutive..cant figure it out..Me dumb dumb..my cakcukator is useess!!

BTW..I am so glad to see the smirk rubbed off of OJ's face!!

[warhorse46]

16 years, the gun enhancement carries a mandatory 1 year extra.

[book]

So what is the total? All the min to max 30-60 months was confusing.

[bchand]

Heck I can't do math! Man she really handed it to Stewart; does anyone know the MINIMUM amt. of time he'll spend behind bars? Does he have a crim. record? TIA.


Jack Ford just said they figured it's 15 yrs with a minimum of 6 yrs before they are eligible for parole.


Other good news is the sentencing went so long that Jamie Floyd didn't get a chance for her "last word". lolol

[warhorse46]

Both of them will serve 6 years. They could come up for parole in 5 but the gun enhancement adds a mandatory year to that.

[nsm]

HOLLA!!!! justice was served!!

LOLOL! A good day all around! :thumbsup:

[AnnInOhio]

Five years must be served.

Minimum of 6 years...add 1 for the gun specification I think
