O.J. Simpson fights for his freedom in Nevada

Leave them both in jail. It is where they belong.

O.J.Simpson and Mr Stewart was railroad to say the least, it was very funny at the time of the trial, Judge Glass had all ready made up her mine who side she was on, it is very strange that a person would go to jail for trying to recover his on things, also everyone was giving a deal by the state prosecution except simpson and stewart this case was a direct indictment on his last case,i fell this was a poor example of the justice system.

I'm tired of this guy.
Leave him in jail.

This wouldn't be the only or first trial involving Mr. Simpson that was a "sham." How's it feel to finally be on the receiving end?

They should be released during the appeal process because everyone knows OJ was going to be convicted NO MATTER WHAT! There's a reason the NV suppreme court is even considering this and it's because THEY know it was a sham trial too.

Let them rot. Waste of time and money.

Just goes to show you what happens when the system decides you need to be put away. Justice is blind, and in the US it's also foolish and relentless.

Karma is a boomerang, OJ; deal with it.

This man should not be released. He has to pay for his previous crime and if this is the only way to get justice, so be it.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Keep em locked up! They deserve it.

this guy got what he deserved... he mocked our system and the families of the victims that he brutally murdered. I hope he rots in jail an old man!!!

i think he should be free he might be guilty but the whole case was stage the judges made the court room look like her own side show 2 say o.j we got u this time he should get out on appear

leave him locked up. he is guilty.

O.J. got away with 2 counts of murder. Let him stay in jail where he belongs now.

you're right – for murder, but wait....do believe oj was found not guilty and that my friend should be that. period. he'll get his in the end.

No. They deserve to be where they are. OJ should have been there years ago.

Good to see there is a fair trial in America for everyone except O.J. Simpson. Pray you never find that anyone who steals from you ends up in Nevada. The police there won't do anything to help bring the thieves to justice.

No reason for O.J. to be in jail, all he did was try to get HIS stuff back!! all that dumb judge tried to do was reward the Goldmans, it's all about money with Freddy Goldman, hey Fred, all the money in the world won't bring your son back, Give it up!!

Why is this article trying to make me feel sorry for these guys?
"Oh no, the trial was confusing! That NEVER happens, it's clearly unjust." Life is cut and dry, so naturally every court session should be too.
"Oh no, the 62 year old defendant doesn't act like a young man anymore!" Clearly, anyone who doesn't socialize and act youthful doesn't belong in jail. Cut him loose!
"Oh no, he can't make himself breakfast! What's that you say? Jail is HARD?" Quick, let him out, he's learned his lesson.
This is not a complicated issue. OJ and his buddies busted into a hotel room, armed with guns, then threatened people. He admitted it, then apologized for it. A "frustrating" trial doesn't make any of them less culpable.
Note to OJ and Stewart: The best way to not go to jail is to not go barging into hotel rooms with a loaded weapon. Period.

Bigger than life was OJ. Now what is left is only the Pulp. He finally got squeezed!

Well, I hope I don't have the watch a press conference on TV of the president ranting about the stupidity of the Las Vegas courts putting away OJ and that he should be released due to racial profiling ...next thing we know...we'll be seeing OJ, the prez and the female judge at the white house having beer, Chardonnay and a Corona with Lime with Sottomayer.

Why is OJ upset in jail...can't he find any "Nicole" male look-alikes?

Don't the media ever get tired of giving this murderer space??
Let him ROT in jail..that's more than he gave Nicole & Ron..He has already given more air than he deserves!!

You're right, Lee.

I've never seen a fairer judge than Judge Glass.

Let the verdict stand for these miscreants.

I can't believe we're still wasting space, time, energy and taxpayer money debating whether this monster goes free. Was the court prejudiced against him when they sent Simpson to jail? Who cares. This is a DOUBLE MURDERER who got away with it because people were prejudiced FOR him, not because the evidence pointed to innocence. I hope he stays in prison for every single day of his sentence and the Goldmans and the Browns recover every single item he has stolen from them.

This pathetic narcissist deserves to spend his last days in isolation and poverty, abandoned by friends and family. It is still more mercy than he showed his victims.

Let him rot

I am really tired of O.J.'s attorneys crying about unfair treatment. Poor, Poor O.J. He can never catch a break. Right!
I watched that trial and I thought the judge was extremely patient. You are where you belong O.J., too bad for you.

It's Ironic that he got found not guilty for the murder trial and found guilty for this sham. Let him out!

Given the behavior of the defense lawyers, especially Galanter, Judge Glass took to yelling because her only other choice would have been to have found them in contempt. If she had done that, they would be complaining even more (and with a better cause). The trial was noisy and obnoxious – but it was as fair as it could be, given the situation.

I agree, they both committed a crime and they should both do the time, especially Simpson, he got away with murder now he should rot in jail where he should have ended up the first time.

i am sorry but i will always feel that he killed his lovely ex-wife and mr. goldman.
this was just another botched job on his part and he got caught.
let him stay where he is for a long time.

What now, the courts trial and verdict are not fair?
What about the murder trial and verdict.
Maybe they wasn't fair either?

If simpson gets out it will be a travesty of justice

hahahahahah yea right free him never..he abviously doesnt care about his own actions and deserves to sit in a cell for at least 15 more years..What an idiot this lawyer is

Why are we wasting taxpayer dollars on these idiots? OJ got off the first time and got nailed (rightfully so) the second time. The trial is over, he was convicted, done, over, pay your debt to society by staying in prison.

Too many lawyers out there!

Was it OJ's property that he was getting back?? It was quite a big circus to not even know if OJ was stealing someone's property, or trying to get his back. If the trial wasn't a complete sham.... aka for someone other than OJ, that would PROBABLY have been an important piece of the puzzle. If I catch a thief stealing my stuff and I point a gun at them until police arrive, can I be put in prison for "kidnapping" the thief? I realize the other guys already had the memorabilia..... It keeps being referred to as "lost memorabilia". Did it fall out of OJ's pocket while he was walking his dog or something? Come on people... maybe... just maybe these scumbags actually stole his stuff and he was trying to get it back. We're going to pay to incarcerate the guy for years for trying to get his stuff back?

he got what was coming to him. if you play with crap you're gonna get some on ya!

Personally, I feel Mr. Simpson along with his new legal team got railroaded by the justice system and Mr. Simpson along with his
old legal team also railroaded the same system.

They will be released; wait & see.

Personally, I feel Mr. Simpson and his new legal team got railroaded by our justice system, however, Mr. Simpson and his old legal team railroaded the same system.

With OJ in jail, who will be left to continue the search for Nicole and Ron's Killers?

It's a scary thing when you're found innocent of a crime (even though you were probably guilty) and the establishment doesn't like the verdict so they get you for something else and throw you in jail for the rest of your life. To the people who write that OJ should rot in jail, just hope that you never find yourself in a situation where the cops and local prosecutors want to "get you." This is a dangerous precedent for us all.

Jason-
I understand your point. Maybe these guys did steal his stuff, but even if it's true, it's completely irrelevant. No man goes to jail for "trying to get his stuff back." There's a right way to get your stuff back, and there's a wrong (illegal) way. OJ isn't in jail for "trying to get his stuff back," he's there because of the way he did it: with weapons and intimidation (without the police). When you break the law, you go to jail. End of story.

Speaking without regard to the law, I say CJ might (but probably doesn't) deserve a new trial, but not OJ. Who cares about him...

Speaking with regard to the law, as for the trial being a sham... I wasn't there. I don't know, but after listening to that tape, it sure sounded bad for the whole gang. Explaining that away must have been tough for the defense attorneys.

I hope Simpson takes his last dying breath in jail never seeing freedom again, not even when he is with the devil.

I always felt there was doubt about the murders...not a lot but enough that 12 people were convinced that he possibly did not kill his ex & the visitor. He was found not guilty..I can understand the debate but this guy has been treated most unfairly since the acquittal. The farce of a trial in Las Vegas just shows how vengeful people are. If you or I dod this 'crime'...maybe a year in a country jail? Six months? So 15 years...come on...tell me this is not revenge.

Let him rot in jail. He's a whiner who needs to be accountable for his sorry life. He had it all and it wasn't enough. Tough.

If your neighbor took your lawn mower and then decided to sell it – what would you do about it?

OJ's only crime was that he beat the rap in California. I was at that trial and trust me – there was not a shred of direct evidence that could be produced to put OJ on the scene. The one and only case where the coroner who did the actual autopsy was not called to testify. His boss came and got his butt kicked.

Oh wait – the gloves – Alas, they did not fit – therefore he was acquit.

This was not a trial – it was a modern day lynching – since they let you go we will not. Its does not behove a nation that once proclaimed that a defenendent is innocent until proven guilty to continue to think of OJ as guilty in the murders he was acquited of.

If OJ was white would we still feel the same way?

Someone mentioned Karma, but the guy's just plain dangerous, it makes sense he'd end up back in the judicial system. He killed (oops, I mean they never found the "real" killer) and then was involved in another violent crime. The man should not be let out.

OJ, after the trial, said "I'm sorry and ashamed of what I have done". Does he now claim to not have done it?!

I wonder if there would have been so much outrage (then & now) if those who OJ allegedly killed (although he was found NOT GUILTY), had been African American. I'm sorry, but those were my thoughts then and now. Personally, I have never liked OJ, so I am not defending him. What happened was tragic, and I believe that OJ will answer to the one true Judge in the end like the rest of us.

It is interesting to read the comments in which the writers are defending O.J. because "maybe these scumbags actually stole his stuff and he was trying to get it back." O.J. Simpson did not walk in on a burglary in his home people. He walked into a hotel room with a loaded gun. What if the gun had gone off and killed someone, perhaps a child, in the next room? Do you REALLY want to set this precedent? No matter his past, what he did was and is illegal!

OJ did it!!!!!!
He got away with murder the first time, you think the idiot would stay out of trouble.

OJ rot in jail.......

it is amazeing to read some of these comments it is obvious there still a lot of bitterness and hathred for simpsom because of the murder case, but nevertheless the merites of the this case those not constitude sentence, any one else would have been giving probation. the punishment those not fit the crime.

If it was really HIS stuff, he should have used a legal means to retrieve it. Nobody has the right to take an armed gang into a residence or hotel room to retrieve goods that a person claims are theirs. Do it legal or do the time!

He got away with murder. If he had also got away with armed intrusion, that would have been an unconscionable second travesty of justice.

And yes Jason Robert Mitchel, if PJ was white, the feelings would be the same. he will have to answer to the man upstairs one day. I hope he is sitting in prison, fearing that moment.

Jason Robert Mitchel , and anyone else that thinks OJ was innocent...- I challenge you to try someting... take a leather dress glove that fits you... Soak it in water... Let it dry... then put on a latex surgical glove... then try to put on the leather glove...

It won't fit!!!!

It was a sham of an example of whether he was guilty or innocent

Even if by the slightest chance those people had "stolen" the memorabilia from him, he had no right to go storming in there with guns drawn. he should have called the police, because thats why they exist. That is how you know he is guilty.

Not to mention he got off of a double murder charge.

A lot of silly comments and a lack of understanding the law here.

If you break into someone's room and hold people at gunpoint against their will, you will go to prison. It doesn't matter if they have your property. He did this, it was well proven, he went to prison. Yes Jason, you would go to prison too. No sham. No railroading. Pretty basic stuff that wouldn't raise anyone's attention if it didn't involve OJ.

If he had a legitimate claim to the property, he could have contacted the police himself or filed a civil suit. Had he not been going to such extremes to avoid paying the wrongful death judgment against him, that is.

The only unfortunate thing from all this is OJ is no longer able to search the golf courses of America for the "real killer"

Jason Robert Mitchel I total agree with your statement about OJ. I don't think he killed his ex wife. (I'M white)

If he committed the crime he gets jail. It doesn't matter if you were getting your stuff back, committing a crime because one was committed against you doesn't make it right.

This is a rare interesting story. Everyone knows the OJ can not get a fair trial period, but because he's OJ nobody really cares. I will add this it was a witch hunt pure and simple. the men who committed the most serious charges got deals. They would have let one hundred people get deals if it met putting OJ behind bars. I'm not a fan of OJ's but when the system goes the that many lengths know good thing can come from it.

"trying to recover his own things"?

Don't you mean "trying to recover his own things by threatening peoplem with guns"?

It's never ok to threaten people with guns, I'm sorry.

What goes around, comes around!!!
For those of you who think this trial was a "sham", what are your thoughts on the first trial?
Brings to mind Al Capone getting busted for tax evasion.

Noticed a few comments about OJ getting his stuff back. My understanding is the stuff he was "getting back" was no longer his. Remember OJ wasn't convicted at the criminal trial but he WAS at the civil trial. If I remember right this "stuff" is what he was ordered by the court to sell due to losing the civil suit. He's guilty end of story. He admitted to it. This isn't race related. This is a very dumb man who thought he could be the law again. Yes his punishment was probably more harsh than if this was his first brush with the law. Is that right? Probably not. Am I happy? Absolutely.

Poor OJ. His blood somehow got everywhere all over nicole and ron's bodies. However did that happen? It was a sham. He got framed. Now, he admits to an armed robbery attempt complete with video evidence, and again, we are to believe it was a sham. He is again the victim. Poor OJ.

Leave the POS in jail where he belongs. He is a murderer and a thief.

People are forgetting why he was locked up. He took the objects back through threat of force with a weapon. He was also convicted of kidnapping. Thats why he is locked up. I'd hate to say it but this is Karma at its best. The man killed his wife, got away with it, wrote a book detailing the event from a "if I did it" perspective. The real "sham" trial was the one that took place in the early 1990's.

If you believe someone has your stuff, regardless of where you live, you can use the courts to get it back (even if you were hiding it from being taken as part of a judgement against you for killing someone). Not the police. The courts.

What you do not have, regardless of where you live, is the right to get a goon squad together (and arm yourself) and go take it back.

Simpson did just that and he deserves to be in jail.

This is not about being black or white. This is about a man that
murdered two people and walked away. The evidence was there,
the people on the jury were intimidated by him. He has been out
enjoying his life while two people lay in the grave. I am personally
glad he finally got his due.

This is poetic justice. He may have escaped punishment for his murderous rage but it is his own egotistical stupidity that ends his own life. What do they call that? Hoist on his own petard? hahahaha

Well I'm white and I fully understood why OJ was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Case closed. He was found not guilty. That shouldn't have even been an issue with this case in Nevada, but it was. EVERYONE knows it was. I'm not saying OJ is an innocent dude, quite frankly, I think he's stupid. He was acquitted of murder and was living a decent life (alot better than my life). He did an absolutely idiotic thing in Nevada. Should he have been sentenced like he was? No. That is where the sham came in. The Judge didn't just take the incident into consideration that he was convicted of, she took in the fact that he was found innocent of murders that he may have committed (or he may not have...who honestly, 100% knows?). She went outside the sentencing guidelines. That is what was crazy. And quite frankly, the kidnapping charge was a fluke. Just plain stupid. Whatever, I guess. At least it's not me having to worry about the rest of my life in prison. OJ does deserve the award of the century for stupidity though.

The system is stacked against him. He proved his innocence in his murder trial and the system didnt like it. So what happens he commits a lesser crime and they rail road him for it. Its just a shame so many idiots dont see it!

1) It was "not his property" since the courts had decided it belonged to the Goldmans.

2) Even if it was, you don't retrieve "your property" with guns and threats.

Wait, "his" stuff? Um, he owes millions in a lawsuit he legitimately lost. All of "his" stuff should be auctioned off to pay his debt. If I owed money, the court wouldn't care what I thought was mine, they would take it to pay back the debt. People pay a good percentage of their salary every week for child support, OJ is no different, start paying for the lawsuit he did lose, regardless of these others. He has no right to any valuable memoribilia.

Hey Melvin, instead of worrying about the justice system, how about worrying about your communications skills. Namely, learning proper grammer and spelling. Your opinion is worthless, particarly when taken in context with your inability to spell or write. If someone cannot even communicate with even a hint of articulability, then that opinion should be ignored because it obviously came from an ignoramous.

It is pretty safe to state that OJ has been well represented in all of his court appearences over the years. He has been privleged to be able to afford exceptional counsel. He had a trial and lost. Those who believe he has been unjustly found guilty, should study up a little bit on the process. You may find he had ample opportunity to show his innocence. We all have the right to a fair trial.

What a lousy system. Let the guy off for murder twice, jail him for robbery and using a gun in committing the robbery later.....Poor ole Juice. He thought he was bullet proof.
The overwhelming majority says no release. But, remember, most supreme courts are made up of the most liberal Judges in the system.....If I were a gambler (and I am) I'd give 6-1 that they release them on bond during appeal.
The Goldmans can then only watch in silence while another shyster lawyer gets OJ off yet again.
For OJ That's the good news..the bad news is that the final judgement will come. And the Judge knows the real truth.

If he did it? The tape/evidence clearly demonstrates OJ's arrogance and above the law perspective. OJ was conviced in civil court for wrongful death. In the camera, you see the arrogant OJ saying the Goldman's will never get a penny from him. Additionally, his rediversion of money to avoid paying for his crime/conviction. First trial was a sham, second trial was a sham, now the third is a sham? OJ is a sham and he belongs where he is.

I think OJ bad guy not nice to Nicole and friend. Never got in right trouble for cutting. He should be gutted like a dead monkey.

He just wanted to get his stuff back?

People are seriously using that as an excuse to defend him here?

There is a legal way to get your stuff back and an illegal violent way to get your stuff back. OJ chose the latter and now should pay the consequences.

I wish some people would actually understand how the legal system works before they would post their grossly inaccurate statements on here. OJ wasn't convicted (some may believe he was guilty), but the fact is no court of law found him guilty. Evidence and prosecution in the armed robbery trial was highly prejudicial. If everyone was treated like this we might as well revert to puritanical times or even back to the times of beheading. Worthless to bring up the appeal here because OJ's luck has run out but cut the guy a little slack would yah?

Still, this is more interesting than Jon & Kate.

You want out of jail, OJ? Good! Give him the needle!

What thick skulls!
The items were his a long time ago! He had sold or otherwise disposed of them. Then when he found there was a market for them, he conveniently forgot selling or giving it away.
Then he conspired to hold people against their will and STEAL the things back!
It WAS NOT his stuff!!!!!

Karma!

You gotta love it!!!!!

Guess O.J. forgot to bring the glove at this trial.

I saw the first trial because, I

Who's gonna miss him. Leave him there. Tired of him, don't need him.

So many believe that OJ deserves to be in jail because of the murders, but this case was not about the murders. That is past, and whether some like it or not, he was found not guilty.
It was very evident and nerve wrecking to see this woman judge attack and cut off and prevent the defense attorneys to do their job .
Vegas wanted to get OJ, big deal!
People, whether you like or not, whether he did it or not, this was not about Nicole and Ron, and the Goldman's should get a life, like someone else said, not all the money in the world will bring Ron back, Kim and Fred, GET A LIFE! LET RON REST IN PEACE! STOP YOUR HATE!

Your don't recover your alleged stolen property by entering a premises with guns, threats and holding hostages. We have a legal system and OJ should have used it if someone stole from him–he should have known this because obviously the legal system has helped him before.

This man is dangerous and should remain in jail.

I agree with Matthew OJ just wanted his stuff back and rightfully so ,who else would care more for his belongings then him? The judge sided with the Goldman's.it doesn't do anyone any good for OJ to be locked up,especially his children,release OJ.TODAY.

I saw the first trial because, I worked nights and Iam not saying he did it or he didnt do it I am just saying the DA;s OFFICE did not prove their case, Marsha Clark was busy getting fined for being late to court fighting with her ex husband with her kids...And the city just did not have enough legal experience as the defense and they outspend the city. So, you see if OJ was poor he would have went to jail for the murders hell you got people on deaf row with less but think about it.
no witness, no murder weapon, motive was non existent or weak at best that is why he got off. Now as for las vegas all I can say is o.j you should not have been there and he new the F.B.I was going to set him up sooner or later 1 year or 5 years people dont realize they are constantly turning out new cops every 6 months with fresh eyes they have nothing but time to put you away. But nichole was strung out dont forget that where I come from we call that a crack head and she was sleeping around spreading diseses keep it real america

no way.
leave him where he is.
put the lawyer there too if he misses him so much.
the man got away with murder, i say karma caught up with him
and i would take the money (if the lawyer got paid) and run, run
as fast as he can away from this ugly, ugly human!!!

He needs to stay in jail. He always thought he could get away with anything, he just had that attitude. Now he is in jail, leave him there. If he is released, it will only prove that he can get away with whatever, then what will he be involved with next time??? The law needs to be upheld. A lot of verdicts are overturned, so why do we even have trials & jury's? Same with voting, people vote & it gets overturned, why put it on the ballot if they are going to do whatever they want anyway?
I think once a verdict is placed, it should be upheld, no matter what. The people have spoken, let it be.

2 wrongs don't make anything right. If he was guilty for the murder of his wife, then justice should have been served then. This case was a sham – another injustice.

I think OJ looks great in strips and feel he should wear them for the rest of his time in Jail , maybe if he paid the Goldmans from his overseas accounts I could feel for him but right now let him rot because insde of Oj is nothing but rot

He should rot in jail. How is he paying his lawye?. I thought he was broke. When will he pay what he owes from the civil suit?

he belongs where he is.

Poor Baby...

Guilty of killing the two people he was cleared of is not the case. And this case is a true case of a shamm. From the judge on down to the police. From the surprise recordings of the whole thing. That a lone should be enough to get it over turned. Well if he deserves it or not the law is the law and it is wrong here.

People! Careful now because we are heading toward a downhill, slippery slope! This is America! People risk life and limb to get here because of our democracy and judicial system. Although not perfect, it is way better than other countries. Two wrongs DO NOT make a right. No matter what our opinion is of Mr. Simpson, the integrity of the law should and must be upheld and no one should use one case to "make up" for what they believ should have been the "correct" verdict for another. This is the United States of America (not Iran or N. Korea) and I agree with Donna, if justice is not handed down in this life, there is a far worse judgement coming.

OJ chose not to go to the police to recover his stolen goods – because any goods recovered would be sold and the proceeds given to the Goldman family for the civil penalties assessed against OJ in the civil trial for the murder he committed.

Instead, he chose to break into a hotel room with armed assailants, and steal back his property. Doesn't matter which way you cut it, under the law OJ is as guilty as the original parties.

He belongs in jail.

Hey, I saw one ignorant response here. The woman that said he needed to pay for his previous crime. He was found innocent which, in the eyes of the law, means he didn't do it. I, like many people, think he was involved but we have a system imperfect though it may be. As for this go around, he gets to appeal because that's also part of our system. If he goes free on bond for the appeal that's on the judge.

Hey Jason Robert Mitchel, let's go and make this a racist arguement, why would you even ask a stupid question like that. Anyway, as much as I hate to admit it, the screwed the trial in California, and it looks as if it might have been screwed in Nevada.

Doesn't matter what we think, we can't change anything. Was he guilty in California, I tend to think so, but until you are proven guilty you are supposedly innocent. BUT then after you are proven guilty, all you have to do is appeal and you eventually will find your way back on the street.

I do not think he will have many people that will associate with him if he gets out, but then again there are some people that will do anything for a free press pic.

I gather the judicial system, wanted to even up the score. I think Simson
and his golf buddy, need to be released, on bail, and a less hostile
judge appointed, at least a judge with a sense of irony......

The problem here was OJ deciding to take matters into his own hands. Had he notified the Police, he knew that he would have lost anything recovered to Fred Goldman, if this was actually his property.

Isn't it ironic that he got away with murder, but is now in jail over stealing junk that he thinks belongs to him? Does he deem himself that self-important to think that he could get away with that, too? Keep him where he is and don't waste our time and space on him. We're all sick of him.

To those who are interested, please find and read the book published by Mike Gilbert, OJ's agent. It is called "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder". Quite an interesting read. In it, Mr. Gilbert divulges that it was HIS idea for OJ to quit taking his blood pressure medicine so that his hands would swell up and therefore the glove wouldn't fit when he tried it on in court. The surgical glove being on OJ's hand just made the situation worse, because if the powder was gone off the outside of the glove NOTHING would be able to slide on it due to the nature of the plastic. It is SOOO ironic that the lawyers came up with the now famous phrase "If it doesn't fit, you can't convict". They
made sure it wouldn't fit !!! Also interesting is Mark Furhman's book, "Murder in Brentwood". There was an empty knife box on the edge of OJ's bathtub in the master bedroom that Mr. Furhman put on the list for the detectives to pick up as evidence – and no one did. Prints on the back gate of Nicole's house were never followed up on either, even though Mr. F noted them in his report. During his original stay in jail, OJ's agent continued to bring memorabalia to the jail for OJ to sign so that they could continue to make money that the Goldman's could not recover. I believe OJ should be in jail as he stormed the room in Vegas & held people in a room at gunpoint against their wishes. He deserves to be breaking rocks in the heat of the day for the rest of his life – not live in some cushy jail at taxpayer's expense. I wish someone would give him a knife in the back. Rest in peace Nicole and Ron.

Melvin,

"it is very strange that a person would go to jail for trying to recover his on things"

It isn't strange when a person does so with a gun.

There are facts in this case that I've never seen disputed that are far and away plenty to merit locking someone up over, OJ Simpson or not.

Where is he getting money for his appeals? Give the money to the Goldman family and leave him rot in solitary where he belongs.

Let's face it. There was no way that that jury would have found OJ guilty of the murders. They made that clear during and after the trial. If OJ was so stupid as to avoid later involvement in a subsequent crime, he gave the system a second bite at the apple of locking him up. He needs to stay in the pokey as long as the pockey will have him.

Free Nicole and Ron then you can ask to free oj

Most, if not all, of the anti OJ comments have the same theme, vengeance. It is not the job of Nevada justice system to create an injustice to compensate for a perceived incorrect verdict in the California justice system. The Nevada judge acted like a vigilante.

The way the judge (Glass) and DA handled this case, reminds me of the way the Iranian president rigged the election and killed innocent people just because of power and fame.

The Juice has been squeezed, and now its name is OJ. Lets be real here folks.. I have read about how some feel this man was railroaded by the system, how he and his team railroaded the system previously. OJ went to a Hotel, not someones home, not a place of business, but a Hotel Room with a bunch of his cronies, who were armed. Bum rushed a couple of guys who were dealers at a memorblilia trade show, selling their wares. If Ron Goodman was looking for monitarial compensation, perhaps he should have gone to the dealers to ask for all their OJ stuff, I doubt they would give it to him, I know I wouldnt. There isnt any evidence that the property in question was ill gotten, there is however evidence that several men including OJ forcefully entered into a room brandishing firearms and demanding property regardless of supposed claim to rightful ownership. What happened here was a shame, what happened here is unexcuseable. These people need to stay in jail where they belong.

The world is a safer place with OJ the sociopath locked up.

Let him rot in jail. He is a liar and a killer and trouble follows him like flies to honey.

Bad Karma has come back to O.J. It was bound to happen. Keep him locked up. He's a thug AND a murderer.

They should stay in jail. OJ has had more chances than cats have lives. Melvin – please learn how to spell.

Thank you Mathew for the truth!!! All everybody says is what happened to Ron & Nicole but they have NO proof. The only reason i think they should be free is for that last trial. Judge Glass should be ashamed of herself the way she acted in that courtroom. Now if they were to go to trial and the defense were allowed to ask the questions that they should, and C.J. & O.J. lost, then i would accept that but the last trial was so one sided it`s just not fair no matter who were on trial.Dr. Cat asked if it was okay to come in with guns. Is it okay for the ones with the guns To be on PROBATION???? Nobody is saying ANYTHING about the thugs in that room. Also, Fred Goldman is a money hungry leach and as Mathew said, the money won`t bring Ron back!!!!

OJ deserves to be let out of jail! The incident was totaly blown out of porportion. The Las Vegas Prosecutors were trying to make a name for them selves. You can't just charge people with everthing and hope it sticks.

Goldman was a genius. He went after everything that the law allowed and made OJ do something illegal and stupid. Funy how all that memoribilia just starts to show up. Simpson was plying cat and mouse with the Goldmans for years, but guess who got the last laugh.... It's was all recorded, and OJ couldnt act or get enough sympathy to get out of this one.

The other glove was missing and it was the glove where he cut through that which cut his finger and it was seen by a witness when he freaked out and fled to Chicago..

I think O.J. has to rot in jail where he belongs.

Can't believe how many people are taken in by this fool. He is a loser who belongs in jail Leave him there

Let the legal system run its path to the end (hopefully soon). Everyone has the right to appeal any verdict (be it just or not), that is the Law. Give it a rest and let it run its course.

I think the guy's an idiot and I'm confident he killed his wife and Ron Goldman. However, I feel he was punished in this case for those very murders. The Vegas charges were definitely trumped up in that kangaroo court for sure. BTW, I'm a white guy.

Let the man live! It's bad enough his wife was brutally murdered! OJ Simpson is a damn fine American. The police are out to get this brave father and loving husband. Let the man live!! Find the real killers and quit wasting our time with this alleged theft. Let the man live!!!

How could he have anything to recover? Shouldn't those items, plus a large wad of cash belong to someone he owes money to from a civil suit? How about we leave him ther and forget about him....

So some think that OJ got too much time for kidnap/robbery? Why, because he is black? I'm a white female who got a life sentence for this same crime WITH NO PRIORS. Furthermore, they would NEVER consider letting me out pending appeal. I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet he is on video, he is carrying a loaded weapon. Does he not deserve 15 years?

Marge . . . they got everything on OJ except a video of him committing the murder. And you think he didn't do it? I don't care if you are purple, the slime was guilty of murder and got away with it!!!!

The man is obviously a non christian, and desires not to be. If he thinks he is above the law, hey guess what, he is not aboves Gods law. He will pay and may have already paid behond hope. Like CAIN, Judas, Balaam, he may not now be able to make amends. Leave him where he's at, maybe he might find jail house religion, and that would be a start for a prodical of society.

OJ needs to pay for past crimes, we all know he did it then and he took the law into his own hands this time. leave him locked up till the end. He thinks he is above the law.

If anyone watched the trial, and I am sure a lot of you did not, it was rediculous. What a waste of taxpayer money to have a trial that was a circus of people. Mr. Simpson should be freed along with his friend. Maybe the others that cut a deal should go to jail for awhile!!!!!

Hmmm, the people saying this time he didn't get a fair trial were the one's who said he got a fair trial last time. So to them he can murder, storm hotel rooms with guns and intimidation and all that should be just fine. I say it's about time, leave him where he is.

Lets face people he wasn't convicted of the murders but he did it. Just like your going to collect personel items that belong to you with armed DB's. i live in so fl where OJ moved to and this guy has been in and out of court for drug conspiracy, road rage and the list goes on; we've had enough. we don't remmeber him by his football career.

This country is all about politics and putting people in jail for reason beyond ones doubt. Yes, this second trial was absolutely botched with criticism and he was jailed this time for a crime that he was not guilty off. All of you who has left comments are nothing but a bunch of bullies and need to read between the lines of what this country is all about. Where I am from originally a murderer does not spend his/her entire life behind bars. They are released after a minimum of 7 years.

Either the law is fair or it is not. If it is, then the previous trial should have nothing to do with it. PERIOD. The idea that justice was served in NV because he "got away with murder" is obscene. The system that protect YOU has set him free (though the civil court judgment against him stands).
Personally, I think he should probably have been found guilty in NV (he admitted as much) but given a far, far lighter sentence as a first time offender... which, legally, he is.

Yes, OJ definitely got an unfair trial! The first one. The fact that he committed armed robbery should make it clear to any OJ supporters that that Simpson is a criminal. Anyone who condones his habitual criminal behavior is either living in denial or is an antisocial misfit. Keep him locked away from normal society.

If O.J. was diligently working to pay off the Goldmans I would be better disposed to a lighter sentence. But he has done everything in his power to cheat them out of the judgement they received in the civil trial. He is where he belongs and if he gets out I would suspect corruption. He masterminded the whole Vegas operation and is a dangerous criminal quite separate from the fact that he got away with double murder.

This crime has nothing to do with the murder trial. Facts are facts and the jury made their decision. I have seen juries come back with decisions that were totally against what the public may have wanted and the based their decisions on the facts of the case. With OJ, he is the one that decided to be a criminal. If anyone believes that this stupid trial would be payback for the murders he committed, well that is laughable. They could have plotted against him and found a way to force him to pay the court judgements against him if they wanted payback. This is apples and oranges.

OJ not enjoying his golden years in Lovelock, NV? Too bad, so sad.

The OJ murder trial displayed counterproductive excessive zeal and glory seeking on the part of prosecutors, which unfortunately muddled the results to the point where it was impossible to judge, hence the acquittal.

This latest trial does appear to be a trial by proxy. If so, that is equally reprehensible, and the sentence quite inappropriate to the charge levelled.

But that does not in any way justify OJ's use of intimidation to retrieve his own stolen property.

The police should have helped him out by doing the job. And they should have prosecuted the thieves.

The American justice system is flawed.

This conversation ought to be about how to fix it.
Non elected judges? Conscientiousl pursuit of truth instead of simply winning a case? Stricter rules of evidence? Less reliance on rewarding betrayal by witnesses with a conflict of interest?. More community police?

Dont' forget: 'If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.' In this case, sadly, justice was ignored. A great fallacy of the American judicial system. Whatever past you may have, definitely has weight when your peers have a say so on one's innocence or guilt (the LV jury was not sequestered). OJ should be set free and the conviction vacated.

Even when they catch you on tape,its still denial.

Simpson created his own circus and is now reaping the rewards for three rings of madness that surrounds him. The man could have consulted the police about stolen items. But, instead, he took the law into his own hands because he thought he was above the law.

He right where he belongs. Let him rot there forever.

This whole fiasco shows what a joke the legal system in this country is and has become. It further shows how most americans and the media don't value the constitution. First point is we are all innoccent until proven guilty. There are numerous people who have committed crimes and have not been found guilty. This is the price we pay to make sure innocent people are not found guilty. Which has also happened. AS for OJ, whether you believe him a murderer or not he was found not guilty. And found not guilty when the media and the world had pronounced him 100% guilty before the trial even started. Then in this case most people don't care about if he's guilty or not yhey just want him in jail. There is no way for him to have a fair trial. The judge needs to be aware of that and make an effort to make the jurors understand that. She did no such thing.

Say "Hi" to bubba.....you deserve to be where you are OJ. For this/that or the other......you belong in jail!

he is where he should be .. JUSTICE served .. miss golfing ..? miss home ?? we are all now smilin! OJ...you got juiced ....

It's quite obvious that if OJ had never gone to trail previously, as a celebrity he would be walking the streets a free man after this last charge. There are two kinds of justices in America, celebrity justice and the common man justice system. His celebrity status freed him the last time, this time his celebrity status has locked him up. sounds like a fair cop to me.

So many of you natural born cynics and hate mongers out there remind me of the peanut gallery of idiots at the Salem Witch Trials who were absolutely convinced the judge conducted a fair trial for the poor innocent souls who were hanged. OJ's first trial and this trial was a travesty of justice no matter the outcome. The American people deserve better justicce than this. We deserve better qualified juries, lawyers and judges. Wake up my fellow Americans or you too could suffer the same fate, guilty or not. Think about it!

he was a free man any way!! The case was thrown together and it just seemed like it was for revenge not justice.. let the juice loose!!!

o.j got what he deserved. lawyers allways try to make like the judge and jury is wrong. that is a lawyers job. let him stay in jail. if he gets a new hearing. then go from there.

This is what's wrong with America. Prejudicial justice system. It's obvious that people would do anything they could to hang OJ.

I'm not a fan of his, but to set a man up for BS is supposed to be beneath us.

Let this guy go. Only God can jugde him. It's not our place to do that...

No he should NOT be released pending appeal. 1) he is a CONVICTED felon, 2) he is most certainly a flight risk, 3) his crimes involved the use of a firearm. No one should want this menace loose on the streets.

No reason for OJ to be in jail, he just barged into a private room, had his cronies threaten the guys with a gun and refused to let them walk out of the room and then took there phones, no, no reason to keep the thug in jail, of course he's to frail and thin to get out and play golf, what the heck keep him in were he can rest.

Whether you like it or not, and whether you believe that OJ killed 2 people or not, this is supposed to be a nation of laws. His acquittal in his murder trial means that he was innocent in the eyes of the law.

I any case, his recent trial should only have been judged on its own merits. I don"t believe for a moment that most prosecutors would have wanted to even try a case where someone is set up by a guy with a hidden tape recorder to take back his own property, even by force, were it not for OJ's infamy.

On its own merits, this case probably merited a simple assault charge or a brandishing charge, with 30-90 days in jail.

I find it illuminating that the only posters who believe this murdering thug to be innocent couldn't find subject-verb agreement with a map and seem to have learned all they know about the US judicial system from "The Black Panther Guide to Getting Back At Whitey".

Where is OJ getting the cash to pay for the legal team? He can't be earning more than a buck or two a day.

I'm sure OJ is dying to get out of prison. He still hasn't finished searching every golf course in southern Florida for the "real killer".

the same people who want to set him free must have been on the first jury.

"The only unfortunate thing from all this is OJ is no longer able to search the golf courses of America for the “real killer”"

Brilliant, Laughin"! Thanx so much for perspective!

I have a lot of problems with a man being convicted for trying to recover his own property.

The police are completely useless - I had a motorcycle stolen by a "friend" and the police said they couldn't do anything because I knew the guy. My father had a car stolen by a man he roomed with. Again, the police wouldn't do a thing.

It's a shame we have double jeopardy because I do believe he was convicted in this case because he got off for the murder of his ex-wife. But we don't have double jeopardy and it's wrong to convict a man for a crime just because he got off on a different crime.

Eh... at least your STILL alive OJ.

For the sake of argument, let's assume the trial really was unfair to the defendants...

I know and understand the "karma" sentiment on this against Simpson, but it seems a little unjust that Stewart should be swallowed up in it as well.

OJ did the Crime and now he does the time. Only a coward hurts a women.

Regarding the comments about the Goldman's making it all about money. It has always been obvious that it was never about money to them, but it was the only way they could inflict pain on O.J. for what they feel certain that he did. O.J. has always been the one into money and the only way to obviously hurt him is through the loss of wealth. That is why the law allows these families to go after the defendents in a civil trial. I am certain the Goldman's have no intention of keeping any blood money they might win from O.J. Most likely they would donate it to charity or a victim's group of some kind. I am sure they would give up all they have to have their son back.

As for O.J., guilty or innocent, who knows? Nothing concerning O.J. is ever simple and it is his own arrogance and inability to control his temper that gets him into trouble. I personally do not have any sympathy for him.

I agree with a majority of what has been said here. Let the moron rot in jail. You did something wrong, you have incriminating evidence that you did it. Therefore, you belong in jail.

I am surprised he even had the option to get out in 9 years. A**hole deserves a lot more.

He got away with murder and God know's what else. He figured he was untouchable because of who he is. Well tough luck, he needs to stay in jail. There are thousands of others in jail for similar crimes and even lesser ones. I don't hear anyone crying for there release. Here's a piece of advice for OJ, don't bend over for the soap.

Free OJ.

Where were all you witnesses to the murder when the original trial was going on? Hummm, let's see, NOBODY actually viewed the actual killing...gee, what a concept....guilty until proven innocent....great country we have here, folks!

Yes, Jason Robert Mitchell, if O.J. was white, I truly believe most people would still think he was guilty. That's like saying that Scott Peterson couldn't have possibly killed his wife and unborn baby, he's a white guy and we all know them white guys don't do those kinds of things. Yeah right, he is where he belongs and it is a shame that O.J. isn't his neighbor.

Besides the armed robbery and kidnapping conviction weren't there fraud charges in the concealment of his assets from his 1997 $33.5 million dollar compensatory and punitive damages judgment that he still owes over the "deaths" of N. S-Brown & R Goldman?
R / NYC

If you did not attend the trial or have not read trial transcripts, or at least read the points made in the appeal, then how can you have an opinion. Some of you don't seem to understand that we are not supposed to convict people based on not liking them.
It is supposed to be based on evidence legally presented at a trial. There are procedures and rules that have to be followed to insure the defendant a fair trial, no matter how visceral your reaction to that person is, for whatever reason.
He did not get a fair trial, evidence was presented to the jury that should not have been. The bias of the judge was obvious.
Having seen much of the trial and the appeal, it is my opinion that he should not have been convicted, will almost certainly win his appeal and should be out on bond pending that.

The trial that was a sham was O.J.'s first trial. It is now easy for him or his lawyers to say this one was a sham too. Look at what he got away with the first time around. Now he is in jail for "getting his stuff back" A crime is a crime regardless of armed robbery, or murder. It is just that some crimes just have darker shades. Additionally, why always the garbage about what color he is? He was a black man living as a white man in a white man's world. However, put that aside and regardless of race there are good and bad in every race. OJ is a criminal and left to his own devices he would probably continue his crimes especially if he were to continually get away with the crimes he commits

He probably got more time for his part than other people in the same boat would have gotten. I'm gonna agree with others here though. The judicial system is broken – so I have no problem with it being broken against him now when it broke in his favor previously. Nobody got hurt this time, but he's a murderer that walked, so he's where he belongs.

Just a follow-up. I do think he was there and witnessed the murders, and maybe even had hand it. But the legal standard of beyond reasonable doubt was not met by the prosecution.

That makes him innocent. There are many in prison today that are condemmed on less than what OJ was facing. DNA has allowed some exoneration.

Justice and revenge are 2 different concepts. In justice we seek to exonerate – therefore the burden of proof is on the State; in revenge you seek to punish - therefore the burden of proof is on the accused.

What do we have here?

I guarantee that O.J. has it better than I do. And I'm not even in jail. Those cops, if given the chance, would've been his bunkies for sure... Oh, and they needed to wipe that stuff from their noses. Suck ups SUCK.

Karma

Laughin`

If you say that if you bring in a gun you go to prison. Then what about McClinton??? He was carrying a gun and he`s on PROBATION!!! Explain that one. Dr. Cat, your right, it`s not ok to threaten anyone with a gun, but again, McClinton had a gun and he`s out free. Is that the way it should be?? I don`t think so!!!

He was tried in the media....Let the man go

The LA prosecutors blew the murder case. If what happened in Vegas was anyone else it would have been plea bargained down. I think he killed 2 people also but the fact remains he was found not guilty. Like I said the LA authorities blew it. He is in jail because of the first crimes he got off on. He should be punished consistent with what this crime was and the amount of time he received is not consistent with it.

Regardless of his previous murder trial. Its niether here nor there. OJ did break the law by breaking in a hotel room with weapons. He admitted to the crime. If they did have his stuff then call the pollice, its what our tax dollars pay for. He did the crime and now he must do the time PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!

If Mr. X had your wallet locked in his safe, would you do a home invasion and force him to unlock the safe by putting a gun to his head? I've never heard of anything like that happening before! The real problem with this case is that OJ no longer owned any of the property he was trying to "recover" because it had been awarded to the Goldman family in their civil suit, meaning OJ is claiming to have kidnapped and robbed these people to recover Ron Goldman's property, OR he he is admitting he was trying to recover the property and hide it from Ron Goldman and the courts and keep it for himself illegally. OJ needs to remain in jail for life. He is a truly dangerous psychopath.

He got away with murder so why not try to retrieve your stuff by holding people at gunpoint against their will. The man is guilty on both crimes and he needs be with his own kind in prison. Let all thieves, murders, perverts, rapers rot in hell when they're done rotting in jail.

Chet, you're not kidding...

Hey the guy went through the legal system like it or not he was found "Not Guilty" What are we picking and choosing what verdict we like. FREE THE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BS! Guess what OJ Simpson, didn't commit murder. The evidence stands and plus the evidence not allowed in the court room. The DNA skin found under Nicole's finger nails was not, and I repeat was not O.J. Simpson's, and that was the evidence that should have really been allowed in the court room and would have removed all doubt! Free them both for this punishment does not match the crime. You can not punish someone for something you think they have committed in place of the actual said crime committed. There are so so so many people who wanted O.J. to be guilty that the truth is not heard.

Dr. Cat..yes, but my point was more that he didn't want Fred Goldman to benefit...not trying to minimize the offense here.

How difficult is this to understand? If you threatened someone with a gun – that is a crime! Why is anyone even entertaining the thought of releasing him ? Well one thing is for certain, this will be one more media frenzie with Nancy Grace at the forefront. By now Simpson has to be bankrupt or he wouldn't be fighting tooth and nail for his memorabilia. I'm sure his lawyers won't mind being added to the history books either. If he is released that will be a travisty of justice.

I too feel OJ was railroaded, by the system. But OJ needs to take some responsibility for the part he played in this as well. Know one forced OJ to take this approach to get his things back. Furthermore, I am sure he knew just how much White America wanted him badly, and was waiting for him to slip up, he did and oh well. They Got what they wanted, and we ended up getting what we wanted. A Black President, Wow, Sweet Justice. To people who had such a bad taste about what OJ allegedly did, think about all the years, of when you witnessed crimes toward minorities, and you turned your head, and did nothing to bring the crime to justice. You pretended in your warped mind, that it did not matter, or it was not a important enough crime to you, to report. So feel that for a moment, and ask yourself, why so many blacks in America, despite if what you say, he got away with the crime, did we support OJ. Because people like you, have gotten away with murder, and mistreatment toward minorities for years, and their was nothing these persons, could do about it, but suck it up. You had a sure way of getting away with the crimes, because you had people like you on the justice system, to protect your behavior. So the more you knew that, the more crimes, you committed toward minorities. Well, now times have really changed. That is why Glen Beck is making the statements, he is making. He is in fear, of retribution, maybe from his own personal treatment of minorities in the past. If I knowingly were a person who did so much dirt to people in the past, and it was going to catch up with me, I would be running in fear too. Pay Back Can Be A Bitch, Glenn Beck. Maybe The Apology For Slavery Will Be Possible, And Maybe We Can Get Glenn Beck To Be The Poster Child, For The New Crusade.

Melvin, Melvin, Melvin
It's quite apparent that you only say those things because you're black with no education. OJ Simpson should die in jail....period. Any white person would be in jail for murder and not had a chance to get tried for another dumb*** stunt like his last one. He is a low life who thinks he's privileged and should not be treated like ordinary people. He does not deserve to be out on the streets....end of conversation.

Don't you think it ironic that OJ was trying to steal "his" stuff back, when that stuff belonged to the Goldman's in the first place? Maybe if OJ used the defense he was only trying to satisfy his payment to Fred Goldman by stealing the stuff the jury would have been more sympathetic.

August 4th, 2009 1:29 pm ET

O.J.Simpson and Mr Stewart was railroad to say the least, it was very funny at the time of the trial, Judge Glass had all ready made up her mine who side she was on, it is very strange that a person would go to jail for trying to recover his on things, also everyone was giving a deal by the state prosecution except simpson and stewart this case was a direct indictment on his last case,i fell this was a poor example of the justice system

There was no poorer example of the justice system at work than Simpson's first trial. While this trial was a little bit of a zoo Simpson is guilty and deserves to be in jail. Afterall, not only was it pretty obvious that he broke the law in this case but he already got away with murder because of his money.

Regardless of whether we think his first trial was a sham, the fact is that we are a nation of laws. He was found not guilty of murder. Period. Do I think he did it? Absolutely. But twelve people unanimously decided that the prosecution did not meet its "beyond reasonable doubt" burden of proof.

What O.J. Simpson did was not armed robbery and was not kidnapping. Robbery requires the specific intent to take something which does not belong to you. If O.J. genuinely believed he was retrieving his own property, he is not guilty of armed robbery. Since the detention of the memorbilia dealers was incidental to an alleged armed robbery, he is not guilty of that either.

O.J. Simpson, in my opinion, is guilty of an aggravated assault on the memorabilia dealers and is also guilty of breaking and entering. He should be tried and punished for those crimes. He should not be tried and punished for crimes he didn't commit simply because the prosecution wants to "right" what they perceive as a travesty of justice. It may have been a travesty of justice. But it was a travesty of justice committed in full accordance with the laws of this country.

Times are sooo changing. All my childhood heroes are dead (Michael Jackson) or screwed (O.J.) Man I miss the 70's and 80's. Now where stuck with Justin Timberlake and Terrell Owens (Shudders)

Anywho. O.J. was found NOT GUILTY of murder. So by law it's slander to call him a MURDERER (sorry). But the U.S. Judicial system gets pushed to the side for revenge, just as many of you said it was pushed aside in 95 because of OJ's celebrity. Bottom line is people are crooked when they see fit. That goes for all of us.

Some of you truly believe what goes around comes around . Some of you are saying he's just paying for what he did to Nicole and Ron. Wake up people, the whole justice system in this country is a sham and if you are black its worse. Some people don't realize it because they don't live it. Do you guys know that the innocence project facts show:
143 African Americans
70 Caucasians
21 Latinos
2 Asian American
5 whose race is unknown
have been free from DNA. That is NOT what goes around come back around. That is bad prosecution and they should be tried for putting innocent people in jail. And these are just the ones that DNA can prove that they didnt do it. What about the untold ones from past centuries who spent time in jail for crimes they didnt commit?? If O.J is guilty or innocent I could care less just get it RIGHT and dont make assumptions.

Technically, he could be released. He was prosecuted based on emotion during his second trial to right the perceived wrong of his acquital during his first trial. This creates double jeopardy and a violation of the bill of rights. Right or wrong, he was not convicted of murdering his wife. To prosecute him, on the robbery charge, because people did not think that justice was initially served is wrong and unconstitutional and could become the basis to have the second charge dropped and his subsequent release from prison.

Let him stay in PRISON for all eternity! This monster should NEVER see the light of day. He will die in prison.

They have to let OJ out!!! He can't find the REAL killers while in jail! He promised he'd find them! I know he was hot on their trail–on the golf course.

Oh Great!!!!!!! Here we go again!!!!! Is Obama goin to be involved in this one too? Another racial jab perhaps? These guys are as guilty as can be. Keep them in jail so they dont have a chance to run!

Does this crap ever end. How unlawful does a man have to be before he is just wasteing precious air. God knows this man has
challanged to law and its order more times the any one can
count . All I can say is RIP OJ I hope you die where you cry.

I think O.J is right were he should be ....Behind bars.

I've always felt like he was guilty of the murders....But I don't think it was proven beyond a shadow of a doult. So I think I would have voted with the same vedict that was reached in that trial.

However this last time he was not on trial for that, and the murder(s) didn't play a factor in what he was on trial for.

I ask myself if the memorabilia really belonged to him anymore in the 1st place, OR was it something that was awarded to the Goldmans in the settlement for the civil suit. OR, It could have legally been obtained with the liquidation of some of his stuff. OR, He may have sold it himself to pay for those lawer's of his That would mean he had no right to it in the 1st place. It no longer belonged to him. I'm sure that wouldn't have sat right with that hot head.

So he did what he does best, Intimidates and threatens people. He thinks he's above the law, but this time the law caught him red handed. They didn't need a glove to fit. He made his bed now let him lay in it (in prision.) You can't walk into some place and hold a person at gunpoint or have a friend hold them for you and expect to walk FREE again......Time to pay the pipper O.J

Oh by the way, I have an idea for the way you could past your time away in prision. Maybe you could write a BOOK (on the stuff you say was your's) Titled ...." How I would do it if I had a second change".
But I'm not sure it will sell, people are sick of your crying.

All he did was try to get his stuff back? at Gunpoint? holding people hostage? um....ILLEGAL!!! He should have filed charges for theft or sued, like LEGALLY!!!

I have read many books on O J on his first trial and this second trial does not match it by a country mile. I wonder if Marcia Clark would have liked the opportunity to prosecute O J again some thing she missed in the civil trial. The Hollywood glamour was not present at this trial and it had the hallmarks of the Spector trial of trading on past memories. The intriguing thing is why O J bothered so much about some old junk sporting memorabilia. But if you live in the past you try and preserve what distorted image you have of it. O J broke the cardinal rule of not keeping his head down and staying out of trouble.

I keep reading all these comments and I am appalled. You are supposed to be tried for the crime at hand not for a crime that you "think" they committed in the past. Remember folks he was found "not guilty", Whether you agree with it or not that was the verdict and we must respect our judicial system. Now, for all the comments that OJ had a gun – if you saw the trial you would know that OJ did not have a gun, rather all those other folks that struck deals had guns – at least 2 of them. OJ went to Vegas to be the best man in a wedding and learned from Thomas Riccio that some of his personal items were there and Riccio set up the meeting to get them. He did not break in – rather went there with Riccio. Yes, I know under Nevada law they were all guilty, but OJ himself did not have a gun. To get 9 to 33 years for this charge is a miscarrage of justice and you all know it but because you believe he murdered two people, you think he's got what's coming to him. Have those feelings if you like, but it's not the way the system is supposed to work – you are not to find one guilty for one crime because you think they committed another one. Let's be fair!! OJ should get another trial because the judge was biased to say the least. How could one watch this trial and not see that?...and I might add that OJ did in fact contact the police to let them know what he was going to do. They were not interested. Please know the facts before your let your feelings interfere with what actually happened. I am not a fan of OJ's but I believe in fairness and the treatment of him is not fair.

they are luckey to be where they are and not in some harsher country for punishment

Leave him in jail, where he belongs now – and he belonged there long before now.

Regardless of whether OJ was actually guilty in the first trial, or actually innocent in the second, I sincerely hope that the report on the decision NOT to hear OJ's appeal is the last that I hear of OJ.

Justice is only served when it's rendered. It was never rendered for O.J. due to shyster defense lawyers, incompetent prosecutors and judge, and idiot jurors. Justice is being rendered now.

O.J. broke the law. He should serve out his prison time in Lovelock, Nevada as ordered by the Judge.., just like you or me and or anybody else that has broken the law. He is not special. Mike in Montana

OJ was found innocent of murder. Leave it alone! Blame it on Furman.
If he had not done what he did, they might actually have proved who did it. I believe he was just trying to get his stuff back. He didn't trust the police and I don't blame him. He shouldn't be in jail. What happened to the guy that stole the stuff? What about the guy that set thim up and taped it? Sounds like a setup to me. He was setup and the mock court put him away because he is OJ. It all proves the system sucks, and the court system is as crocked as the criminals that go thru it. And Mr. Goldman is not a good man. He has cashed in every way he could in his son's death. How pathetic!!

Everyone, defendants and those who claimed to have been victimized, R SHADY and run w/ 1 hellofa crowd and seedy characters.
I lived in LA @ the time of the crime, and met an embarrassed and troubled Arnelle.
I am not and have never been an OJ fan or anything else...EVER. But, a "Jury of your Peers" never took pace in this Trial.
This is a common repeated event in the system throughout the U.S. Does it matter. Of course it does. And I don't mean, just amongst the alternates.
The one interview of a black Las Vegan is ones opinion, but does not represent a thing except for his sillyy short-sighted opinon which is hardly anyone's standard, except his own.
Oh. And no I have never been arrested. And I have never been tried for anything.

OJ is a Boss! he shouldnt be locked up. he hasn't done anything wrong. i was young when the first trial for murder was going on, maybe 12 or 13 but now being older i still dont think he did it. they already took everything from this man with the last case; his time, dignity, money, and even his wife! i understand why he's grumpy. they took everything from this man!. let this man live his life.... not guilty is my verdict! good luck on the appeal OJ. The NAVYS behind you!!!!

Judge Glass clearly had her mind made up from the start. The man deserves a fair trial. In LA he had a fair trial and was found not guilty by 12 jurors. Not one of 12 people thought he was guilty or it would have been a hung jury. Whether you agree or disagree with them LA verdict, everyone deserves a FAIR trial, with an impartial judge. Once we as a society allow that right be be eroded away, then really haven't we lost what we have battled so long to achieve?

I could care less why Simpson is in jail, just so he stays there. Justice was deigned in his murder case but was applied in this case. No one can take property from another person at gun point, not even your own property. A simple call to police to come and assist him in recovering his property and none of this would have happened. He decided on this path to keep Mr Goldman from finding out about the property and taking it from him as the courts had ordered. In short he once again thought he could get away with a crime but failed to take in to account that he was in a city that has a real professional police department and a marked shortage of the incompetents that investigated his murder case. Way to go Law Enforcement.

OJ fell victim to the same system that found him not guilty in the '90's. There are just too many avenues to him getting his things back legally for anyone to believe that he is an innocent man. Any honest attorney would tell him to take the upper road and pursue any legal means in recovering his possessions. Hypothetically, the odds were just as stacked against him in both trials. One trial, he won. In the other one, he lost. It's not a perfect system, but it does work, most of the time. He should have thought through his situation. It wouldn't have taken anyone more than 15 minutes for anyone to see through this mess.

Is it not courious that those who speak for OJ's release seem incapable of using proper grammer and spelling?

I am a 59yr. old caucasian grandmother & wonder WWJD? I watched OJs murder trial everyday because i love court-tv,had i been a juror presented the evidence they were,i would have made the same conclusion they did! So he stood trial & was found NOT guilty in a court of law! The Goldman's couldn't accept that & decided the law didn't matter,&, in the most prejudiced,outrageous civil suit tried to punish him for the first verdict! The whole ordeal intended to pursue their justice & destroy any chance of a normal life for OJ & family & still that wasn't enough of their justice because he was found NOT guilty the first trial & he couldn't have a life because they had won it in their civil suit! Then came Vegas & since Mr.Goldman's only care was to take,take,take,he found another oppurtunity for his vindictiveness,a second civil suit more phishy than the first for now once again he had the money,means,and contacts to make OJ guilty. WWJD,tell Mr.Goldman life is to short to spend it trying to make things turn out our way,to enjoy the family he still has and let Him do His job,He doesn't need you playing judge or jury He knows the answers & all will be held accountable. I think OJ should be able to sue this judge & jury for being stupid enough to have this trial & put him in jail! The evidence pointed to all that got DEALS being the guilty ones! Just because a person is found not guilty doesn't make him innocent it just means the evidence wasn't presented in way that even made it probable.Had i been on this jury i would have said absolutely NOT guilty! The only testimony came from thieves,cheats liars all with criminal records,PLEASE,this evidence was tainted as bad as it was in the first trial!

Cry me a river. I don't really care what he was convicted for. What's important is that this cold, brutal murderer is put away.

Say "Buh bye" OJ. Things always have a way of sneaking up on you on biting you in the butt.

IF OJ is being punished for his past crimes, that is clearly wrong, unamerican, and bad for the country. OJ should be judged by the letter of the law, not by any "impressions" of judges and jurors. I wouldn't want the system to be able to "punish" me, for any bias, and would want the law to be upheld fairly and impartially. Fairness, adherence to the law, is good for all americans.

O.J. Simpson was found NOT GUILTY of murder. If it don't fix, you must acquit! Get over it! This was an unfair trial, it was so transparent that the judge had her mind set to convict him. Mr. Stewart was guilty by association. In the past and presently, countless Black people are murdered by Whites with overwhelming evidence and some confessions and they are acquitted. This was a let's finally get O.J. move without proper review and consideration of the evidence.

Man, don't people get it yet? This is no role model or hero for any group of people. His contempt of the findings in his civil trial, hiding assets, and then using stupid and criminal methods to try and get 'his' property back, all point to a clueless narcissistic, sociopath. Mr. Goldman didn't sue Simpson for money, but to hurt the man who got away with murdering his son. All the money that they receive (HA) goes to charity.

Simpson broke the law in his decision to use threats to get property that he really has no right to anymore. Let him out and someone will suffer, someone innocent.

Simpson didn't get a fair trial, he got special treatment in his murder trial. The evidence was compelling and his money bought an acquital.

You don't go back and steal your own stuff. Nor do you enlist five of your friends to help you. Right there you are either a liar or a dumba$$.

As far as this case goes, he admitted it point blank. There is no question of guilt. He thought he would get off using the same excuses as last time. It obviously didn't work as he is still in the slammer.

Free O.J. so he can get back on the golf courses to find the killer of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Ok, let's get OJ out of jail and allow Galanter to serve the rest of OJ's time in prison. I cannot think of a better place for a crummy defense attorney who represents trash like Simpson. I wonder if Galanter will volunteer to help his friend as he always seems so devoted to Simpson.

I am just waiting for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to come to his aide. They must be busy. I have not seen them run to his side.

can any one honestly say, the previous murder case did not have any bearing on this one? reading some of the comments above, i doubt this.

No way. Justice has finally been served.

I don't like OJ but what might have happened years ago should have no barring on this case. The Jury found him NO GUILTY of Murder..so that's done and over..you can make a minor crime MAJOR to punish someone who was proven innocent by a jury of his peers.

Personally, I would say let him rot. he is a complete idiot anyway.
But, realize that every verdict has a way of effecting someone else who might be in a situation like that..

This guy has got in away with to much crap over the years and now it's caught up with him leave his sorry butt in jail and make him do the time he was given case closed, he's a joke.

Throw away the key

Something tells me Fred Goldman was somehow involved in getting OJ convicted in this trial. As much as I don't care for OJ, Fred Goldman is just as despicable in not being able to move on with his life & stay out of the media. He was hurt no more than the Brown family and they seem to be handling their lives with dignity. At least they're not in the news every other month whining & complaining about their lot in life. PLEASE, Goldman–go away!

oj and scott peterson need to share the same cell FOREVER

Consistent application of the law despite emotion – the core of justice. How many commenters here respond solely with emotion as to how OJ should be treated. It is a test of integrity when we have to decide what to do and what is best in the face of our emotional reaction. OJ did not kidnap anyone in this case by any reasonable definition. While many do not like him for his former murder trial (which they only read about), this emotional bias should not justify unreasonable application of the law. Kidnapping – give me a break!

Everyibe "assumed" he would be found guilty of the two murders. We know the outcome there.

Now what? He has two quality attornreys representing him and Judge Glass did go "afoul" to a certain extent.

Oh, well. It's O.J. therefore will there be a difference in the Court's decision. I say his chances of getting out are much greater that the average lower socioeconomic inmate.

O.J. has'nt yet figured out that he is not above the law!

The only thing missing from this conviction is that he did it. It would have been sweet if he went to jail for something he didn't do considering he wasn't convicted in CA for something HE DID DO!

How is it a sham.. He broke into a hotel room( criminal damage exceeding 1,000$) He and few guys came into the hotel room with loaded guns and pointed them at people and threatened violence. miclious intent to harm or dismember) Forced entry,

false Imprisionment( the inability to leave under ones on free will,under threat of violence , constitutes imprisionment) Unless, each one of those men, had each one of those guns registrated to them personally( illegal use and procurment of a firearm), possesion of an unregistered firearm. Were the guns even a legal caliber? If not, they possesion of an illegal firearm. ( a few months in jail in most states within itself) So, he got off easy and if they injured or hit any of the " property holders" its a list of other charges.

Now as it has been suggested, if Mr Simpson had been in or on his own property and this occured, he would have evey right to "defend" his life and property to a resoable extent.

Let him rot there, where he should have been 18 years ago........, deserved then for the crime, deserved now for this crime.......

Do I think he should be in jail for this? No. But, he should be in jail for murdering his wife and an innocent bystander. Karma is finally catching up with the Juice.

If anybody actually watched the trial in the 90,s they would know why O.J was found inocent.the story that mark furman and marcia clark were trying to convince uswas true,was not possable and there was no way O.J could have commited those murders.But you would have to have actually watched the whole trial like the jurors did.Mark furman fooled you all.

Whether or not he was guilty of murder, I cannot for the life of me understand why he is in jail for retrieving merchandise that had been stolen from him. I believe in justice. He was found not guilty of murder. That should have nothing to do with this trial. Everyone has skeletons in their closet. Would you like it if yours were used against you for the rest of your lives.

Look at the comments......BECAUSE so many of "the people" believe he got away with murder.....there is no way that any trial for this man could be fair!! He wasn't on trial for murder this time!! Tho about 50% of the comments on this forum bring it up!! So that means about 50% of the jury was thinking the same thing!! NO WAY anyone could get a fair trial with those odds....even in Vegas!!

Terrorist have hijacked a private jet with 21 lawyers returning from a convention. They've threatened that if their demands are not met they will release them one by one.

Let's not mistake being a star for being a murdering psychopath. It's just like with every athlete or star. people want to be lenient because of this when all people should be held to the same set of rules. people think that they have some connection to these people because they are a star or a singer, etc. Let's not forget what everyone knows what he did. Let punishment fit the crime. Lets look at Ray Lewis, Donte Stallworth, Michael Jackson, Chris Brown. They just get a slap on the wrist. Do you think your own brother would get the same punishment for the same crime. I'm sick of all these over-paid, high-priced talent that think they are above the law. If anything, history has taught them that no matter what they do they can get out of it.

Hey all. He was not stealing "his stuff' back, since by court order from the civil case 'his stuff' all belonged to the Goldman family as retribution. So what was he doing? Trying to steal "his stuff" back, resell it and pocket the cash under the table, instead of using it to pay the legal retribution he is obliged to pay. This was and is the Goldman family stuff and they are the only ones who had a right to go after it. This action in itself shows how sick a criminal OJ really is.

Revenge, that is what is boils down too, they would have locked him up for traffic ticket if they could, come on, let's keep it real, If you wanted OJ so bad, you should have gotten him the first Trial// Not it's too late, let God be the one to judge him. Find something else to do with your time since you are so Bitter.

Let's not forget Robert Blake (aka Little Rascal,Baretta, i donot here the same out rage when it came to his murder case, and he was clearly guilty.

I am one of those that think Simson was guilty in his first murder trial. That just proves that the Justice system has failed twice. He is guilty of possibly assult and perhaps theft, but come on, Kidnapping. The court let him go when he was guilty. That is the past so the court shouldn't trump up charges now to make him pay for that. Our system is not suppose to be used that way. As I said, the system failed two times. Too many corrupt people in places they shouldn't be.

O.J. and the word squeeze should go together in jail. I'm sure OJ is full of pulp!

Well I am a black man and I do think OJ was guilty of the murders but I can honestly say that he got railroaded this time. OJ played the system the way that it is set up and bought his freedom. It is no different from Stallworth or Vick or any other celebrity.

Simpson should be held in a preferably small prison cell ALONG with his crooked attorneys, from BOTH TRIALS. They are all so full of lies that they believe them!
I hope every single day of Simpson's life is uncomfortable for the rest of his miserable life; it is the least he deserves.
He is a murderer, a thief, a liar, a wife-beater, an abuser, and he wasted all that was given to him. So what he played football; people need to get a perspective on the real man here: an ordinary THUG, plain and simple.

O.J. Simpson has been made an example of by the state of NV, I don't believe he received a fair trial, he was being juded on events that happened over 10 years ago and still be being held accountable for something he didn't do. I don't know OJ personlly, nor do I want, but I do know this OJ Simpson would have been found guilty he was cought throwing a piece of paper on the ground. God Bless OJ and may he forgive all his false accusers, let the past remain in the past, FREE O.J. SIMPSON HE ONLY WANTED BACK WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM HIM!

OJ Simpson was convicted of both robbery and Kidnapping. It is irrelevant that the "Stuff" might be his. The fact that a gun was used and people were held against their will is at issue. Sounds to me like he was fairly convicted. You all need to get over it!

yeah let him rot...he had to know the us justice system was waiting for him to do something stupid and he goes and does this...he should stay there for his stupidity....

This most deserved conviction may not have been OJ's "first" crime. Please remember that he tried to escape from the law in the famous White Bronco. If you try to evade the law, and flee from the law, you have already committed a minor provable crime, often with jail time.

If you were innocent, there would be no need to run away.

Think of how much money it would have cost society if his driver would have hit other cars, pedestrians or buildings. An ordinary citizen would have been locked up. While we're on it, what about his driver? was he convicted then?

The judge in this latest crime trial was very eloquent . Her repeated statements that this latest crime had nothing to do with any other issue was loud and clear.

There were two figures in ancient mythology. One was Themism the goddess of law. She is shown as being blindfolded, for she represents the impartial court system. Her set of scales is balanced. Her sister is Nemisis. She carries out the decision of Justice and gives appropriate punishment

O.J. is where he belongs. He should have been sentenced 14 years ago. He finally got what he deserved.

Correction: O. J. got away with killing a WHITE WOMAN. And a lot of you were still mad as hell about it. I'm not saying you are right or wrong I could really care less. But just call a spade a spade. If it had not been a black white thing you wouldn't have hated him so much. I didn't see this much hate for Phil Spector the first time he got off.

It is scary that there are so many that are posting that he is in jail because "they" were out to get him. I hope none of you ever think I (or anyone else) have any of your "stuff" & think it is OK to come and take it back the way HE and his "friends" tried. Acting like teenage street gang thugs LOL. Maybe that is why so many people are in jail for "stupid" crimes...have so many of us not even a "common sense" of the LAW?! There are a lot of immature people out there who act, AND plan, without any thought whatsoever! Obviously there was a lot of thought and planning put into OJ & Friends' actions....except of course any thought about the consequences WOW , some people and their sense of entitlement is amazing !

Race has nothing to do with OJ'S current problem-he knew right from wrong & as usual choose the wrong path...too bad,so sad. As far as Pat's comment "WWJD"– Jesus would expect that OJ would stay on the right path & again he did not. As far as "his stuff" is concerned :it is just that STUFF !!! you can't take it with you –it's all material objects.He did the crime,he has to do the time. Good luck to Yale for fighting for his client–however he will not win this one.Peace to OJ–he needs it.

Funny, funny comments.

The people who argue that O.J. should be in jail, because he's a double murderer, are missing an important aspect of our judicial system. O.J. is NOT a double murderer. He was found not guilty of that charge by a jury of his peers.

The people who argue that O.J. shouldn't be in jail for this charge because the system is out to get him, obviously have their own questions about his guilt or innocence in the murder trial.

Forget the verdict of the original trial!! Look at the facts, of this crime, and decide for yourself wether he's guilty or not, of this crime.

Anybody who barges into a hotel room with a group of his meanest, armed friends and forcefully takes property from the occupants of said room, is guilty of kidnapping and robbery.

It doesn't matter if it's your property or not. There are ways to retrieve your stolen property that are not punishable by law.

this guy has 9 lives. we should call him cat-man!

I saw the whole trial and I have 3 0 vhs tapes to prove it. I felt the verdict was a correct on.

One personal reason I do not belive that OJ killed Nicole is this:

He would not have killed his wife and left the children home to find her dead in the morning when they awoke.

Many felt he was in a rage and just ran. But natural instincts would compel him to get his young children out – especially if this was a crime of passion. You can't argue that OJ was this calculated killer and then turnaround and allow for an error like this. You can't have it both ways.

Also, there were many questions regarding the evidence being tampered with. After the OJ trial nearly 100 cases were overturned and many inmates were released because of the corruption that was discovered in LA Police departments (Rampart District to name one).

Some people have strong opinions about this trial and they were too young to know or care what was going on at the time. Many have opinions on his guilt and they were at work during the trial and didiin't see it in its entirety. They have formed their opinions from the 6 o' clock news blips. One day I would like to compile the videos on a DVD and allow people to see the trial in full so that they can understand why he was found not guilty and understand why many of us who saw it in its enirety felt that the verdict was apprpropriate.

RG

O.J. is where he should be locked up. He will someday have to answer for the other crimes he has committed but at least the nevada jury decided his celebrity status was not going get him a pass on the crimes he pulled in their state.

I have a relative that is doing life for kidnapping without hope of parole. He also was involved in a situation similar to OJ's. I don't think he deserves to be released. What if it was your Mother or grandmother, Dad, brother or sister would you want someone out on the street that did that.

I didn`t see the first trial so i can`t say guilty or not, but i did see the trial in Vegas and that trial was a real joke!! All objections by the defense were overuled and all objections by the prosecution were sustained. The first trial was not to be mentioned in this trial but prosecution snuck in statements reflecting the first trial and the judge allowed it. Also the judge told Simpson how dangerous guns in a room could be, but when it came down to sentencing, the two that had the guns are now walking the streets. Is that fair?? Whether it`s O.j. Or C.J. or B.J. or whoever it WAS NOT fair!!! Whether it`s your property or not, the way O.J. did it was wrong, but the way Judge Glass conducted that courtroom was wrong too.

I hope that he lives a VERY long life. In jail.

It has been nice not having o.j. in the news anymore....untill now....

You have got to be kidding, railroaded my big toe.

They have him on tape he had a gun, what else do you need to convict, another dead body.

Geez, he does deserve an appeal, since that is out system, but how many other convicted criminals get out of jail during an appeal process. None that I can think of

Please someone tell me. How in the world can anyone in America in the 21th century, get arrested and convicted for stealing their own property? To add insult to injury, how in the world does anyone get charged with kidnapping when they never left the hotel room together. Mr. Simpson never had a gun, so why was he charged with armed robbery and the alleged gunman only received probation? Judge Jackie Glass, the hammer of justice will come down hard on you.
