Default O.J. Simpson to be sentenced [Update-15 years]

The judge will hand down the sentence for O.J. Simpson's ill-advised attempt to take back memorabilia he thought rightfully belonged to him. He could potentially get anywhere from 6 years to life.

What is your guess to what he gets?

I say 10 years.

BTW they have a 'truth in sentencing' law in Nevada, so he will have to serve 100% of the time to which he is sentenced.

I'm bored- added a poll.

*Please note that if there is not a majority winner in this poll- 2,3, or 4 of the options have the right to form a coalition and that will be the determined to be the winner.

Wow. You'd think by dodging a bullet the first time, you'd stay away from anything that could sentence you to years in prison. This man just doesn't learn lessons.

Isn't there some legal clause in all the rule books that says celebrities can get away with murder? (can't remember if Juice set the precedent for that one or not)

In light of that I say 43 minutes. I think Paris Hilton did 37 recently and IMO she is guilty of so much more.

actually, 6 years is the MINIMUM he will get AND serve due the the 'truth in sentencing' laws. Anything less than 6 is impossible in this case.

I chose life because that's where the jerk should be for the rest of his pathetic excuse of a life.
