The shame isn't that OJ was properly convicted for something he DID in fact do. The shame is that most people who do the same thing DON'T get convicted for ALSO violating the law. Our system is ridiculously lax and let's murders out in a few years. I think all murderers should have life without Parole unless their convictions are overturned. I don't think you can rehab a murderer outside of someone guilty of involuntary manslaughter. OJ was sentenced on the low end of the guideline and with that conviction there was a mandatory minimum at play. He got off light. He simply wasn't able to plea it down in the interest in judicial expediency. But he did the crime and the time given was totally within and in fact at the low end of what he COULD have gotten if they'd thrown the max at him. He'll be up for parole in only 9 years. Seems like too light of a sentence for armed robbery. And though he got off the criminal portion of his trial, he was found legally RESPONSIBLE for the deaths of 2 people. And then he clearly stated on tape his desire to circumvent the law to get around paying the court ordered restitution.

A thug was convicted of a real crime that he actually committed. He was sentenced on the low end of what was available to the judge. He got off easy. Your complaint, if you have one, should be that few others are held responsible for their actions at all.
