John,

I think you forget that he WAS found LEGALLY responsible for the deaths of 2 people. That's no light finding. Just because he skated on murder charged due to his money and fame, he could not escape being held responsible. Combine that with someone who was involved in an armed robbery and those should be legitimate aggravating circumstances to give him a more serious conviction sentence once he refused a plea deal. He got the very low end of what he could have gotten. Usually, when someone refuses a plea deal and is later convicted, the system doesn't give them the very lightest sentence available. They give them something at the higher end. OJ once again got off light. And he only got off that light due to his fame and money and high powered attorneys. Had he been an unknown thug who had been responsible for 2 deaths and was covicted in this case AND had refused a plea offer, he would have gotten a harsher sentence.

Be angry that criminals get off easy. Not that some have a harsher sentence than others. When you do the crime, you are putting yourself up for the most severe sentence legally available. If you get anything less, it's at the discretion of the courts. You have no right to complain even if you get the harshest sentence possible. So don't do the crime in the first place.

Sorry.. no tears here for OJ. And people are perfectly correct in their feelings of joy that a guy who got off on 2 murders is finally getting punishment he deserves for a brand new action. Just because someone skates on a criminal case doesn't at ALL mean they didn't do the crime. And since it's become obvious even to the most stringent doubters that he did commit the murders (and his actual testimony in the public civil trial was a good indicator of the truth) it's hardly wrong for anyone on the planet to be glad that a murder is behind bars finally. And if OJ had been shot down by one of his thug friends, I think everyone would have had the perfect right to cheer his death as well. The world would have been a better place. It hardly makes people wrong for cheering the obvious.
