OJ sentenced to as much as 33 years.

LAS VEGAS – A broken O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to as much as 33 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, "It was much more than stupidity." The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: "I didn't want to steal anything from anyone. ... I'm sorry, sorry."

Simpson said he was simply trying to retrieve sports memorabilia and other mementos, including his first wife's wedding ring, from two dealers when he stormed a Las Vegas hotel room on Sept. 13, 2007.

But the judge emphasized that it was a violent confrontation in which at least one gun was drawn, and she said someone could have been killed. She said the evidence was overwhelming, with the planning, the confrontation itself and the aftermath all recorded on audio or videotape.

Somehow I think he'll get a lot less time.

[Camillusk]

Oh probably. He'll most likely get special treatment too while he's there since he's a "celebrity".

[Saffi]

I hope he's in the "population" and gets a little karma for all the things he's gotten away with.

[Camillusk]

Me too, Saffi, me too.

If he serves the full time he'll be about 91 by the time he gets out.

I hope he gets what he really deserves, may his nights be full of dreams of life past!!!!  I hope the blood never gets washed off his hands nor the ones who protected him....

Karma doesn't always give pay back but this time I think he can't avoid the bars!!!!

He deserves whatever he gets. General population, great idea.

I just about gagged when he told the judge "I just wanted my personal things. I was stupid. I'm sorry," Simpson said. "I didn't know I was doing anything illegal. I thought I was confronting friends. I thought I was retrieving my things. I didn't mean to hurt anybody, and I didn't mean to steal anything."

[blueyes]

He Didnt mean to kill his wife and her friend either.... Ooops, I forgot. He didn't do that.
