Sentencing day for O.J. What do you think he will get?

Post by f.sciarrillo »

Today is sentencing day for o.j. What do you think he will get?

I am saying a minimum of 15 years. Although, I wish he would get life.

The thing that is not setting right with me is that even though he might get sentenced for that long, he will be eligible for parole in five years !!!

He got 15 years ... Good for him!

All they have to do now is build a golf course at the prison so he can spend his days looking for the real killer from his first trial.

Here is more info:

Here's the breakdown of the 10 total counts:

1. 12 months
2. min 12 months, max 48 months, concurrent to count 1
3. min 12 months, max 48 months, concurrent to count 2
4. min 26 months, max 120 months, concurrent to count 3
5. 15 years, eligible for parole at 5 years, concurrent to count 4
6. 15 years, eligible for parole at 5 years, concurrent to count 5
7. min 60 months, max 180 months, concurrent to count 6
8. min 60 months, max 180 months, concurrent to count 7
9. min 18 months, max 72 months, consecutive to count 8
10. min 18 months, max 72 months, consecutive to count 9

Counts 5 and 6 also carry consecutive enhancements of 12 to 72 months, which must be served before he can be paroled.

Time served: 64 days.

The first 8 counts are concurrent, so after 5 years, counts 1-4 and counts 7-8 will be served and he'll be eligible for parole... However, those counts carry enhancements, so he still has to serve those minimums before he can actually be released on parole.

What does it really mean? That the only charges that really matter are 5, 9, and 10. He will do at least 9 years before he can be released on parole and he maxes out at 33 years. (All minus the 64 days time served).

He'll probably end up doing 9-10 before he's paroled.

In addition, the judge denied bail if OJ's lawyer finds a reason to appeal the case. So during any appeal process he'll still be locked up.

The is about right, Ron. There was talk about the goldman family wanting to be there to witness it, but I am not sure if they made it or not. I find it funny how justice gets served for one thing, but not another. Of course, he should have known that it was going to catch to him sooner or later.

The Goldman's were there. I think those numbers are pretty close, but even the lawyers are confused because the sentence was so complex.
What I'm not sure of is whether the consecutive enhancements to sentences 5 and 6 can be served concurrently.
