Is 15 what they added out to be?
I thought it was more like 20-25
Most were concurrent, but a few were consecutive.
Added all up it was like 81 years or something crazy.
Good for him.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

he will do a minimum of 15 years. Not sure how that works, but he'll be back on the streets in
2014, I'm thinking.

Yup.
That tells me there is definitely something wrong with the way he thinks.
......
In the interest of respecting the law - above my instant need for justice - I
like to catch/convict folks for the bad things I know they actually intended
to do.
I understand the dangers of self-help, but I aslo understand the frustrations
of trying to nail thieves and recover property when LE refuses to act.
The mob got what the system had to give them in 1995, and the same thing
happened in 2008. It may "feel" like a nice day for "justice," but it cannot be
so when the law is ill-used.

A fairly small mob - compared to LA - was screaming that Goldman is a money
grubber and that the trial was "racist."

The current president could do a partial commutation.
The pending president would never do it.
Why couldn't the current President grant a full pardon?

He certainly, legally, "could."
My use of "could" was meant to point to a remedy that MIGHT be a bit more acceptable
to the current mob. A kind of cut-the-baby-in-half solution.
A full pardon would tend to indicate a notion of a "mistake." That is hard to sell.
(Libby got a partial commutation for that reason.)
A partial commutation could be couched as both "compassionate" and "reasonable."
A bad outcome at some prospective parole hearing would/could amount to a life-sentence.
To avoid that likelihood, a strong argument could be made for partial commutation.
However, the folks advising on such an action might see a risk to public safety. And,
based on the guy's past conduct, they could certainly be right.
But, a determinate FIVE-Year sentence might calm him down and get the reckless
syndrome under control.
If an appeal was successful, the result would not be satisfactory for Simpson. Another
trial - unless racist moonrocks hung the jury - would likely render the same result as
the first.
.....................
I scanned a draft of the notice of appeal. The issues are interestimg, but I am not
sure if they are compelling.
1. Jury misconduct. Juror questionaires may contain mistakes/lies. The foreman or
others may have done some wrong things during deliberations. At least two
African-Americans may have been wrongfully excluded from the jury.
2. The judge limited defense-examination of the SCUM that testified against Simpson,
in exchange for a free pass. Docs revealing their past SCUMMERY were disallowed.
3. Instructions to the jury dealing with issues of "intent" were not accepted for charge
by the judge. The statutes seem to make "intent" a relevant issue for the jury to consider,
according to YG.
(On a keeping it real level, I doubt that a whole bunch of folks actually believe that OJ
went on a kidnap/murder mission in Vegas. Some of what he did, is not even a crime in
many jurisdictions. If I had been in OJ's position, the chances of me being overcharged,
as he was, are pretty close to ZERO.)

Alan Dershowitz's gang could be players, if the appeal gets outside of Nevada.
The Ninth Circuit is often disposed to demanding "perfect trials" instead of just "fair trials."
......................................
None of my views on any of this should be construed as evidence that I do not KNOW
he murdered two folks and got away with it. If we are going to have "faith" in the jury
system, we gotta go with it even when juries are FULL of idiots and marooooooooons.
I just don't like the idea of nailing people for "anything I can find," rather than for what
they actually did. I watched the Vegas trial, and it had problems.
If I was Ron Goldman, I am sure I would feel differently. But, that's why we don't allow
the family members of a subject crime victim to serve on the jury.

Converting to a wide receiver so late in his career may not be such a good idea.
