Shortly before 11PM last night, the Las Vegas jury reached a verdict of guilty on all 12 counts for The Juicer including armed robbery and kidnapping. Honestly, I do not see how any juror could not think about the publicized murder trial he faced 13 years ago to yesterday's exact date. OJ could face life in prison on the kidnapping charge alone. Even if the judge does not throw the book at him, the minimum time to serve on that charge is 13 years. OJ is 61 years old. Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, argued that the investigators targeted Simpson and filed overblown charges and that there was no criminal intent. Yale is appealing the verdict. OJ is scheduled to be sentenced on December 5th, and will remain in the county jail until then.
I am sure the judge and the jurors will have book deals before this week is over. Do you feel OJ got a fair trial?
