The Juice Convicted

On Friday, October 3, thirteen years to the day after he was acquitted of the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman, O.J. Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping and armed robbery.

The former NFL player was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.

The 61 year old Simpson was convicted of all 12 counts late Friday after jurors deliberated for more than 13 hours. He released a heavy sigh as the charges were read and was immediately taken into custody.

Sentencing was set for Dec. 5. Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a mandatory sentence of at least two years behind bars, and could bring as much as 30.

Now, I am not passing judgment on this case, but talk about karma coming back and biting you on the ass!
