OJ was sentenced Friday, December 6, 2008 (today) to at least nine years in prison after being convicted on all charges related to a Las Vegas incident last year. OJ cannot apply for parole until 2018. Simpson and company were convicted of conspiracy, burglary, kidnapping, robbery and assault. All crimes were committed in attempt to recover items the NFL Hall of Famer claimed were his personal property.
O.J.’s October conviction came 13 years after he was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman.
Today, before sentencing, O.J. told the judge he was “sorry” and added “I didn’t want to hurt anybody. I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong.”
Jurors were convinced that Simpson and five accomplices robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino, while the defense team argued O.J. was only trying to steal back personal items and that he had no knowledge two of his people were armed.
