O.J. thread
Obviously non-baseball related.
Since I live part of the year in the Las Vegas area, I have been following this saga. Putting aside his legal history, and even putting aside the fact that almost any other person probably would not have been charged as OJ was charged, and perhaps not even charged at all…
I think that if a person does something that any ordinary person could easily have done (how many of you had ever had someone steal something from you, and one of your inclinations was to find some “thugs” and get your stuff back?), had no real “criminal intent,” and did not hurt anyone, they should either NOT go to jail at all (even if they technically committed a crime), or should go to jail for a short period of time.
Giving him 9 to 33, or whatever the sentence actually was (it is confusing), is a joke, in my opinion. Again, putting aside who it was.
