I recently returned from the great state of Teax, specifically Houston and am sort of catching up on a few current current headlines. Strangely, the continuing saga of Mr. Simpson was really what you would call a major story in Houston in contrast to various states that I have spent time in lately. I am certain that there is much more interest in Los Angeles, however after his wrongful death civil trial with the Goldman family.. As you probably are aware by now, former Bill player O.J. Simpson was sentenced to 9-33 years in jail for his role in the armed robbery which went awry in a Nevada hotel room. It was a fairly touph sentence (however that is not especially odd for this judge, who has a rather touph reputation in general) for what was almost funny, had it not involved firearms which could have caused serious injury. he may not have as good lawyers as the first case, when he had the dream team which was made up of some of the nation’s best lawyers like Robert Shapiro, etc. I think his wrongful death civil trial cleaned him out, however.
All in all, Simpson, who is sixty-one years old, may spend the rest of his life behind bars unless he can win his appeal or manage to win an early parole. It appears nine years is the minimum sentence, however, and Nevada may prove a toupher place to be paroled early than California would have been. He has repeatedly stated that he was simply attempting to recover sports memorabilia stolen from him.
Although no one actually suffered personal injury, 2 of the robbers happened to pull out firearms during the botched robbery.
The judge has stated more than once that the sentence had nothing to do with Simpson’s previous acquittal for double murder in Brentwood, California. It is almost a Page 2 story in the newspaper by comparison. I think a big part of that is the calibre of his Lawyer team.
In the first trial he had the help of the “dream team” and this time he could not afford a Lawyer of the status of Shapiro or the law Firm of John Cochran.
On the subject of Law, by the way, if you live in Pennsylvania and require a dedicated Houston wrongful death lawyers then you may wish to consider the Law o Firm of mark Rosenberg, one of the best in Pennsylvania overall.
According to articles and reports from several respected News agencies, Department of Corrections spokeswoman stated that O.J. arrived at High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs.
This is a medium security facility and is around 45 miles or so northwest of Las Vegas. It has some three thousand beds and serves as the intake center for new southern Nevada prison inmates, according to an Associated Press report online. Simpson reportedly gave out candy bars to his fellow inmates.
