The Juice Squeezes Self Out of Plea Deal
O.J. Simpson already pulled an incredibly boneheaded move in his attempted robbery to recover his own sports mementos. But Associated Press reports prosecutors offered Simpson a plea deal that would have cut down his time. Simpson refused it, his lawyer saying there was nothing in the deal that was acceptable.
Gee, after Simpson got a sentence between nine and 33-years I’ll bet whatever the prosecutors offered looks pretty good. The fallen football star will be at least 70 before he’s even eligible for parole. And since he got convicted of violent felonies “good time” credits won’t be on the table. Legal experts are saying there’s no guarantee Simpson will get parole, either.
Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass said this wasn’t any kind of “payback” for the double murder charges O.J. skated on in 1994. But don’t you just know Marcia Clark and Chris Darden are smiling a little bit today? Meanwhile, Johnnie Cochran is looking down and saying “I told that fool to stay away from the legal system.”
