LAS VEGAS -- O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to a minimum of 15 years in prison for the gunpoint robbery and kidnapping of two sports memorabilia dealers.

Simpson, 61, will not be eligible for parole for five years.

A jury on Oct. 3 convicted Simpson and Clarence "C.J" Stewart of a multitude of charges against them in the Sept. 13, 2007, confrontation with the dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel room.

In handing down her decision, Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass said the evidence against Simpson -- all of which was presented on tape to a jury -- was "overwhelming."

Simpson, his voice quivering at times, apologized to the court prior to his sentencing and said his only intention that night was to retrieve personal items, family photos and sports mementos that he said had been stolen from him years earlier.

"I didn't mean to steal from everybody," Simpson said.

well it's like a reporter is saying now, whether or not you feel he was guilty at the first trial, oj knew after that trial, he would have a chance to prove himself to society of what kind of person he "really" was....and he has surely failed that test......a 2nd time

But instead of being humble and thankful that he was acquitted, he did the opposite, he arrogantly thought he was above the law.

And funny how he was all tearful at the sentencing after being convicted, when he wouldn't even make a statement at the murder trial where he wasn't convicted. Pure selfishness. Only shows humility as a very last resort when he knows he's facing jailtime.
