Update: Alright, it seems that even the networks were confused. Simpson got 15-33 years in prison, being eligible for parole in 6 years. As I said earlier, he’d have 3 more years to serve after that. Therefore, he’ll serve a minimum of 9 years and a maximum of 33.

Update: Alright. His defense attorneys say he’s getting a minimum of 9 years, maximum of 33. The news outlets are claiming parole possibility comes up in 6-9 years, while the attorneys are saying it’s 6. There are apparently two 18-month sentences to serve after that.

Justice has finally been served to the Juice.
13 years after likely murdering his ex-wife and her friend and getting away with it, Orenthal James “O. J.” Simpson has been sentenced to at least 15 years in prison for his role in an armed robbery. He won’t be eligible for parole for the next 9 years.
