O.J Simpson Deserves To Spend The Rest Of His Life In Prison.
He has finally been found guilty of something he did, and on December 5th he could be sentenced to life in prison. I think he deserves this sentencing. "The Hall of Fame football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino....Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun." (FoxNEWS)
For=Life in Prison
Against=Set Free

If he weren't famous, would anybody be arguing about what to do with someone convicted of kidnapping and robbery, even if he weren't knowingly guilty of a previous pair of murders?

He should be locked up permanently with the LAPD as his prison guards.

I'm agreeing only with the sentiment that he needs to finally face justice. Not only is he clearly guilty in this latest cut and dried case but I still believe he got away with murder long ago and I also still can't fathom how he could lose that wrongful death lawsuit and somehow keep lots of money and things of value out of the hands of those who won in that case.

He was an amazing athlete in his day, and even a fun actor a few times, so it's sad to see him fall, but this isn't a case of persecuting a hero of the African-American community, it's a case of fairness. It's about time justice caught up to him. And he was pretty stupid with his legal history to then put a gun in hand and do his own little sting operation. Something has turned seriously wrong with OJ.

But I do agree with those in the Against column that the punishment should be decided by the jury (and/or judge, depending on the law in this case).

I don't know about life. But I would hate to think he gets a lighter sentence because of his celebrity status or powerful lawyers.

I would vote neutral, if there was a category like that:

It is for a jury of his peers to decide. Not us.
