O.J. Simpson Found Guilty

O.J. Simpson was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint on Friday night. Isn't that the words so many people wanted to hear 13 years ago? Was this a case a justice delayed or the "spillover effect?" I don't know whether he is guilty or not, but I do know that there was no way he would be acquitted this time. Too many people have too many strong opinions about him.

The 61-year-old former football star was convicted of all 12 counts after jurors deliberated for more than 13 hours. He released a heavy sigh as the charges were read and was immediately taken into custody. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after his murder acquittal, could spend the rest of his life in prison. His attorney said he would appeal.

What a sad story.
