Jeff LichtmanConsidering that he was facing a 5 year minimum and ended up with 9, OJ didn't do too badly. I had set an under/over of 10 years.
In retrospect, I'm not certain whether or not he received a fair trial or sentence; however, I still maintain that had he been anyone but OJ he wouldn't have faced such serious charges for his conduct. In the end, it's very hard to defend yourself when the whole world wants you to fry (case in point: Plaxico Burress. NYC Mayor Bloomberg publicly demanded that he receive 3 1/2 years in prison yet stood silent when former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer received a pass for his criminal behavior).
