If he meets the legal requirements, then yes, he should, if not, then he should stay in jail. People get all bunched up about the killings, but they aren't part of this process. His crime, his behavior in jail, his future outside of jail and his age are the critical factors from what I understand. Everything else MUST be ignored.
 
Nine years for armed robbery first offense seems long enough
 
He has done more than enough time for the crime he was convicted of, punishment for crimes he was not found guilty of is unjust.

From what I read a few months ago, there is no reason to deny his parole because he qualifies for early release: no prior felony convictions, over age 60, good record in prison, participated in various programs, etc. The guy is getting out. I'm pretty sure if it.

Now, do I want him to get out? Hell no.
 
Should by what standard?

Legal: Yes, parole him
Gut feeling: **** him
 
To me his sentence was way overlong for the crime he was convicted of as it was.

After the murder trial he should had let the country as too many people was looking to get him in one manner or another.

The judge who sentence him became a TV judge and the promotion for her show was for a short time the Judge who got OJ.

He received the most time for that crime for a reason--he set it up. But, nine years served for what was basically a bunch of criminals robbing another bunch of criminals...yeah. Plenty long enough.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

Should be paroled legally.

Should not be paroled if I wrote the rules.

You had me 'til "Hell no."
 
I voted "Yes".

Drum roll please.... as we await the Parole Board decision!
 
I have a better question. Why in the world is the hearing a 'live' event on all major outlets?
 
A "Smackdown" shutout..... 4 - 0 Parole Granted!

How ya' feelin' now OJ? How ya' feelin' now?

Keep in mind, I firmly believe none of us escape our Karma. He has to answer to his.

Maybe you're too young to remember the murder trial.

PAROLE GRANTED.

Not hardly, ma'am. It ,(the interest), speaks volumes about us as a people. If you don't mind, why does his parole outcome seemingly please you?

PS I was working in a Ford dealership at the time the verdict was rendered, ('96), when the time came, all the people that would fit into the customer lounge, (only place with a tv), crammed in to hear.There was an audible gasp when the verdict was read. It fell along racial lines.

Rule of law is more important than justice. The state had their chance in the murder trial, they blew it. He should be judged on his conviction and time spend for that crime and if appropriate paroled.

Excuse me while I go shower as I suddenly feel dirty.

Agreed. Two separate events. I just don't understand the seeming jubilation of some of the posters. Maybe they forget this quote:
"She'd be alive if she hadn't answered the door with a knife."

He was sentenced for the murder not his actual crime. People kill people and don't serve nine years. If our justice system means anything at all, it means that we don't use the system to punish people for deeds for which they were not convicted.
 
He paid paid his dues according to the justice system, but the perfect karma would be that he gets hit by a car driven by a nice young Jewish man out on a date with a nice older lady.

People kill people and don't get convicted! You identify as a female, I would think that fact would lead to a harsher stance on OJ Simpson. The two cases were as separate as they could be, given the high profile of the individual. Court system worked, OJ was sentenced to 30+ years and was paroled after almost 9 served. "If our justice system means anything at all?" Where have you been? Money walks and the poor people do time, many times taking a plea because if they don't they are threatened with longer sentences. Justice is peeking out from under the blindfold! How big is your wad?

And the bastards even pre-empted the soap operas, are there not enough news channels on TV. I think we should sick General Hospital's Sonny Corinthos on him. I bet this is the first ever televised parole hearing. I wonder how the DOC was paid by news orgs. ?
