O.J. Simpson Sentenced to At Least 15 Years

America’s sweetheart, O.J. Simpson, was sentenced today for those armed robbery shenanigans in Vegas. From the AP:
LAS VEGAS – A broken O.J. Simpson was sentenced Friday to at least 15 years in prison for a hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, “It was much more than stupidity.”
The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: “I didn’t want to steal anything from anyone. … I’m sorry, sorry.”
Simpson was immediately led away to prison after the judge refused to permit him to go free on bail while he appeals.
Simpson’s co-defendant and former golfing buddy, Clarence “C.J. Stewart, also was sentenced to at least 15 years.
Sure, O.J. broke into a hotel room and held people at gunpoint and tried to take a bunch of stuff that didn’t actually belong to him, but this seems like they’re making a really big deal out of a little bitty armed robbery. What’s the fuss? It’s not like he ever killed anybody.
…oh, wait.
