Two Miscarriages Of JusticeO.J. Simpson's 1995 acquittal on murder was the result of overwhelmed prosecutors, All Star defense attorneys, and foolish jurors.
His 2008 conviction and 15 year sentence on dubious charges of armed robbery and kidnapping is the result of overzealous prosecutors and a Judge who wants to appear tough on crime.
O.J. should be serving a life sentence for murder.
The unfortunate failure to convict him of murder is no basis to send him away for 15 years on heavily exaggerated grounds.
