In the kidnapping and robbery case a Las Vegas judge today sentenced the former football star O.J. Simpson, at least 33 years prison term, at which time he would be 94 years old.
Under the sentence handed down by Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass, Simpson would be eligible for parole in 2017.
The sentence came after an extraordinary address in which an emotional Simpson sought to justify his conduct at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino.
“In no way did I mean to hurt anybody, to steal anything from anybody,” Simpson said. “I just wanted my personal things.”
Simpson, 61, was convicted Oct. 3 for kidnapping and armed robbery, among other charges stemming from the Sept. 13, 2007, encounter at the off-Strip casino.
