Earlier today, I couldn't help but think of that day a few years back when the news came out that US forces had captured Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and a spokesman simply said, "We got him!"
Fate finally caught up to O.J. Simpson today, and said "We got him!" as the disgraced former football star/rotten movie actor/arrogant asshole/unconvicted murderer was sentenced to a maximum of 33 years in prison in Nevada for his part in that infamous robbery attempt in a Las Vegas hotel room over a year ago.
Simpson's hunt for the real killers will now be derailed at least 6 years, as he will serve at least that long before he is eligible for parole.
The government couldn't get Al Capone on murder charges, but nailed him on tax evasion charges. I couldn't help but think of Capone as Simpson was being sentenced. Couldn't nail him on a double-murder charges, but got him on kidnapping and armed robbery.
Somewhere, Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman are smiling.

Karma is served.
What goes around comes around. And Q, he has no chance of parole until nine years pass. I wonder how he's feeling this morning waking up in jail and knowing he has more than 3600 mornings (approx.) to come. Justice finally has been done. Great post.
