[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 200530, member: 3626"] On a personal level, I thinlk Simpson is a sorry excuse for a human being. That being said, I truly hope he was convicted on the crimes or robbery and kidnapping (which is a stretch in my opinion), not the crimes of his past murders and the punishment fits the convicted crimes. Whether we like it or not, he was found not guilty (not innocent, mind you, but not guilty) of the murders. He was not on trial for those crimes and should not be. I do believe he should have been found guilty of the robbery, even if he was stealing back his own stuff -- that's what the police and courts are for. We don't take justice into our own hands. However, the kidnapping charge is ridiculous. It is very rare for armed robbers, even in extreme hostage situations, to be charged with kidnapping. In this case, it is pure vindictiveness and has nothing to do with justice. To my mind, getting revenge on Simpson isn't half as important as seeing that our justice system works and, in this case, I'm not convinced it quite did. [/QUOTE]
