[QUOTE="witzend, post: 200546, member: 99"] MB, I did watch some of the recent trial on what used to be court tv. As the statute reads, he committed both robbery and kidnapping. Even if something would eventually legally be determined to belong to you, if it is in someone else's possession and you take it from them by force or intimidation with one or more other people to back you up in that force or intimidation, that's robbery under the statute. He could have called the police and asked them to help him retrieve his belongings and he didn't. Kidnapping doesn't have to mean taking someone anywhere. It can be holding them somewhere against their will and by force. He's on audiotape saying (I'll leave out the foul language) "Don't let anyone leave the room until I get my stuff back!" When your homies are big brutes and they have guns (even if they don't have guns) that's robbery and kidnapping. I don't see it as justice for Ron and Nicole, though. It's justice for this thing, but he should have been in jail all of this time. Also, release while on appeal is only for rich people, and he can't access any of his money that's tied up in his house in Florida or his pension in CA in Vegas because it will go to the Goldmans. I think he will go to jail while he appeals, and that he doesn't really have the money for an appeal anyway without selling the house. The law says they can't touch the house in Florida, but if he sells it, they get first bite at the apple. He was robbing the dealers in Vegas because he's house rich and bank account poor. He just doesn't have the money for the dream team again. If he appeals, he'll likely appeal from a jail cell like the rest of the schmoe's in there. They took him into custody immediately after the verdict. [/QUOTE]
