OJ Simpson Sentenced Up to Fifteen Years in Prison - Nine Years with No Parole
On Friday, December 05, 2008, OJ Simpson was sentenced to a minimum of fifteen years in prison, nine of which are to be served with no possibility of parole. According to the trial judge, Judge Jackie Glass, her decision was based solely on his role in the robbery of two sports collectible dealers in 2007 and had nothing to do with his past infamous murder trial.
These are my feelings in the form of a haiku.

I don't even know if I commented on this before. O.J. seemed shaken when he delivered his testimony.
Things catch up to you eventually. That's Karma!
Great job. Saw this on the news and was surprised at how bad he looked. Guess life finally caught up with him.
It's definitely "overdue"!!!!! It just goes to show, you can't ever really get away with doing bad in this world... it will catch up with you sooner or later!!!! Nice job on the haiku as well :)
Clever use of a Haiku here! Nice!
Having escaped once he just got his due.....better late than never.
I am no more happy with the justice system this time around when OJ went to court than I was the first time when he stood trial for murder.
;o)
I think I commented on this before but I came back to read the various comments. Wow, did you get readers to respond!
