O.J. Might Get Life in Prison After All

It may not have happened the way his detractors believed it should have more than a decade ago.

But you have to appreciate the irony of the timing.

Exactly 13 years after O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ron Goldman, a jury in Las Vegas found him guilty of 12 charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery, in a matter involving sports memorabilia that Simpson said had been stolen from him.

Simpson will be sentenced in two months, on Dec. 5. The 61-year-old former NFL All-Star could be sentenced to life in prison. His attorney says the verdict will be appealed.

"We're absolutely thrilled to see that the potential is that he could spend the rest of his life in jail where the scumbag belongs," Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, told CNN. "Right now there is not much more to say other than we're going to wait to find out what else happens."
