O.J. Simpson Gets At Least 15 Years in Prison

O.J.'s sentencing was completed today for charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and assault in a 2007 incident.

Via CNN.com:

A Las Vegas judge sentenced fallen gridiron great O.J. Simpson to at least 15 years in prison for leading an armed confrontation last year at a Las Vegas hotel room over sports memorabilia. He could be eligible for parole in nine.

His voice shaking, Simpson had apologized in court and insisted he was merely trying to recover property that had been stolen from his family. He was convicted of leading a group of armed men into a room at Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

"I didn't want to steal anything from anybody," Simpson said, adding that among the items he sought to recover were a wedding ring for his daughter and family photos for his son.

After everything w/ the murder trial of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, you'd think O.J. would've stayed out of trouble & the limelight!! He'll have a lot of time to think for sure!!
