The question actually is:

Some would say this sentence for OJ is retribution for him "getting away with murder" 13 years ago.

If he got the same sentence that anyone else would get, then fine.

Always with the proviso that I didn't hear the evidence and don't know all that much about American law. Mainly because I just don't really find him credible. And what kissmeforlonger said.

Yes and no. He seems to have got the same sentence and the others and to have done something both stupid and dangerous. However, the only reason he's such a hot topic in the first place is all us white folks were so outraged when he got off last time, while the black community in LA hadn't noticed the same degree of concern when many of their number were being banged up for stuff they clearly hadn't done (Ellroy's LA Confidential (Not the film, the whole book) is a fine primer.

Question - do you mean "Do you think this is just?" or "do you think that the jury convicted as retribution?"

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

He's receiving retribution by being jailed, but I don't think that was WHY he was convicted in this case.
