Hey RStar: go look at at the first post in this thread.

oops, my bad....

I read the article before this thread, and it looked different for some reason..

Well, great minds think alike, right Kevy!? ;)

The Nicole/Goldman murders will put him away for life. The most he can serve is 33 years. He will be eligible for parole in 9 years. If parole in Nevada works the way parole in California does, one of the criterion to be considered is risk of future dangerousness to the community. The due process standard of evidence needed to support findings of unsuitability is very slim--far less than the preponderance of the evidence standard by which he lost his civil case. So, the sentence for the current crimes may have been by the book, but the parole hearings will certainly be about the murders.

But if he was found not guilty of the murders (in criminal court), can they consider them? Can the civil judgement be considered?

It seems to me that they would consider "has he been rehabilitated from the act of violent crimes" at a parol hearing. And while they may be unable to consider the murders that he was found not guilty on, the parol board members may still have them in the back of their minds.

But that's just a guess, as I have no inside information about such matters.

as long as Im not seeing his "I got away with murder" grinning face out playing golf and figuring more ways to dodge the civil judgement against him, any time in the hole for him is a good thing.

besides, at 61, any sentence of substance pretty effectively burns him for life.
so yeah, as one who still sees him as guilty, Im pretty satisfied with it

Now I have Alice's Restaurant running through my head.

"Kid; have you been rehabilitated?"

Sure, I did my time on the "Group W Bench"......

:D
