My keen legal sense, only enhanced by years of viewing repeat episodes of Law & Order, tells me that today they’re about to put the squeeze on The Juice. Facing sentencing today, Orenthal could receive anywhere from six years to life.

The latest chapter of O.J. Simpson’s legal travails comes to a close Friday when he is sentenced for leading a ragtag band of hangers-on in the robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a cramped Las Vegas hotel room. Simpson, 61, faces a possible sentence of life in prison after his conviction Oct. 3 of kidnapping and armed robbery, among other charges.

According to court papers filed this week, state parole authorities recommended that Judge Jackie Glass, who once chastised Simpson as “arrogant or ignorant or both,” sentence him to at least 18 years in prison. Thomas Pitaro, a defense attorney who teaches at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas law school said judges here tend to closely follow such advice.

White women of the world and the houseboys who service can feel safe once again. The Juice will no longer be on the loose, at least temporarily. No way they give dude life or even the suggested eighteen months. Six years, state time. Shortened sentence for good behavior. Son’ll be back on these streets in time for the next BBQ or Malibu Beach party.

UPDATE — Runningback buried alive. After 15 years of chasing his ass, they gave him 15 years.
