Defense seeks minimum 6-year term for OJ Simpson
None
OJ Simpson's lawyers have asked he receive the minimum sentence of six years in prison for his October robbery and kidnapping conviction, calling a recommendation of 18 years "inappropriate and knee-jerk."
Simpson was found guilty on Oct. 3 in the armed robbery of a pair of memorabilia collectors at the Palace Station hotel and casino in Las Vegas. "Simpson has never previously been convicted of a crime. Thus, he now stands before the court as a first-time offender," defense attorney Gabriel Grasso told the judge in court papers filed in advance of Friday's sentencing hearing. (Reuters)
