The sentencing for former Las Vegas Raiders WR Henry Ruggs has many discussing the outcome, including O.J. Simpson.
The former NFL running back took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the ruling, saying the sentencing and what Ruggs is guilty of “doesn’t add up.”
Ruggs was sentenced to between 3 and 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to driving 156 mph under the influence and crashing into a car killing 23-year-old Tintor and her dog in November 2021.
“You’re driving a car at roughly 160 miles an hour on a public street and killing a girl and her dog and you get three to 10 years. You go to a hotel room that you are invited to retrieve your own personal stolen property, property I now have because it was ruled mine by the State of California and you get 9 to 33 years. Same courthouse, same city, same state, I don’t know, somehow it just does not add up to me,” Simpson expressed in the video.
Back in 2008, Simpson was convicted by a jury of an armed robbery in Las Vegas and sentenced to prison after a 2007 confrontation with two sports collectibles dealers in a room off-strip at a Las Vegas casino hotel.
He was sentenced to prison for 33 years with a chance of parole after 9 years. He ultimately served 9 years in Nevada until 2017.
Prior to that, O.J. was acquitted in the 1995 double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. He was found liable for the deaths in 1997 by a California civil court jury that ordered him to pay $33.5 million to victims’ families.
