O.J.'s Felony Charges Now Surpass Number of Remaining Fans


Well, everyone's favorite whipping boy is now up to ten felonies against him, including kidnapping. He's now looking at life in prison if convicted on all of them. If you're saying to yourself, how is that possible if they never left the room, let me attempt to explain.

Kidnapping is not just what you see in the movies when they leave the ransom note with New York Times cut out letters. Generally, kidnapping occurs where a person is intentionally captured, detained, confined, or moved against his or her will, usually for the purpose of engaging in some other crime. There are a few more elements, including that the kidnapper must actually intend to and knowingly confine the person, but this isn't the bar exam so I will spare you.

The bottom line is that the "justice" system let him get away once and they are making certain that does not happen again. 10 felonies? At least one of them should stick. You may see him behind bars after all. Poor Sydney and Justin.
