NextImg:OJ Simpson says Henry Rugg's sentence for fatal DUI crash 'does not add up to me'


O.J. Simpson called out the same court that sentenced him in Nevada for its sentence for NFL player Henry Ruggs.

Ruggs was sentenced to three to 10 years for driving under the influence resulting in death as well as for possession of a firearm while under the influence. Tina Tintor, 23, and her dog Max both died in the crash. A coroner later determined that Tintor burned to death. She suffered inhalation of combustion products and fractures of the nasal bones, right ribs, left forearm, and left hemothorax, among other injuries.

"You're driving a car at roughly 160 mph on a public street, killing a girl and her dog, and you get three to 10 years," Simpson said. "You go to a hotel room that you're invited to retrieve your own personal stolen property — property I now have because it was ruled to be mine by the state of California — and you get nine to 33 years. Same courthouse, same city, same state. I don't know. Somehow it does just not add up to me."

Simpson, 76, was convicted in 2008 for orchestrating an armed heist in a Las Vegas casino in 2007 in which he took sports memorabilia. He was charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. He served nine years in prison for his conviction. His original sentencing at the time was for 33 years with the chance of getting parole after nine. Simpson would end his parole two months early for good behavior.

Additionally, Simpson was acquitted of the killing of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1995. Two years later, a civil jury found Simpson liable for wrongful death and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Brown and Goldman families.

Simpson maintains his innocence in the murders.

Meanwhile, Ruggs, a former wide receiver for the NFL, was released from the Las Vegas Raiders in November and remains on house arrest.
