      Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He’ll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.

      How much divisiveness did he cause?
      How many screaming arguments?
      How many families did he break up?
      How many bar room fights?
      How much pain for grieving parents?

      Fuck him, he’s a cunt.

        According to other comments here, referring to OJ’s case, this is not likely to happen.
