Four years is light. Just ask former Yankees pitcher Jim Leyritz who is facing 15 years for DUI manslaughter.
OJ, on the other hand just had one of the baddest group of attorneys around versus the most incompetent group of prosecutors. Maybe it's just southern California prosecutors in general, but they have demonstrated a stunning inability to land a conviction in any high profile case. The Melendez Bros, Phil Specter, O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson. Maybe Marion Jones should've moved to have her trial held in Los Angeles.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
