Simpson has already served far more time than his coconspirators in the Vegas robbery. IIRC Simpson was unarmed and yet the ones carrying the guns got lighter sentences.

I know everybody wants him permanently locked up for the murder of his ex. Unfortunately he was aquitted of that criminal charge.

There’s no credible reason to extend his prison stay for a non-violent robbery in Vegas. Especially considering that he was retrieving his own possessions.
