It is rather automatic at least in my state. It is not a reward to get it so much as it is a punishment to lose it since it is otherwise guaranteed you get a day for a day on most misdemeanors and 15% on felonies out of the gate.
Now the real test for/of OJ starts. How long before he reverts back to his old self. Meaning ... glad-handing and acting like business as usual. Seemingly not a care in the world. I say not very long.He may try to capitalize on some kind of BlackLivesMatter agenda.Especially since the N.F.L. has been corrupted. He certainly didn't seem to age much in prison. I think that baffles many.Me included. But then he's always been a topnotch athlete { Track & Filed and Football } And in prison there isn't much to screw up ones health. The food may be mundane and ordinary.But he isn't able to carouse all night and drink or do drugs.Not that the " Juice " had a problem with any of that. Early to rise and early to bed.Plenty of opportunity to exercise and read.He's probably Really Horny ... however. Look for this to be a problem.Who will OJ attempt to find romance with.?
Not so fast Orenthal.That $ 33.5 Million civil jury award in 1997 with interest has ballooned to around $ 70 Million. Fred Goldman is not one to forget or merely go quietly into the sunset.That 1997 civil judgement was renewed at $ 57 Million in 2015.That according to Goldman attorney David Cook. I think OJ may be dining more on canned sardines than exquisite seafood like Lobster or Oysters Rockefeller.
