O.J. Simpson weighs in on Henry Ruggs’ sentencing decision

Henry Ruggs (#11) walks off field for Raiders after 20-9 loss to Chicago Bears this season

O.J. Simpson commented on Henry Ruggs’ prison sentence Wednesday after the former NFL wide receiver was sentenced to three to 10 years for his involvement in a 2021 fatal DUI crash that claimed the life of Tina Tintor in Las Vegas.

Simpson, who has had his fair share of legal trouble, compared the outcome of Ruggs’ case to his 2007 robbery arrest in Las Vegas. The arrest led to Simpson to spending nine years in prison.

“I know I went to college on a football scholarship, but somehow this math is not adding up to me,” Simpson said in a video. “You’re driving a car at roughly 160 miles an hour on a public street and end up killing a girl and her dog, and you get three to 10 years. You go to a hotel room that you’re invited to, 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 just does not add up to me. I’m just saying.”
