Remember a few years ago when Ashlee Simpson’s lip syncing equipment broke on the set of SNL and she did that ridiculous little hoedown dance? That is the exact dance I’m doing right now, because two of OJ Simpson’s (alleged) accomplices have flipped, and there is a chance OJ might actually do some time! I’ll wait while you all do your hoedown dance too.

It never ceases to amaze me that people are willing to mess with OJ Simpson. As much as I hate the guy, I would be scared out of my mind to turn state’s evidence on him. But that’s exactly what Walter Alexander and Charles Cashmore, two of Simpson’s accomplices, are doing. The two were in a Las Vegas courtroom yesterday, and agreed to accept plea deals in exchange for their testimony against Simpson.

“‘He[Cashmore] can establish who was in the room, what was said, who had guns, who didn’t have guns, potentially who may have seen guns, who didn’t see guns,’ Cashmore’s lawyer Edward Miley said outside court. ‘I think he wishes he would have never met O.J.’ While Alexander’s attorney didn’t specify the nature of his client’s testimony, Miley said that what the Mesa, Arizona, man had to say could clarify Simpson’s role in the incident.

“‘What Mr. Alexander, I’m assuming, will be able to say is who told them to bring firearms, what planning there was, and what was said and done after the fact,’ Miley said. Simpson and his lawyers have denied guns were in the room. His lawyers have not commented on Monday’s turn of events. Speaking to reporters afterward, Cashmore apologized to his friends and family and said he was doing the right thing by turning on Simpson. Alexander and Cashmore both waived their preliminary hearings and are due back in court Oct. 23.

“Alexander faces up to six years in prison, while Cashmore is looking at a maximum of five—still, that’s a far cry from the possible life-in-lockup punishment that comes with the nine felonies and one gross misdemeanor all the codefendants were originally facing, counts that include armed robbery, kidnapping, burglary, assault with a weapon and conspiracy.”

I would absolutely go to jail before I’d rat out O.J. You know that even if he doesn’t come after you, he knows people that definitely will. It doesn’t matter that they can link it all back to him, the guy is way too crazy to care. And either way, you’re dead, so it’s pretty much a raw deal.

I’m going to start taking bets on how much time he’ll serve. I’m guessing sentenced to 5 – 10, out in 2-3 with good behavior. Assuming he’s not ganged up on and… well you know. Justice is sweet. Best served hot, but I’ll take it cold.
