American Legal System

Here's an example of how stupid the legal system in the States can be.
OJ Simpson was convicted in December 2008 for kidnapping, robbery, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and other charges for trying to obtain memorabilia he claims belonged to him from dealers Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong. He was sentenced to nine to 33 years and still faces time for four weapon enhancement sentences, followed by consecutive terms for two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
So, he came up for parole and was granted parole. The thing is, he was granted parole for some of the charges but not all of the charges. Stupid. If he's not eligible for parole for everything, why waste the time (and money) to go through the parole hearings?
I love this country, don't get me wrong, but, DAMN, there is a LOT of stupidity among those in charge.
