O.J. Simpson finally found guilty of something

What a lovely wedding gift for Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stern!
Thirteen years to the day after O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her “friend” Ron Goldman, the American judicial system finally found a charge that will stick. El Jucio has been found guilty on all counts in the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room more than a year ago. Simpson faces a prison sentence of 15 years to life. O.J.’s lawyers are sure to contest the verdict on the grounds that this time, the jury was all-white.
The 61-year-old ex-gridiron great (and even better movie star) stared at his shoes, sighed and shot daggers at the messenger while the verdict was being read. The jury of nine women and three men returned guilty verdicts on 12 charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Simpson and co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, 54, also convicted of the same charges, were both handcuffed and taken into custody. Judge Jackie Glass set a Dec. 5 sentencing date.
Paramedics were called to assist Simpson’s sister Carmelita Durio, who gave many memorable performances during the 1995 trial, when she collapsed on the floor after her brother was escorted from the courtroom. (Insert: canned laughter and thunderous applause.)

Coined slammers?!?!? I though it said “Con in the slammer.”
Other than being a “beautiful collectible” and “a piece of history,” WTF is a coined slammer?
I’ll tell you what it is: It’s a cheap way to cash in on the criminal antics of a blood-thirsty ex-gridiron star a a year-and-a-half after the murders took place.
And what’s with this “Limited Edition” stuff? The only thing that’s limited is the mentality of anyone who would fork over fifty-bucks for a set. These things are probably still popping up in parking meters throughout Southern California.
