Los Angeles - Four days after OJ Simpson was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison on armed robbery and kidnapping charges, four of his former co-defendants were sentenced to probation after taking plea deals and testifying against him. Michael McClinton, Walter Alexander, Charles Ehrlich and Charles Cashmore were all with Simpson in October 2007 when he barged into a Las Vegas Hotel room, where he threatened two sports memorabilia dealers whom he believed had property stolen from him.

McClinton, who admitting waving a gun during the confrontation, was sentenced to eight years probation, while the other three men pleaded guilty to lesser charges and were given sentences ranging from three to six years of probation.
