The civil suit has absolutely nothing to do with why OJ is sitting in jail today. OJ is sitting in jail today because he was arrogant and thought he was above the law.

* O.J. Simpson was found guilty of all ten charges.*
ITA, the Goldman and Brown family were robbed of any justice whatsoever. I saw OJ in a golf cart looking into a camera and taunting Ron's father. It was played all over the news that night. The only way he could make OJ pay was via a civil judgement. OJ wouldn't be sitting in prison right now if it weren't for that law suit. I'll always remember the judge's words...'I don't know if you're stupid or arrogant but I've come to the conclusion you are both' (paraphrasing).
IMO
