LAS VEGAS — Four former O.J. Simpson co-defendants who took plea deals and testified against the former football star were sentenced today to probation for their roles in the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers.

Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass lectured the men but accepted a state recommendation they serve no prison time. Instead, she imposed terms of probation ranging from three to eight years on Michael McClinton, Walter Alexander, Charles Ehrlich and Charles Cashmore.

The eight-year probation sentence for McClinton, who testified that he supplied two guns and displayed one during the confrontation, drew an angry outburst from Bruce Fromong, one of the two memorabilia dealers robbed by Simpson and the others.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Fromong exclaimed before the judge ordered him removed from the courtroom.

McClinton, Alexander, Ehrlich and Cashmore each pleaded guilty to lesser charges and testified about their involvement in Simpson's September 2007 confrontation with Fromong and fellow collectibles dealer Alfred Beardsley at a Las Vegas hotel-casino. Each could have gotten prison time — up to 11 years in McClinton's case.

The men originally faced charges similar to Simpson and Clarence "C.J." Stewart, the only co-defendant who stood trial.

Simpson, convicted in October, was sentenced Friday to nine to 33 years in prison on 10 counts, including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy.

Stewart was sentenced to 7½ to 27 years.
