He's Gone

[3113]

Plus I'm sure that one's life expectancy in prison is shorter if you're already assumed to be a double-murderer (and especially if one of your victims was a woman).

From prison guards, maybe, but he's going to be with prisoners who probably (sadly) sympathize with him for killing his wife, and probably (sadly) admire him as a football player rather than abhor him as a murderer.

Ya know...I keep remembering the phase...if the gloves don't fit you must aquit.

don't know about you...but liked to me looked those gloves fit...

One of his cronies has written a book in which he says OJ simply skipped his arthritis medicine so his hands would be swollen for the glove demonstration (which was itself a dumb ploy by the prosecution.)

I've been watching way too many talk shows.

OJ was attempting to hide memorabilia from the Goldman family because of the 33 million dollar judgement.

Let me start by saying that I hold no brief for OJ. Based on all the evidence that was produced, I think he was as guilty as hell. He got off because he was rich and famous, and also, there likely wasn't a sngle black person on that jury that hadn't been pulled over for driving while black, shadowed while shopping for a ring in a jeweler's even if he had more money and credit than the shop's employees, or taken in for questioning because they happened to be in the same neighborhood where some other black person had held up a convenience store and shot the clerk, even if there was a foot of difference in their heights and three shades of difference in their complexions. Yes, I can't help but think there was a bit of jury nullification going on that day.

If it had been some one in a different position than Nicole Brown Simpson, like someone at the next encoding machine to yours at the bank or teaching the third grade class next to yours in the elementary school, and she'd turned up dead after having been beaten up by her husband several times before, I don't think people would have many doubts as to who'd done it.

But on the other hand, OJ's memorabilia had become rather a drug on the market. I doubt he could get $3300 for it, let alone $33 million. Nearly eveyrone despises him. Nobody seems to want his autograph anymore.

Maybe the guy really did just want the last links to his glory days back.

I remember the other trial I was PISSED when he got not guilty. I HOPE they put him away for a loooooong time or at least until he croaks.

He's going to have to learn to sing.

"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen..." and other prison dirges.

 

[shereads]

I like him. He was the black cop in Naked Gun.

He'd be okay if he weren't so murdery.

Talk about fussy

He was allowed to keep his pension from his football days. I don't know how much it was but I've wondered how he was able to have a home in Florida, belong to a gplf course club, etc. He must have managed to hide some money somehow, or leeched off of friends.

Norm's funny as hell.I haven't seen him on anything in ages except commercial voice-overs.

He declared himself bankrupt at the time of the court decision, moved back to florida, and lived parsimoniously on his protected $20,000 a month pension!

20 freakin thousand dollars a month!!

I just had a very pleasant mental picture of OJ in his cell, with his cell mate. His cell mate is a 6'8", 400 lbs. member of the Arian Brotherhood.

His cell mate has him bent over his bunk with a glove covered fist shoved up OJ's ass as he whispers in his ear, "Now that the glove does fit, you will submit". I bet Nicole and Ron would agree.

Ew.

Appealing because he had an all-white jury who had a "bias" against him based on the past.

I wonder how his lawyer will explain away the tape in which OJ says "Make sure nobody leaves this room!" -- that's kidnapping, and any juror, white or black, has to find him guilty of at least that if they're doing their sworn duty. An appeal, I think, will be a waste of money and only prolong the inevitable.

I hope they grant a change of venue to Simi Valley, CA.
