You have got to be fucking kidding me!
Blood money row as OJ ‘admits’ killings
ELEVEN years after O J Simpson walked free from America’s most controversial murder trial, the former star athlete is at the centre of a row over reports that he is being paid $3.5m for an autobiography in which he describes how he “hypothetically” might have murdered his ex-wife and her male friend.
Relatives of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, the two victims of the 1994 double murder that made headlines around the world, expressed disgust and frustration that Simpson might be continuing to profit from a crime that most Americans are convinced he committed, despite his notorious acquittal.

The book is reported to have the working title If I Did It. Details were published by the National Enquirer newspaper last week on the same day that Goldman’s father, Fred, launched a new court attempt to seize some of Simpson’s assets in part repayment of a $33.5m judgment against him after he lost a 1997 civil court case.
The National Enquirer’s account could not be verified this weekend but the newspaper provided extensive details in a four-page report on what it called a “tell-all blockbuster”. Simpson is said to describe how he “grabbed a knife from a man who accompanied him to Nicole’s home — and moments later found himself covered in blood and looking down on the bodies of Nicole and Ron”.
The man’s a freak, so let him speak
#30, what? Spoil the mystery?
oh, and would not be so sure that he could not be prosecuted for it again. It often happens that someone is acquitted of State drug charges, only to be charged again by the Feds …
As a practical matter, I think it could only happen if he actually admitted that he did it, rather than hiding behind a hypothetical.
#31. “Why is there so much yearning to find OJ Simpson guilty. ”
Prosecutorial mindset. The sort of people who would rather let the innocent rot than grant them access to DNA testing because the victims need “closure,” regardless of whether the actual person is being punished. The idea of someone being charged and beating the charges incenses them. Except, of course, if it is someone like Ollie North.
But I digress.
In the OJ case, rather than point a finger at the system that put on such a lousy case, they would rather rage against the guy who insisted upon his right to a jury trial and got a favorable outcome.
I miss those high-drama days. I loved everything about the OJ show, from that first night when the camera shot from the copter gradually disolved into graininess and the country sat there looking at nothing for ten minutes or so, right up to the final day when the “Not guitly” verdict delivered the expectation that people would be compelled to take a long hard look at the undeniable problems of racism , police corruption and the fact that the rich so often can get away with just about anything.
But that’s all so last century. We’re here now. And I’m still doin’ the same old thing.

Liar ! Liar ! Liar !
The extraterrestrials are making you say that.
31. On the other hand maybe the OJ jury was filled with people like 0113 (who would legally sit in judgement upon others as a juror) who feel they have a right to do as they please because they see a “bigger picture.”
A cop lies on the stand? Was it a lie like Simpson saying he would never own the brand of shoes known to be at the murder scene and then being photographed with them on? Or was it a lie that had more to do with book deals and movie making and less about the murder case? Keep in mind that if you answer my question wrong, like the cop, everything you’ve ever written on this blog will then be proven to be false.

Someone said that those who believe OJ was innocent were a stupid/smart thing. Well, my Mom is very intelligent, and I would trust her opinion or analysis of just about anything….but in our house, we NEVER say out loud that OJ was guilty. My Dad and all my brothers and I believe he was guilty as sin….but we never say so, we always tread softly around that topic.
Best part is, we have no idea WHY she is so adamant(even if the case was bungled, and all the other stuff), but my Dad says she has never wavered from the first news break of the killings to this day.
Woman….what can I say.
He did it
I still think that the worst criminal element in the OJ Trial was the jury who acquitted him. These people are garbage. No excuse for the verdict!!!!!
