May he rot in hell.

1. 13 years to the day he was found not guilty.

Odd

[alphafemale]

13. That is pretty strange. I hadn't realized that.

Once upon a time I entertained the thought that maybe he was NOT the murderer.

That disappeared. He hasn't conducted himself like a man who narrowly escaped a great injustice and who then dedicated himself to the better good for the rest of his life.

He's acted like a cocky MF'er who LITERALLY got away with murder and thought he was untouchable and could do any damn thing he pleased.

25. The reading of the verdict was planned that way

the prosecutors wanted to if at all possible...it shows arrogance and grand standing on the prosecutions part to me.

[Botany]

2. The odds by stats that he was involved in the Brown/Goldmam ...

....1 chance in 55,000,000,000 that he was not the killer.

Time for him to go away and never be heard of again.

[obamaforme]

4. Yes, he must be locked up for a long time

His laywers are appealing though. Hopefully, he will find a big burly guy "Bubba" to be his friend LOL

[Botany]

9. Good luck w/ that

The judge sent hin straight to prison and he no longer has money
for good lawyers .... also they have parts of the crime on tape.

11. He has quite a bit of money from his retirement plans that they

can't touch.... And, obviously, he won't be needing the $$ for a flashy lifestyle so the lawyers get it after all and the taxpayer gets to support him in jail..... :shrug:

5. It 's A Tragedy

But we can't forget that he cut two person's throats for doing nothing more than annoy him...

[hlthe2b]

12. Maybe he has some kind of a deeply hidden conscience

after all--one that drove him to keep pushing the envelope so that he would be "punished," ultimately. Who knows? Either that or his narcissism has rendered him stupid beyond belief.

22. I don't know about your odds, but I watched every day of that trial. OJ was NOT guilty, based on the

evidence presented. And, I don't think he killed them (possibly his son did). The police planted so much evidence it was ridiculous. Those jurors weren't stupid. The news media - and their WHITE audiences - were.

[Botany]

23. Those odds were based on

hair human hair fibers (O.J.'s type of hair was found @ the scene and with
the bloody glove)
Blood types the victims and O.J.'s found
DNA
shoe size
blood trails (the blood drops that left the crime scene was made of of O.J.'s blood
and had to be made by a wound to Simpson's left hand ..... Simpson had such a wound.)

After the trial pictures of O.J. in the exact type and size of Bruna Magli shoes
that had left the footprints @ the scene were discovered.

BTW 1 in 55 billion means that if every planet from mecury out to pluto had
populations the size of the earth and all those people went to L.A. on the night
of the killing the only person who could have done the crime and that would be O.J..

26. Good for you!!!

3. Numbers 32:23

"Be sure that your sins will find you out."

[DrDan]

6. a rightful decision for a guy who thought he was above the law

I just wish a similar fate on those in the White House for those who also think they are above the law.

[cobalt1999]

7. Hopefully someone knifes him in prison

Then justice will be really complete.

[endthewar]

8. He would have been in jail already if

the LA police crime unit wasn't so corrupt and Marsha Clark wasn't so inept.

[hlthe2b]

10. Damn... I am shocked......Of course the appeals will being

immediately, but DAMN..... Not that he isn't deserving, but I had my doubts they had the goods on him in this case or that the prosecutor hadn't already screwed it up.

[sugarraydodge]

14. but...

But... but, he can't go to jail. He still needs to find the real killers!

[hlthe2b]

16. You know I haven't even been interested in this trial....

so sure I was that OJ would walk.... Plus, like many, I guess, I am just burned out with respect to him... He is just a very pathetic figure. It wasn't supposed to be this way and yes, I do see the tragedy in all of it... The Greeks would have based an entire new vein of mythology/tragedy around him.

[shadowknows69]

19. I think they let you have a mirror in prison

[NoPasaran]

24. Zing!

[annabanana]

15. May this verdict mark the BEGINNING OF ACCOUNTABILITY... . . !

Think of all the people who have ignored and flaunted the Law since OJ was cleared of murder charges, a verdict that was, at best, questionable.

How much longer will our biggest and baddest criminals be able to IGNORE SUBPOENAS? How much longer will Rove be able to thumb his nose at the courts? When will Todd Palin show up in an Alaska courtroom to answer HIS subpoena?

Cheney and Bush and Rumsfeld and Gonzales and Bolton and Rice and Monica Goodling and Kyle Sampson and Sarah Taylor and Timothy Griffen and Scooter Libby and Mike Mukasey and Lurita Doan and..and...and...

(anyone else have a list?)

[sugarraydodge]

17. The only way

any of those people will see criminal prosecution is if the next administration AND the next legislature investigates and indicts them. Do you really think that will happen?

[malaise]

18. Simpson was not guilty here

He was simply set up because people were annoyed he was found not guilty the first time. He may be an asshole but this was nothing more than circumvention because of the double jeopardy law.

It may make some people feel good, but not those who believe in due process of law.
Funny how Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld will never be tried for anything.

[melody]

20. He barged in with men with guns to steal things

It was done on camera. How could he be innocent?

[hlthe2b]

21. This is not the case I wish had sent him to jail, but...

While you might argue whether he had criminal intent rather than sheer arrogance and ignorance and you might likewise wonder if the henchmen he had with him, who turned states evidence against him, might not have had motive to see him nailed, the facts of the case appear clear....

But it is baffling and not at all "satisfying" (only term I can think of, sorry) that what finally sent him to jail is a crime of sheer stupidity, rather than for the vile murderous acts of nearly a decade and a half ago.

27. Good for you!!!!!
