What has pissed me off to no end is the way this case is being talked about.

Many people seem to be in agreeance that oj killed two people.

Additionally its pretty much proven that LA Police attempted to frame oj for the crime. I mean, heres one example. They go to the crime scene. They collect DNA. Instead of taking that DNA to the lab to test it, the police take the DNA HOME!!! Thats illegal, unprofessional and illegal. On that basis alone the jury was right for letting oj walk. Mark Fuhrman was THE witness for prosecutors, and he was a RACIST. That tells you something about the police, and how serious they took the oj case.


Then you have the second trial, where despite being found innocent, he is ordered to pay 33 million to the Goldmans.

You have Nicole Simpsons sister and the Goldmans milking the tragedy for all its worth, making money off OJ's book. I mean, its gross how often they appear on tv. They are exploiting Ron and Nicoles deaths. Thats sick and disgusting.

You have Mark Fuhrman on tv, giving his opinion. A noted racist appearing on tv giving his views. Why is he credible?

OJ shouldnt be given life in prison or even 30 years. He was found innocent in 1994 or 95 of the murders. He cant be tried again. He was tried two times. A third time would be criminal. There is something called double jeopardy folks!

His crime: he pulled a gun on someone and stole merchandise. He didnt fire the gun. He didnt kill anyone. he didnt harm anyone.

How is 30 years to life imprisonment justice?

He brandished a gun for godssake!

OJ should be left alone. Maybe he should spend 6 months in jail, but more than that is crazy.

He committed robbery. Thats it.

Riccio set him up

and I am so sick of people acting like because he isnt a black activist that that means that the LAPD wouldnt set him up.

You really think Fuhrman thought of OJ as white? You really think racists think of blacks in terms of whiteness or blackness?

Holding people up with guns to take back what supposedly was yours is a felony. If OJ was a rational member of society, he would have called the cops and let them deal with it. He proved who he truly is once again.

I will never forget watching the verdict live. At one point (I forget which charge), the short defense attorney with glasses had a look on his face that was TOTALLY (holy shit, he got away with it).

It's still replayed to this day. If you have seen it and noticed, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Do you mean Christoper Darden?

I remember that day too, I was in college. It was in 1995.

and remember OJ was going to 'find the real killers?" Yea. that's worked out well.

he wasn't tried twice for the same crime in criminal court, Che, he was tried once in criminal court and once in the civil trial, and he was found guilty in the civil case. He owes the family that money, that was the judgment. They're not trying to be exploitative, they're trying to get what's due to them.

I read a credible argument that it was actually his kid, Jason (?) who killed them. Apparently he had a history of mental illness, he liked knives, and he's never accoutned for his whereabouts on that night.

Actually, yes. It IS stealing. You can not take back by force what was taken from you. You still can't steal even if it was stolen from you, and you certainly can't do it brandishing a weapon. That's a felony. If it was stolen then he should have called the police and let them do their jobs. To take the law into your own hands is vigilantism, which is also illegal.

regardless of whether or not he had a weapon, it's still breaking and entering and burglary. from what i hear, nevada (vegas in particular) doesn't fuck around with theft.
