Simpson conviction

[julie_m]

Ron Goldman on OJ's conviction: "I only hope his cell faces out toward a golf course."

HAHA, talk about h3ll!

[Eore]

as SNL said;

"OJ Simpson was convicted for armed robbery on saturday, which means he was really convicted of murder"

[LottaBalata]

I'm happy as heck that OJ's going to jail. Personally, I think he should have never had the opportunity to commit these crimes considering he MURDERED 2 people already, but that's our justice system. Hope he finds happiness inside his cell.

Our justice system is one of the best in the world.

Unfortunately, wealth and celebrity can taint it in the worst of ways.

I hope he rots.

You don't detect a contradiction here?

If wealth and celebrity can taint it, it only goes to prove how bad it is.

Well, when not tainted by wealth and celebrity, it seems to work pretty well. What changes do you suggest?

Not allowing it to be tainted by wealth and celebrity would be a start.

that was a politicians explanation.

say whats wrong, and not explain anything

[Mikey]

That is what they call karma Earl.

OJs celebrity affected the murder trial the most.

Wealth was second: Johnny Cochran and the rest of the all-pro trial lawyers didn't come cheap. Third (IMHO) was race. Nobody likes to talk about that one recently. What comes around goes around. I won't know if I'm happy about it until the sentence comes down (hard, I hope).

To paraphrase Churchill . . . Ours is the worst form of a justice system, except for all of the others ones that have been tried.

Just goes to show what an idiot he is. OJ, learn to dial...911. If someone stole your memorabilia, then call the cops. "Hi, this is OJ Simpson and someone just stole some of my merchandise." You don't go to jail over a dispute. You go to Judge Judy.

This is a guy who was living a good life: Collecting a tax free, $400,000 a year NFL pension and living in a tax free state: Florida. He's deserved what he got.

He couldn't. He wasn't supposed to have it. He hasn't paid off the Goldman wrongful death civil judgment yet. Hence, he would have to admit that, if the stuff really was his, he had been hiding assets.

So calling the cops about the memorabilia would have been akin to calling the cops and complaining that someone had stolen your weed. (Which actually happens occasionally. Drugs are bad, mmkay? )

Any money he makes not from his pension has to go to the Goldman's, right? How much could those signed helmets have gone for? The signed photos?

You think someone would have taken advantage of his luck...like Claus Von Bulow. Instead, he's more Robert Chambers.

I thought you realised that I was attempting irony, in that I quoted you.

It's a bit like saying "My car is perfectly alright, but it has rust and won't start" You could start by not having witnesses who are paid and and an education system where future jurors aren't complete morons and base their "opinions" along racial lines. Then you might have a country where people don't think that the Iraq war has something to do with 9/11 or that the bible contains literal truth. Pretty big task - unachievable. But when you acknowledge that its "only" problem is related to wealth and corruption you have to acknowledge that it's a pretty big problem. No doubt that intellectual giant Sarah Palin would have a cuter analogy. God help "you people" if she and McCain get in....

I just thought my sandtrapper friends would like the quote.

It looks as though it was not a good weekend for former NFL running backs with anger management issues.
