sorry not to be sharp about this but I turned the other cheek when he insulted law abiding people with showing the world you got enough money you can kill someone and get away with it, if god wants to embrace oj so be it, I shall not, for him or the likes of him sorry this has struck a wrong note with me, feel sorry for him never. he is a perfect example of issues that are wrong today, if you got enough cash, then you can get away with anything.

Sorry Roz I am not lashing out at you but rather OJ and what he did and how the whole case was handled, the whole thing was a joke here in the states, was a blatant abuse of money and it was a farce, and it was a farce on the behalf of the police too, storing blood in a vehicle trunk all weekend long ? stuff like that didnt help either made one suspect did they actually blotch things up on accident or ? so as you can see its still a sour grape in many of our eyes

Roz if I came off too harsh sorry

This botch-up of the trial was noticed here in the UK too, as we had full coverage. We also felt he was guilty but got away with it for various reasons....botched forensics, money to afford best legal team etc.

I do agree that he belongs in jail, and the way we understand this trial over here, it actually had nothing to do with his previous trial but these separate crimes of kidnapping, gun charge etc?

Sorry to anybody who thought i'm sticking up for him, i'm not....guess i just got a weird attitude where i feel ill at ease if i think folks are gloating over even a justified fall.

Peace and Love to you,
roz

Come on, the man wrote a book of how he would have killed his wife. That alone is proof his mentality was and is way off. To think he thought he could go up to a sports memorabilia seller and demand his stuff back with violence only shows his arrogance and disrespect for our justice system. That seller bought the items fair and square. I have many sports memorabilia friends that are buyers and sellers and it hit home.

I prayed for the victims and those who were affected by him too. They are the ones suffering and outwardly so. While he was writing books, smirking and playing golf, they were crying, grieving and questioning their loved ones death. His children were affected, his family, friends and anyone personally involved in the whole thing. Those who work to make a living now have to worry about people like him coming after them for something they have done legally.

I don't need to justify my religious beliefs but I do believe in an eye for an eye and that we are taught to be law abiding people. Those who choose to do otherwise get what is coming to them. I don't think this is payback. I think it is karma and had nothing to with his past. I think he just didn't get away this time.

Making jokes about him in jail was funny to me. I wont deny that and wont apologize for it. He was a football player so the jokes were in line with that. Heck, I have a rare set of football cards of him from his first days as a football player to the trial of Nicole's murder and his jail picture. They will be worth a lot of money some day. That's just how we as collectors think. It's not a bad thing, it's how a living is made. Maybe being in jail and going through that will wake him up. But as we all know, being in jail as a high profile person will get him special privilege so he wont be harmed.

I do appreciate your post and this is not a bash on you. I just wanted to explain my reason for my comments.


I agree with you that he just didn't get away with it this time and rightly so. A lot of things were wrong about his first trial and ...i just hope the families involved can have some peace now, if justice is properly served and he gets the sentence he deserves.

Guess i just took y'all remarks wrong way...it's all very sad what he's done and got away with in my opinion, guess i find it hard to see the funny side but y'all have the right to show your relief however you wish.

I know your post wasn't a bash on me, sincere apologies if you took mine as a personal bash on you, it wasn't.

Peace and Love to you,
roz

In the first trial when he was laying his head on his lawyers shoulder thanking the jury...well it really made me sick.

Then with this trial he walked the streets around here like he was a hero or big time celebrity. Keep in mind I live in Vegas so he was on the news quite a bit. He was cocky and arrogant even in handcuffs at the beginning of the trial.

During his trial my family was also going through a sentencing trial for the punk who murdered my nephew. Going to the courthouse and trying to get in was unreal. I am glad this is over because trust me the freaks did come out for this.

I am so tired of his arrogance and I am glad he is going to pay with losing his freedom. I question whether all of the convictions will stick because our judicial system is flawed. Saw that firsthand going through the court system during my nephews killers pretrial fiasco. I left the court room shaking my head at the revolving door system we have.

OJ will be a hero in prison. Thugs are impressed with the type of guy he is. He will probably be separated from most and hopefully this will give him time to rethink his life. My hubby has a saying..."if ya play with poop (being nice here) you will get some on you" Oj is swimming in it. ...Sue

((((((snoozie)))))) i'm genuinely sorry to hear what happened to your nephew we feel here in the U.K our judicial system is flawed also, very seriously.

we had full coverage of the original O.J. trial here...and most of us felt he was guilty but due to the trial being flawed, money to hire best lawyers etc...he walked. and yes, he DID gloat beyond belief afterward...guess i just believe to much in 2 wrongs don't make a right...i.e. just coz he gloated, i can't sorry.

Peace and Love to you,
roz

Roz this was a separate trial for different charges. He is just another number now, its his bed he made it now he can sleep in it.

the original trail he was acquitted, unfortunately, for obvious reasons. then he had a civilian trail and was sued for wrongful death and found guilty, almost immediately. Can folks over across the water buy their way out of trouble, too? like i said I was sorry for being a bit course, it just irks me to no end the whole affair was an insult to what we claim our country stands for, a complete mockery.

Pending motions or delays, it's scheduled for Dec. 5. It will be a defining moment in the history of our judicial system.
