    Saw an interview last night with a fellow inmate and he said those guys inside revered OJ and wanted to rub elbows with him; so no, no chance of that.

    Interesting story from a few days ago about F. Lee Bailey, who defended O.J. and was in a host of other famous cases. He's bankrupt, and living in an apartment above a hair salon.

    F. Lee Bailey in 2017 - Lee Bailey on O.J. Simpson's Parole & Being Disbarred

    When I was in high school, I read his "Defense Never Rests" book that he wrote about some of his cases. I found it quite fascinating.

    Nicole Brown Simpson’s family kept a low profile Thursday — except for her incensed sister, who ripped into The Juice for having the audacity to say before a Nevada parole board that he’d lived a “conflict-free life.”

    “I’m like, really, you beat my sister, regardless of . . . murdering her and Ron [Goldman],” Tanya Brown told TMZ. “The fact is that my sister has diary entries dating back to, what, 1978 about abuse that was inflicted.”

    Before being granted his freedom by the four-person Nevada parole board, Simpson insisted at an hour-plus hearing that he’d been “pretty good with people” and lived a “conflict-free life.”

    Random story, but what the hell ... During a class project in high school back in '94, I came across an encyclopedia photo of OJ with a big afro that I found sort of funny. So I scanned it and brought it to a local printer and had a t-shirt made with the picture for the presentation I had to make for that class. My assignment was to "defend" OJ in a bit of a mock trial. It was essentially just me making a "closing argument" for his innocence (half the class got assigned prosecution, half got defense).

    The day the verdict was delivered, our teacher asked us all to raise our hands as to how we thought it would go. I was the only one who raised my hand for "Not Guilty." Mind you, I didn't really doubt he did it, but I watched that trial after school every day and I had no doubt he was going to get off the hook. The lack of understanding of DNA evidence by the general public at the time, combined with Dennis Fung's bumbling testimony and Fuhrman's racism pretty much locked it up.

    O.J. was found not guilty on 10/3/95. This topped the Hot 100 ...

    So one of the parole board commissioners decided it would be a good idea to wear a Kansas City Chiefs tie to the hearing for an ex-NFL star. Maybe he got an autograph afterwards?

    What? It's not like he was serving in a parole hearing for Tyreek Hill.
