    MSNBC isn't provided here by Comcast, so I don't know if anywhere but the West Coast had it live.

    MSNBC broke in here in Michigan.

    OJ Simpson and Lawrence Phillips sent to jail on the same day? Amazing!

    Juice picked the wrong town for a black guy with carloads of past baggage to place himself in that position of potential jeopardy.

    Uh, I didn't write that. Point of Order asked this question.

    IJAG, we had two threads running when the verdict was read. Thankfully, there is only one.

    But knowing Orenthal James Simpson, this thread could get locked and another one opens up. Let's bank on that not happening!

    Would you be happy if someone murdered your son, for no reason, and walked, to the celebration of millions of people?

    Three people and God know exactly what happened. The man was acquitted of the crime yet people have a difficult time of letting go. Now, he's been convicted by a jury that definitely wasn't of his peers.
    No one was killed in this latest case and it doesn't appear to be worthy of life imprisonment. The man is 61 years old and in failing health. He'll more than likely die in prison because of the established guidelines.
    At some point, in my opinion, the Goldmans wanted revenge and got greedy. The two don't exactly go together like peanut butter and jelly.

    He was found "not guilty" by a jury.

    He was not acquitted.

    He was also found liable by a civil jury and did everything he could to hide his assets to avoid paying the plaintiff. That's criminal in and of itself. And if you think he didn't do ithe murders, seriously, you should read some of the books. Yes, he got lucky on the roulette wheel the first time around and this time, karma came back to bite him in the ass. I have no problem with him staying in prison the rest of his life for this charge. He got 13 years of freedom he didn't deserve while the victims' families had to watch that. And I'm sure his kids will be happy to be someplace he can't hurt him.
