    Jury in the original criminal trial was stacked OJs way.

    There were multiple people on that jury who would not have voted to acquit if there were a videotape of the crime introduced into evidence.

    Is the Vegas verdict, a little rough? Probably, yes.

    Anything else?

    Not saying that, and sure as hell am not agreeing with drip.
    Just saying he's never happy -- and he has a right to be angry. Maybe this will give him a degree of closure so he can move on.
     
  3. I don't know what was more obvious - that he should have been convicted 13 years ago or shouldn't have been convicted this time.

    Nonetheless, I celebrate his imprisonment on fucked up grounds.

    Three people and God know what happened that night. Two of those people are dead. Did the Juice do it? Perhaps. But that's over and done with. People made a big deal about it because of several factors that we all know and won't go into because there are a few around here who can't handle writing about it without getting emotional.
    This is just a sad situation all the way around.

    Tell Nicole's children it is "over and done with".

    So are you saying the only legitimate ruling by a jury would be one comprised of retired professional football players of African-American decent, preferably in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and have had legal problems since leaving the NFL?

    "If the last jury did not convict, then this one must not acquit."

    Rosie, in a utopian world, that would probably be considered as a jury of his peers. But this isn't utopia.

    No it won't. O.J. is an afterthought.

    He should have spent every day for the rest of his life living to make up for what he did and enjoying the fact the justice system did him an undeserved favor. Instead there have been numerous scrapes with the law, including some domestic abuse incidents. So if you go swimming with the sharks...
