[Drip]

An all-white jury will judge O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant on kidnapping and robbery charges.

OJ Simpson didn't have pigment until Johnny Cochran told us about it. He transcended color.

I won't go that far but I think it's pretty good bet that the Juice is going to serve some time on this one.

Jury nullification may take on a whole new meaning.

That was Gil Garcetti's major blunder to charge OJ downtown instead of in Brentwood, where he chose to live.

They couldn't get him the first time, so they're making damn sure they get his ass this time.

From what I understand, he could get some very serious time on this one. That right?

I don't think there's any doubt about this. Definitely the sense I get, too.

Sounds like it.

Each could face life in prison with the possibility of parole if convicted of kidnapping, and mandatory prison time if convicted of armed robbery.

This case won't end well. The composition of the jury pretty much ensures divisive rhetoric will be in vogue across several media platforms, as they say, if there's a conviction.

Actually the thread title is not true. There are 10 whites and two Hispanics among the jury, and two blacks among the six alternates.

Now if you wanted to say "No blacks seated on main jury," then that would be accurate.

So you're saying he wouldn't if it was a mixed color jury?

I can't speak for OJ but his lawyer is clearly saying that.

Enjoy Carson City, Juice ...

The people who get screwed if OJ goes to jail are the Goldmans..how will OJ pay them the settlement.....oh, wait...

 

[imjustagirl]

And the jury has reached a verdict. Supposed to be read at any time.

I have a theory about how this case came about:

It was a plan hatched over 2 or 3 years by people who wanted O.J. to pay for Nicole and Ron and to serve jail time for killing them. So they procure a bunch of his favorite mementos and hatch this scheme in which O.J., being a stupid man by nature, would go berserk, irate, become irrational and go after any "thugs" who had his collection of goodies and planned to sell them. The schemers banked on O.J. coming after them with a gun. They knew his arrest on gun charges, among other things, would get him sent to the clink.

And an all-white jury deciding such fate? Too perfect.

I will be shocked if he is anything but guilty. I think said guilty verdict will put him behind bars for a long time.

And sweet vindication for Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson will be had by many.

You know, Xan, any time I think your ramblings can't become any creepier, more incoherent or basically less human...you always find a way to top yourself.

Congratulations.

 

[Songbird]

Relax. I'm tired and probably didn't type it coherently, but the premise holds the same.

 

[imjustagirl]

you really think people, pissed off he didn't go to jail, spent two to three years "plotting" to have him come at them? Really? A man they already think murdered two people...they would enrage him to a point of bringing a gun to a secret meeting?

How in the WORLD does that even make sense, regardless of the damage you've done to your brain?
