And I would personally push the plunger on the needle if it meant he would go away!!!! I am so sick of this guy. He could have moved to tahiti years ago...never worked another day in his life. Instead he chose to be a EDIT. He deserves everything that he will get.

John,

I respect your opinion. In the case of OJ, a fair amount of public opinion wanted him convicted for something since he was acquitted in the double murder. This is revenge, maybe not racially motivated but unadulterated retribution. It is my opinion any unadulterated retribution in response to our Justice System's decisions indicates a lack of confidence.

Do a search. See the Jury interview after the trial. They claim they were instructed by the judge to disregard any previous OJ history. They claim they did!
I, for one, was not in the jury room and will not second guess the unanimous decision of 12 good people, charged with determining guilt.... beyond a reasonable doubt!

Easy for us to say fry him...but nowhere near as easy when your on a jury!

Jury comments here....

That IS very possible, although it's just as possible to NOT be the case. His lawyers had the opportunity to disqualify jurors for the best possible chance at justice. I for one am confident I could give unbiased judgement, but I bet his lawyer would've tripped over himself getting me off the case if he knew where I worked, increasing his odds of getting a more biased panel. But, I wasn't there so who knows how it went, anybody else? Anybody also know of a better system in use?

The OTHER O.J. trial is wat got a lot of P.D.s to get their acts together on processing and investigating crimes, such as handling evidence. Maybe THAT's why he got convicted this time?

Are you saying he was innocent in both cases? I think anyone that assumes that without sitting in the court room for the duration is predisposed to make a judgement call without the facts. Also with your logic OJ now has a infinite number of "Get out of jail free" cards as any conviction for any crime would be retribution!?!?!?

I have my opinions, but I will always side with our Justice System. "Get out of jail free" cards available for any crime to anyone who has means to acquire them. Let's be realistic, capital makes Law very qualitative and open to interpretation. How does the general public convict the affluent, do we keep trying until their are destitute?

I believe it's a law: you get what you sow, more then you sow, greater then you sow, and later then you sow!

So, only plant what you want to harvest.

O.J. has a good crop to harvest!! He's been planting for a long time. His (crop) bins will be full., problem he has---he'll be in the bin.
