If he cared so much about his children, he wouldn’t have left them alone asleep in their beds at 10PM, and in a condo with lit candles, and with their mother hacked to death in a bloody pool at their unlocked front door, and with the opened entry gate…while he flew off to Chicago. Yeah, what a caring guy, James.

“I wish for Bush, Cheny and Rumsfield………………..many many sleepless nights. I also hope they get the Justice they all deserve.” Me,too.

Dona, From the complete absence of peace my family has experienced since my brother’s death 2 months ago….I can imagine that 1.000 fold would not come close to the torment of losing a loved one in a horrible way and then seeing the responsible person walk free. To find some eventual measure of peace in that would require unearthly levels of courage. It makes me angry just to think of it, and that smarmy OJ going free after what he did. And then how dumb can a person be to use guns to retrieve autographed baseball/football/photo. The law just doesn’t apply to him. Guess he isn’t going to be out on golf courses every day looking for the real killers for a very long time. I saw a photo of him with his girlfriend who looks like an 18 year old Nicole. And with his $22,000. a month NFL pension, his first wife of his oldest children works at WalMart. An all around jerk. His accomodations certainly have changed a lot in last 13 years. From Rockingham mansion to a tiny cell. I agree, it’s good to see some justice done even if it has nothing to do with us personally…still an outrage to see people like him walk. You could see by his face he knows there’s no escaping this time. Some more justice that a woman judge denied bail and will be sentencing him. I hope he gets the max too.

oops, the tape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqtRoNE_Es0&NR=1 Looks like this time he’s cooked. And the judge is one tough lady.

Two attorneys stating that he’ll get a min. of 15 years and that he has little grounds for appeal. He rec’s $22K a month NFL football pension….wonder what happens to that.

JMK, Am not sure if I believe in ‘Karma” per se…..as there are too many innocents who suffer. But I do believe in a kind of collective retribution that what you do over time for good or bad comes back to you. So that is a kind of Karma…..and OJ has earned it. Burn baby burn. Stay in your cell for life you bastard!! Normally I am not that vindictive, because all of us are flawed and deserve compassion. But in some cases, yes, and this is one.

Phyllis, So true! He has been unrelenting…and more power to him!!

OK, Carol….we finally agree on something, totally.

Give me a break. He murdered Nicole and Ron Goldman in cold blood and for that he should be locked up. Google their autopsy/crime scene photos and then come back and say he shouldn’t be locked up for life. He BUTCHERED two innocent YOUNG people with their entire lives in front of them. She did EVERYTHING she could to get away from this insane nut.

Everyone knows he did it. The lawyers who all defended him are dead. Even his best friends/lawyers knew he did it. Even they got what they deserved for defending him, very early death…knowing he did it. All of them.

And I was at UCLA….cross-town rivals…and everyday I was at the John Wooden Center, playing racketball or out at the Marina Del Rey boathouse captaining sail boat races…..or at steak houses around town where all the athletes hung out and knowing all the athlete stories. OJ was gifted but a total hot-head arrogant a**hole who thought he could get away with anything…..including murder. He did it alright. And I say justice is served. Send the jerk to the slammer for the rest of his life.

Read ‘The Chalice and The Blade” by Riane Eisler if haven’t read it. Probably available from libraries. To me, the most imp book any women can read to understand how we arrived at where we are today, ie with one sex dominant over another. Terrific, eye-opening history.

Here’s another article….there were many more ‘13’ coincidences: LAS VEGAS — In a city where luck means everything, O.J. Simpson came out the big loser _ and his unlucky number in a case full of bizarre twists was 13. He was convicted of an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13 and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary of his Los Angeles murder acquittal. The Las Vegas jury deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial. And then, as only the racking sobs of Simpson’s sister broke the silence late Friday, the lights went out. Court marshals flipped on flashlights and shouted for everyone to stay seated. Only the judge knew what had happened. It was 11 p.m. and the courthouse lights had shut down automatically. “Timed out,” Judge Jackie Glass said in a fitting epitaph for the story of O.J. Simpson, which has long haunted America. The 61-year-old Hall of Fame football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos. Prosecutors said two of the men with him were armed; one of them said Simpson asked him to bring a gun. Once convicted, Simpson, the sports-idol-turned-celebrity-pariah, was handcuffed and led from the room with his co-defendant, Clarence “C.J.” Stewart. They could spend the rest of their lives in prison. “There is justice,” said attorney Gloria Allred, who has represented the family of his slain ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. “Justice was delayed, but in this case it was not denied. Now that he may spend the rest of his life in prison, the law, and not O.J. Simpson, will have the last word.” “Still, many of those in the courtroom couldn’t believe the verdicts. Simpson’s sister, Carmelita Durio, fainted. The sister of Tom Scotto, whose wedding precipitated the hotel confrontation, wailed. His wife, Sabrina, wept. Some observers said the Las Vegas case paled in comparison to the “trial of the century” in 1995, a yearlong opus in which Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her friend Ronald Goldman. A rapt nation followed the Los Angeles trial. Tales of a gruesome murder and a bloody glove, as well as the celebrity defendant, drew a media frenzy. In Las Vegas, Simpson’s fate played out in a small courtroom dotted with empty seats. Even the stunning verdict came as most of America slept, oblivious to the irony that Simpson might spend the rest of his life in prison for what most perceived as a petty crime, a tussle among dysfunctional middle-aged men. Simpson’s Las Vegas defense tried to tell the jury that the two cases had nothing to do with each other, but it was a losing battle. “I don’t know that one trial cancels out the other,” said Loyola University law professor Laurie Levenson, who attended Simpson’s murder trial. “People will always be troubled by O.J. For the people troubled by the Los Angeles acquittal, this case will make small amends. Saying finally there is justice, at least from a legal perspective, is very crude way of looking at justice.” She predicted that Stewart, 54, will have a strong chance for reversal on appeal because he was forced to stand trial beside Simpson. “O.J. was toxic, and he has been toxic since 1994, and this jury was just ready to clean up the mess,” Levenson said. Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter said Saturday he felt bad for Simpson but even worse for Stewart, who got dragged along in a campaign to convict Simpson. “This was just payback,” he said of the verdict. “They were on an agenda.” Galanter and Stewart’s lawyers promised to appeal, in part because unlike the predominantly black jury that decided Simpson’s murder case, this panel included no African-Americans. Neither Simpson nor Stewart testified. Tom Scotto, who wept in court, called it “a public lynching.” “Was this something to put someone in jail for the rest of their life for? It’s a total injustice. There was no justice served in that courtroom,” Scotto said. It was Scotto’s wedding that had brought Simpson, a close friend, to Las Vegas on that fateful week in 2007, and details of wedding plans, flowers, a cake and parties formed an ironic counterpoint to testimony about Simpson gathering up a posse that included two gun-toting men to confront memorabilia dealers who were peddling Simpson’s personal property to the highest bidder. The case was set in motion by Thomas Riccio, a collectibles broker who tried to bring in the FBI when he heard that two memorabilia dealers were planning to sell a trove of Simpson artifacts. Failing to get their attention, he helped set up a “sting” by promoting an anonymous buyer who turned out to be Simpson. Riccio, who has peddled goods including video of Anna Nicole Smith’s breast implant surgery, saw a chance to profit by recording the confrontation between Simpson and collectibles dealers Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong. He rented a cramped hotel room away from the Las Vegas Strip for the meeting and planted a digital recorder atop an armoire. Riccio then sold the recordings of the six-minute confrontation for $210,000 before turning them over to police eight days later. Although they couldn’t be authenticated, the recordings became the heart of the prosecution’s case, along with audio recorded by gunman Michael McClinton at two wedding parties. The recordings were sometimes garbled, but Simpson’s voice came through loud and clear: “Don’t let nobody out of this room.” The words formed the basis of the prosecution’s kidnapping charge. The former football hero also was heard accusing the men of stealing his possessions. His lawyer would argue that Simpson was on a recovery mission to reclaim the artifacts of his life. But District Attorney David Roger argued that ownership was not a defense to robbery. Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life in prison. Armed robbery carries a sentence of at least two years behind bars and could bring as much as 30. Simpson and Stewart were taken to the Clark County jail, where the football star will live in a 7-by-14-foot cell, far removed from his ranch-style home in the lush Miami suburbs. The once-gregarious entertainer doesn’t have a cell mate. He lives in the company of white concrete block walls, a small toilet and sink, and a wooden bed covered with a thin cushion. He probably has a view of a scruffy Las Vegas street through two slit windows. It will be his home until at least Dec. 5, when he and Stewart are scheduled to be sentenced. They would then be sent to state prison. Even before the verdict, Simpson appeared resigned that his luck had run out. He had been prepared for the worst, his lawyer said. And in a conversation with The Associated Press on Thursday, Simpson implied as much, saying, “I’m afraid that I won’t get to go to my kids’ college graduations after I managed to get them through college.” ___ Associated Press writers Ken Ritter and Kathleen Hennessey in Las Vegas and Greg Risling in Los Angeles contributed to this report

He terrorized Nicole and got off the hook over and over because he was “OJ.” He beat the car windshield in with a baseball bat with her in the driver’s seat. Would lock her in the basement of their house and leave her there in the dark for hours. Beat her until once she ran from the house in a bra and sweatpants and barefoot hiding in the mud behind bushes in the dark before the police came.
