Would you think that's a good or bad sign? Or just plain ole Deja Vue?:confused:

[QueeeenBeeee]

Would you think that's a good or bad sign? Or just plain ole Deja Vue?:confused:

And CNN reports that the jury deliberated 13 hours..........

interesting

[kellabeck]

They've been out all day, correct?

I am hopeful but nervous. Justice, PLEASE!!!!
Handcuffs for Simpson, PLEASE!!

[QueeeenBeeee]

On CNN a short time ago they went live to that Ted dude........forget his name this late...........lol

he reported that if guilty on all counts OJ would be taken immediately into custody............wonder what counts have to be guilty to get that??

I'm praying for all of them, but what happens if not all counts are guilty?

Guess we'll see:)

[psbperu]

Why did we jump to a new thread in the middle of waiting for this verdict? Some people are over on the old thread.

This is very confloozing.

Oooo - that is very strange - you know how to hum that song - doo doo do do, doo doo do do.?:rolleyes::)

Enjoy.

[Joan Weiss]

They've been out all day, correct?

I am hopeful but nervous. Justice, PLEASE!!!!
Handcuffs for Simpson, PLEASE!!Yes. Jean Casaras said they ordered lunch and dinner IN the jury room. They really wanted to wind it up today. imo

Why did we jump to a new thread in the middle of waiting for this verdict? Some people are over on the old thread.

This is very confloozing.


Usually when a verdict is reached, always a new thread........at least that's been my experience..........

At this point who cares where we are as long as we get to type GUILTY:biggrin:

[sunbunny]

Okay, I took the time lag to make the guacamole and virgin mojitos.

well, heck... that sounds better than the frozen taquitos i offered on the other thread! :cuss: i'll take a non-virgin mojito tho. :o

The threads aren't locked, so if you like the other thread that's fine.

I believe this was probably set up to separate the "deliberation" from "the verdict" so we could discuss it in depth.

I'm fine, wherever anyone goes.:)

[barskin&co.]

well, heck... that sounds better than the frozen taquitos i offered on the other thread! :cuss: i'll take a non-virgin mojito tho. :o

Well, you have to bring your own mo, then. You have a grateful recovering you know what here!

[QueeeenBeeee]

He stated if O.J. is convicted on all counts, he would be immediately taken into custody.

He then stated if O.J. is convicted on the most serious charges, he would still be immediately taken into custody.

Paraphrased.

Thanks Landshark!:seeya:

Good to see ya!

Yes oj is going down !!!!!!!

[psbperu]

Terrific...guilty across the board!

very, very sweet

[Pinetree]

I'm stunned.....I didn't think they'd get him on every count!

Polling the jury.


Tears in the courtroom over "innocent" killer finally going off to prison!!
Why are these people in tears?? Yeeesh!! He's had 14+ years that Nicole and Ron never had. And 13 years of undeserved freedom.

How ironic that Simpson should finally be brought to justice after trying to thwart it by hiding assets from the Goldmans and that's what set these actions into motion.

I love it.

[tiny paw-prints]

OMG! Justice Served!!!

what a wonderful night for Lady Justice



For Ron and Nicole and ALL of OJ's victims :rose:

[tashi]

Both remanded to custody now...

[RGG]

Hope OJ has plenty of loot in the off-shore banks for all the appeals that will be submitted.

WoW! What a deal.

Ooops - into jail now!

[kellabeck]

handcuffs!! There he goes!!


YES!!!!!!!!

[psbperu]

Whoa...motion denied, both remanded to custody!

[barskin&co.]

Beautiful, he's in cuffs again. Remand!

Thank god!!!

Bail denied both remanded!!

[Fallen Angel]

Dec 5th 9am......sentencing

[RGG]

I wonder how much Scotto has invested into OJ - why do they seem overly upset - more so than OJ's sister/daughter?

[Fallen Angel]

13 years and 13 hours. Karma is a b***h!:D

AMEN.....:rose:

[Shells2]

And it happened 13 years to the day since that outrage.


So glad they found him guilty TODAY of all days....

What a great night! :beer:

[Joan Weiss]

Sentencing on Dec. 5th.

[kellabeck]

They are putting the cuffs on him on CNN right there, right now! Scotto and wife are crying!

Why you'd want to befriend a double killer is beyond me.
:shrug:

He testified for him, too. If it hadn't been for the wedding, Scotto would have been on trial, too.

[mistywilkins]

I :rose: Judge Glass

[Shells2]

My thoughts and prayers are with the Goldman's :rose: This little victory hardly makes up for the lose of their son, Ron.

True.. but something tells me they are gonna be smiling in the morning :)

And it happened 13 years to the day since that outrage.

That makes it even better!:rose:

13 is my lucky number :D

I will bet you Fred and Kim Goldman will be ask to comment on the verdict, tomorrow.

[kellabeck]

My thoughts and prayers are with the Goldman's :rose: This little victory hardly makes up for the lose of their son, Ron.

Agreed. But how galling was it for them to have to see the killer out on the golf course, laughing at them?

Ultimately they got justice. Delayed but not denied.

[Tracian]

OMG...finally...and how poetic...

I am speechless...but am teary eyed...

Maybe now Fred will have some peace...God knows that the man deserves it..

Nicole and Ron...were there today...and now will be able to rest..

:rose::rose:

Now on a nasty note...OJ had the nerve to looked shocked...LOL..third time is a charm..

[psbperu]

Judge Glass was so serious, gotta love the way she denied bail, remanded them to custody.

[curiousD]

True.. but something tells me they are gonna be smiling in the morning :)

I bet the Goldmans are just so happy and releived at this.

[Joan Weiss]

If the Goldmans hadn't filed and won that civil suit, this stuff would never have been hidden and this wouldn't be happening.God works in mysterious ways. :rose:

[curiousD]

Judge Glass was so serious, gotta love the way she denied bail, remanded them to custody.

YE..wasnt it great to see him taken away in cuffs!!!!

[spydernweb2006]

And this Folks is why you NEVER take the law into your own hands...

OJ brought all this down on himself, I have no tears for him.

Money honey! He has leeches who are always happy to get his money and he is happy to pay it to give the appearance that he is a popular guy. IMO

[Shells2]

If the Goldmans hadn't filed and won that civil suit, this stuff would never have been hidden and this wouldn't be happening.


Who cares??

OJ FINALLY was held accountable for his actions - and that is a wonderful thing :)

[barskin&co.]

Judge Glass was so serious, gotta love the way she denied bail, remanded them to custody.

If he had been given bail, he would have ran!! :chicken:

[Pag Boi]

Why you'd want to befriend a double killer is beyond me.
:shrug:

He testified for him, too. If it hadn't been for the wedding, Scotto would have been on trial, too.

Who is Scotto and the wife? TIA. That couple pretending to be shocked :barf:

[mistywilkins]

The goldmans have said that watching OJ out on his golf cart laughing in their faces all these years is like liveing Rons death all over again . THERE WILL BE NO MORE GOLF FOR OJ SIMPSON! FORE!

[Details]

This did nothing for Nicole and Ron - it's a different crime - not even karma, since it was OJ's own actions that locked him up. Congratulations to a jury that gave the honest answer, didn't let fears nor celebrity, nor all the spin money can buy bias them. 3 times the evidence needed to prove the case was present, and I'm glad they didn't overlook it.

[RGG]

Now the UNTOUCHABLE has been touched.
OJ just didn't know he would be touched so soon.
Galanter is only sad because he's lost a case and fantastic income.

Hope Galanter has access to those off-shore bank accounts.

[tashi]

Simpson is not above the law...finally

Thank goodness this crime occurred in Las Vegas and not LA

[Cornblossom]

Who is Scotto and the wife? TIA. That couple pretending to be shocked :barf:
it was their wedding OJ was best man at when he pulled this caper

[kellabeck]

I hope this means the Browns get Justin. Sydney is college-age.

[psbperu]

Worth staying up late for...wasn't it folks.

[kellabeck]

Oh wait, Justin was 6 13 yrs ago, right? So he's grown up, too!

Wow!

[RGG]

Who is Scotto and the wife? TIA. That couple pretending to be shocked :barf:

That was the couple getting married in LasVegas during OJ's stay and this crime. Thomas and Sabrina Scotto.

[barskin&co.]

Worth staying up late for...wasn't it folks.

I'd say that's a big yes. :patriot:

[Shells2]

I hope they all get a book deal for "how he did it this time"


:lol::lol::lol:

[Joan Weiss]

Rowlands said the defense attorneys were querying why the jury was still there so late. Perhaps a suggestion that will be used on appeal; the jury was tired and wanted to go home and not come back. imo :rolleyes:

[legalmania]

OJ Simpson and C J Stewart were found guilty on all 12 counts.

http://www.cnn.com/

[Cornblossom]

Where could he go? He's the world's most famous thug! But I'm so glad they cuffed him and took him immediately. Wow - that whole thing was so fast!he could go to a country that didn't have an extradition agreement with us.:seeya:

[Cornblossom]

WOW. I just heard the news. Good, good, good!! Can anyone tell me approximately how much time he'll spend locked up?sentencing Dec 5 9 am

[psbperu]

Right 19 and 23 now. OMIG I wonder what they are thinking.

Truly sad for these 2 young adults. It is a shame that their father having been acquitted so many years ago couldn't provide them with the stability in life that they deserved.

[Details]

he could go to a country that didn't have an extradition agreement with us.:seeya:Lots of options to go to. Drive to Mexico, fly from there to almost anywhere other than Europe, he'd likely be safe. Custody is the only place he cannot run from, and bail would not do it.

[Diva]

YES! YES! YES! YES!!!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!

There is a G-d!!!!! AND Karma too!!!!!

:beer:

[barskin&co.]

WOW. I just heard the news. Good, good, good!! Can anyone tell me approximately how much time he'll spend locked up?

A lot! Just one of the counts, kidnapping, carries a mandatory 15-life sentence, and he has 11 other convictions on serious charges, too.
Armed robbery is a violent crime (even if a gun is never fired, there is the threat of firing it).

[Joan Weiss]

WOW. I just heard the news. Good, good, good!! Can anyone tell me approximately how much time he'll spend locked up?Minimum 15 years on the kidnapping alone, according to Rowlands. imo

[eagleeer]

It is a sad day when a man of OJ's incredible talent has come to this. Karma I guess. I can't say that I am happy but Lady Justice has spoken. Johnny Cochran just rolled over in his grave.

[Pinetree]

I will never understand why he didn't just fade away and live quietly after the "gift" he was given of the NG verdict. :shrug:

[apocalypse]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. AT LAST...THE PIG GETS TO LIVE WITH HIS OWN KIND. THERE IS JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD. I, TOO, WATCHED ALL OF THE FIRST TRIAL - THE ONE WITH LANCE ITO AND FRIENDS. HAVEN'T PAID MUCH ATTENTION TO THIS ONE BECAUSE I HONESTLY THOUGHT HE WOULD GET OFF AGAIN.

WILL HE SERVE ALL 15 YEARS? LET'S SEE, THAT WOULD MAKE HIM 76?

HE WILL BE A HOT TARGET IN PRISON...MORE THAN SCOTT PETERSON, DON'T YA THINK?

EVIL DOESN'T ALWAYS WIN.:beer:

[barskin&co.]

The defense may have a PC in the courtroom. Yechhhh

[Cornblossom]

OJ's sister broke down paramedics called

[apocalypse]

The justice system works far better in Nevada than it does in California. :)

lol. nothing works in California.

[barskin&co.]

But that isn't even enough for the two lives he took, IMO.:(

Because, IMO, he thought if he could get away with 2 murders, he could get away with anything.

[Freygea]

Sister of O.J has collapsed in the courtroom. Paramedics have arrived and the court room is closed off to the public.

Johnny Cochrane after the fact never said OJ was 'innocent' he said he was found not 'guilty'..

Johnny is resting well...OJ just kept pushing and he pushed to far.

Rest in Peace Ron and Nicole:(

For ALL of OJ's victims:rose:

[mistywilkins]

In Las vegas does anyone know if the judge consults with the jury on punishment?

[BobbiBlue]

:cuss:Just heard on KTLA that the re-trial of Phil Spector will NOT be televised!:flamemad:

[KathR]

Just Announced OJ IS IN DA HOUSE!

JMHO

Hugs,
Spyder

I'm glad he is locked up finally, but is this another miscarriage of justice? Well, be that as it may, I hope he serves a few years at least.

[barskin&co.]

There is that possiblity. :)

O.J. will most likely die in prison even if he gets the least amount of time possible.

Let's see. He's 61 right now. On the kidnapping charge, it's 15- life with possibility of parole after 5 years, so he's up to 66 years old on just that one count, if he is granted parole the first time.

[CamV]

On local TV here in Las Vegas, the local reporter just interviewed Tom Riccio. He said he thought "they" were just out to get OJ, it was payback for the previous case in LA, and the jury just tried to get a verdict on the 13th anniversary of his not guilty verdict. What a marooooon! It was his audio tapes that done 'em in!

[barskin&co.]

:cuss:Just heard on KTLA that the re-trial of Phil Spector will NOT be televised!:flamemad:

Yeah, how do you like that? The revolution and the Phil Spector retrial will not be televised.

[curiousD]

Congratulations to a jury that gave the honest answer, didn't let fears nor celebrity, nor all the spin money can buy bias them. 3 times the evidence needed to prove the case was present, and I'm glad they didn't overlook it.

I disagree. Mr. Goldman is probably thrilled that OJ will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars..it is karma

[taylor63]

OJ
GUILTY 12 times

How ironic that this verdict came 13 years to the day he was aquitted of the brutal murders of his exwife and her friend.I wonder how the Browns and Goldman's feel tonight, I hope this verdict finally brings them some peace and closure.

[KathR]

Marta and Lonnie, KTLA, Ch 5, Los Angeles reported that as of right now there will be no live coverage of Phil Spector re-trial.

Not enough interest.

Not enough money.

And they have now signed off.

There would be the same interest it had before if they gave it the same coverage.

But I don't blame them. I blame those who took away televised trial coverage in general from us. How can any trial watchers remain steadfast in their viewing when the court day is cut to six hour?

[psbperu]

Goodnite all....

Seeing & hearing it live was the BEST!

[barskin&co.]

And you're not even including the armed robbery charge.

O.J. has royally screwed himself with his shenanigans.

And I'm quite happy about that. :)

Yes, I was just talking about one out of twelve convictions (and I corrected my dubious math after you quoted me), so he will be in prison well over the age of 66.

[kellabeck]

For any whiners over this verdict: All Simpson had to do was lead a quiet, lawful life and he'd still be on the golf course. But no-- the sociopath thought he could do anything he wished.

[Freygea]

The date and now they also deliberated 13 hours...strange.

[taylor63]

Sister of O.J has collapsed in the courtroom. Paramedics have arrived and the court room is closed off to the public.

Sad for her,I am sure Nicole's mom felt like collapsing too everytime she read about the way her beloved daughter was practically decapiated by the man who at one time vowed to love and protect her as long as they both lived.

[dude77]

15 yrs is way too stiff for this 'crime' .. pedophiles , child rapists get much less .. our justice system is such a sham .. I think our lawmakers are potheads

For any whiners over this verdict: All Simpson had to do was lead a quiet, lawful life and he'd still be on the golf course. But no-- the sociopath thought he could do anything he wished.

Yes, it's outrageous that he thought he could walk into a room with cohorts brandishing guns, making threats and robbing the people inside.

I could write Galanter's remarks for him.

The only thing I would want to see is that loony guy in the Tshirt next to him--- remember that guy??

Your lips to God's ears, I hope!


I've had the tv on, but I had to come here to find out if the verdict had come in. I was watching the 1 am rerun of NG and saw that the jury was still out tonight.

Was the verdict televised? Any links?

[QueeeenBeeee]

Hobbylaw......... eta......better not quote you, I like my nic..........lol

Ummm I think you DID just say............"This verdict is crap." LOL

Goodnight all:seeya:

[Details]

This verdict is crap. CJ, especially should have been aquitted, and OJ was definately not guilty. This jury found the way they did because of the murders. Period! They DID NOT find for the evidence in this case.

I feel just sick. What an abboration of justice. IMHO, I can't say what my opionion is, it would involve a lot of cussing, and I'm really pis^ed.Hobby - it's all about the evidence. If it makes you feel better - take a look - this is 3 times what would be needed to convict in any normal case.

In a normal armed robbery case, you'd have the testimony of the victims, as we do, the recording of their 911 call. We have that. The tape of Beardsley calling 911 to say they've been robbed at gunpoint by OJ mere moments after it happened, Fromong and Beardsly describing the robbery, identifying their assailants, the stolen property found in the posession of the suspects, and video showing OJ and crew walking into the room empty handed, walking out of the room carrying the stolen items. That'd more than convict any normal person.

But - over and above that, we've got the testimony of the thugs, of the accessories, through a plea deal (as usual - this is not abnormal for police to use a plea to get people to testify). This again - more than enough alone to convict. While some of these people have records, others do not have anything serious on their record, others were pretty much hapless saps who just wandered into what they thought was a job carrying stuff for OJ, and turned out to be a robbery.

But then we go several miles further - the planning, the robbery itself, and bragging and joking about it afterwards was all recorded. Nice unbiased tapes. Recorded by multiple people, confirming the stories of the victims, the thugs, and everyone other than OJ. Many of these tapes have enough of the details to prove many charges alone.

So, either everyone is lying, including tape recorders - or OJ is guilty. Stewart there's a bit more wiggle room - a case could be made he thought he was just there to carry stuff too - with a bit of evidence maybe slightly ignored.



And for the defense - aside from a bunch of challenging the tapes - and the tapes are hard to challenge because it's plenty clear enough to hear what is going on, and there's enough cross talk that hints of modification (that the FBI expert said he looked for and did not find) are really not credible - the whole OJ defense has been that it's his stuff. The prosecution not only wiped that idea out, but also the law says even if you honestly believe something to be yours (and OJ took stuff that by no definition could he believe was his - cell phone, Montana lithographs, etc.) you still can't lure someone to a hotel room, hold them there with armed thugs, and take it back by threat of force.

It's a clear-cut case - for anyone other than OJ, there's many, many, many times the evidence normally needed to prove the case. Fortunately for justice, the jury did not let the celebrity, race, or noteriety of the defendant change their verdict.

agreed .. looking at all the reactions on here .. 'they finally got him' 'karma gets oj' what the hell is this ? lol .. this was a person on trial for a questionable armed robbery and kidnapping .. not murder .. no matter how much you want it to be about nicole and ron goldman .. this WAS NOT A MURDER TRIAL .. I'd really love to know how many of those jurors were looking for blood circa 1995 .. and again .. oj's gonna get slammed in sentencing .. for this ?

look up michael jacques .. he's being charged for drugging, raping and killing his 12yr old niece .. before that he violently raped an 18 yr old in 1992 and was convicted only to be let go a few yrs later .. you read right .. he violently raped and choked someone and served a few yrs .. but armed robbery and kidnapping which wasn't even really a kidnapping(and no one was harmed)gets you 15 to life ? :no: I seriously think lawmakers smoke crack while presiding over prospective laws

There are always the occasional idiot judges, idiot laws where someone gets away with a low penalty. Rape, for instance, was a far lesser crime then, and likely enough he managed to pull the good old she asked for it defense.

From the link .....Las Vegas police officers were heard in the recording chucking over Simpson misfortune and crowing that if LA couldn't get him, they would.

Those statements alone are proof that the Las Vegas LE was out to "get" him for an unrelated crime in which he had been acquitted.

I would wager there are a number of appeal issues in this case including the prosecution removing the only two black jurors. One reason given was one woman was very religious and the prosecution believed she might be more forgiving.

The other men involved including the two carrying a gun made deals with LE to help them "get" OJ when LA couldn't is a travesty. If the crime was serious enough to put two defendants away for possibly life then the all men in that room should get the same sentence. This was a popular verdict to correct what many think was a bad verdict 13 years ago.

I see this case ending up in the Supreme Court before this is over.

[bearwds]

I certainly hope so, but I doubt it. If we couldn't keep CTV alive how can we get the PS trial covered?

************************************

As to your question about anyone walking into a courtroom with a camcorder, the answer is no.

Judge Fidler has approved the cameras. No interest from media to cover it. Reported cost---$30,000 a month. TruTV did the feed for KTLA during 1st trial.

I'm hoping KTLA sees the light and will pick up broadcasting on their own.

As far as YouTube...what are they going to post except some interviews??...maybe.

Hope this helps KathR.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I could not have found OJ guilty in the m urders, either. That dirty, racist cop, Mark Forman, and the time line, and obviously planted evidence (the socks) made me vote not guilty, and no, I wasn't on the jury, I just watched every moment of the trial on TV.

This entire trial was a farce.

And this verdict is....CRAP... just .like I said before.

i believed oj was guilty of the murders & they proved it to me.

[5swab5]

Right Defense wanted to have a press conference (to express thier outrage, I'm sure) but the courtroom was closed due to Carmelita's collapse and the paramedics being there. Sorry she's sick, but happy she saved us from listening to Galanter's absolute nonsense!

Poetic Justice at its finest, IMO!

++++++++++++++
I can't say that I am happy about this verdict but Lady Justice tips the scales in ways that we may or not agree with. It is a sad day today that a man of such enormous talent put himself in this position. I watched the whole murder trial as you did opening to closing and still to this day I have mixed feelings about it as I do with this trial. Like you, I couldn't have voted guilty of the murder of Nichole and Ron because Chris Darden and Marcia Clark got out lawyered. I kinda thought in this current trial that it could go either way. I would not have wanted to be on this jury. I might have hung it.

[johnielee333]

And don't forget Casey Anthony is next too!

yep & soon casey will be charged with the murder of caylee.

I can't sleep. I'm very proud of the jurors. I probably speak for most of us when i say i never thought this day would come. I remember where i was for the first verdict and i was SHOCKED and i have to admit i'm still a little SHOCKED right now.


Lady Justice at her finest today..........


For the Jurors for taking on this task and respecting the law and and going over everything for 13 long hours :rose:

[Kimberlee]

Thank you hobbylaw. :seeya:

[5swab5]

I am GLAD to FINALLY see a jury say that OJ is not above the law. He surround's himself with thugs and either pays them or has them do his bidding.

Stewart made a MASSIVE Mistake by not taking the stand. I hope the $$$$ was worth it.

But, the BEST part was when OJ was cuffed. What a practiced move.

The Special Bonus Round, will be that the LYING Galanter has lost his "gravy train".

Unfortunately for justice, the jury did let the celebrity, race and notoriety of the defendant determine their verdict.

Any doubt of the thinking of the jury can be assessed by the many posters here on this forum that leaping with joy that OJ finally got his due for a crime that he was acquitted for 13 years ago.

What is happening to our jury system? Does anyone really believe the jury followed instructions and put aside any of their beliefs that OJ needed to pay for past crimes they believed he had committed? Many of the jurors admitted they didn't agree with the murder verdict but said they could put aside that belief and fairly judge the merits of this trial.

I don't think that happened.

I have said MANY times, that the jury would have a lot of trouble with guys admitting to a robbery, even for a reduced sentence, if it didn't occur.

WHY would they do that, IF there was NO CRIME?

Maybe justice wasn't served but the burden of proof is on the prosecuton. They lost plain and simple.

Well I can't say that I disagree with your perceptions as well. He!! DNA was over all our heads 13 years ago. I also think that because OJ was so popular and affable that no one wanted to believe that he could do such a thing.

[BobbiBlue]

I just keep thinking he will get out of this somehow..AGAIN! And I for one NEVER believed that bull that Mark Furhman "set him up" in the double murder investigation because of his race or any other reason. Come on! Is everybody setting OJ Simpson up? The man is weird! Did you all watch his face in all these trials? I still have loads of VHS tapes from the murder trial way back in 1995. I recorded them because I was at work and wanted to see everything! I wanted him to be not guilty but after watching and reading all I could I now believe he must be guilty! . I re-watched some last week because I am putting them on disc and its sure something to see again after all this!! He sat in this trial muttering to himself and making odd looks towards the camera and jury box. Watch any of his interviews in the past years? He is mental and one odd man! And yes I am WHITE but so what? I have Always believed he is a murderer! How can you not??? JMO as everyone says!

IMO i'm relieved that this man is not going to be able to continue to create havoc on innocent people. i do feel for his two children though. they didn't ask for this man to be their father nor do they deserve the shame they must feel.:( as i've stated before, i can't even make myself say his name. i won't be doing any happy dances, but i am happy over the verdict. i'm not sure the stewart man is guilty of anything but keeping BAD company. i'm now looking forward to the sentance phase of the trial. i would like to thank you all for your great post and keeping all the info. up to date.i hate it that i was asleep when the verdict was reached ,but it was great news to wake up to. now will be able to get back to sleep thinking what he must feel being behind bars. maybe they need to put him on sucide watch. afterall... he has proven over and over he is a nutcase. enough said. good night all!:patriot:

Just like Michael Jackson no one wants to believe that someone they idolized while growning up likes those little boys! Well I was one of the girls that believed that someday I would marry MJ! Just the thought of it now make me barf
Oh my gosh, don't get me started on that wierdo. They will throw me off the board if I say what I really think of him. Nough said?

Well I can't say that I disagree with your perceptions as well. He!! DNA was over all our heads 13 years ago. I also think that because OJ was so popular and affable that no one wanted to believe that he could do such a thing.

I think you are correct.

I am finally starting to see a trend where us regular folks are getting really POed, with the "special" treatment of "celebrities". THANKS PARIS HILTON!

Agreed, and I am also seeing a real diversity of the judges in these high profile cases. They are giving these celebs too many breaks before they slam the door on them. I think tho that the judge in this case did a yoemans job of keeping order and moving the trial along. She certainly wasn't Star Struck with OJ.

If you mean after the verdict, no I didn't see it. Can you synop. what he had to say?

Believe me, I was pizzed at some of her decisions. But she was no ITO! Thank the Lord!

I would wager there are a number of appeal issues in this case including the prosecution removing the only two black jurors. One reason given was one woman was very religious and the prosecution believed she might be more forgiving.


I see this case ending up in the Supreme Court before this is over.


This would, MUST, include Federal constitutional violations, as the SC will NOT disturb a state criminal conviction based soley on state law.

What would some be?

You point out juror exclusion based on race, so in effect, this is a Batson challenge!!

If you were OJ's appellate attorney's, what other violations, in your view, are potential assignments of error?

Since the crimes are not capital, it is not automatically reviewable by the Nevada SC if a court of appeals decision affirms or reverses.


State appeal remedies must be exhausted first to proceed to Federal court, even under a 2254 Motion, which also MUST be based on federal constitutional issues.

Or if OJ looses in the state appeals court, and the NV SC refuses to hear the case, it can be directly appealed to the USSC from there, yes, and bypass a Federal Habeas Corpus petition.

In the interim, he remains "in custody" as bail was denied. Appeals take years.

Well it sounded to me like he was back peddling. He doesn't believe the verdict was correct. Maybe he's a little scared right now.

Funny, because didn't he start this whole thing, provide the evidence, and make over 200K? Now he's blaming the FBI and the cops for not being in the next room.

No Kidding? Where?

I saw his sloppy thing on Jamie's show this morning. Funny, that he said IF he knew that OJ killed a woman, he wouldn't have anything to do with him. He repeated "woman" many times. I guess it is OK to kill a guy?

OH NO!

Not the Jamie that swore up and down that there would NEVER be a trial, let alone a conviction?

For ONCE, I will be there with bells on!;)

Yea, I wondered why he didn't mention Ron G. but then from the first time I saw him speak I thought he was nothing but a POS and an opportunist. Didn't he write a book or is in the process?
