Goodbye OJ
 

Goodbye OJ

OJ Simpson dead at 76 after cancer battle

I wonder how much of their $33,500,000 judgment against O.J. the Goldmans actually collected?

I read very little, $188,000.

It seems he died with a $3M net worth.

He was both a great running back and total scumbag. I will never forget him terrorizing the Patriots with 200+ yard rushing games when he played for the Bills.

OJ is in Hell. Where he belongs.

Now that he is dead, who will take over looking for the real killer?

Disappointment
 

Darn, I was really hoping for a death-bed confession.

Well, he won't need to find gloves that fit where he has gone. OJ Simpson’s courtroom glove fitting is burned into America’s brain

Sad what he turned into

He was probably a low-life all along. We wouldn't have reason to have heard all the sordid details of his life before the murders. I'm not buying that he was a good guy that just "flipped" and, certainly, his life after that proved he was bad apples.

The football career was probably as much hype as it was skill. Like it is for most notable people in the present era. Too many people chug the hype.

If there is a HELL - that guy entered yesterday. Just hope that the devils take very special care of him...

Maybe it will be in his will. :shrug:

The prosecutors was so good they named law school after them. The OJ prosecutors school of law. :popcorn: some prosecutors graduates right here in center Florida :MOJE_whot:

Finally death catches up with a sadistic domestic abuser & cold blooded murderer. After the farce of a trial, Simpson should have slunk away and stayed in obscurity. Unbelievably he wrote a disgraceful book flaunting the fact that he got away with murder while rubbing it in the face of his victim's families. He deserves to be ignored and forgotten by history

I thought he did the murders but the prosecutors did not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Taught many people the term "Jury Nullification."

But there are so many cases where actual innocent people are convicted also not proving it beyond a reasonable doubt.

The title of the thread should have been: “Good riddance, OJ.” That P.O.S. Didn’t deserve the time of day, much less the breaking news announcement of his death.

All nfl awards that he received should be null and void. Not only the murders, but armed robbery and jail time. Pete Rose was stricken of his awards because of betting, which is bad, but compared to what OJ did, Rose was a saint

Truly one of the most miscarriages of justice this country has ever seen. All things displaying his guilt were there until "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" ala Johnny Cochran. Of course it didn't fit, it had dried up and shrunk, but even if it hadn't the jury was not about to convict their hero. I still remember the celebration in the streets when the "Not Guilty" was announced, and the looks on the faces of Simpson's attorneys Bob Kardashian and Bob Shapiro told a "You got to be kidding me" story.

Casey Anthony, is that you?

it wasn't the gloves. it was the make up of the jury. so obvious.......end of story

And (unfortunately) the trial gave the world a glimpse into the lives of the Kardashians/Jenners.

Good riddance.

Here's to hoping that O.J. and Johnnie Cochrane are serving eternity as the Devil's concubines.

Time to celebrate when Hanoi Jane joins him in hell.

I felt the facts were there but everything was tainted by Furno. Thats a shame

Some people believe their own lies and BS. He was more than likely one of them!

Kardashian aided and abetted Simpson. The morning OJ flew back from Chicago, the news cameras followed him to his house. He got out of the limo and handed a suitcase to Kardashian's assistant. She walked casually to her car, and drove away with what I suspect were the bloody clothes he wore the night before. For some reason that was never brought up at trial.

You can say THAT again!!!

I so remember watching at the time of the 'glove-fitting'. During that, I thought to myself, how could the prosecution allow this? No doubt the blood-soaked gloves shrunk and are stiff. And he was wearing rubber gloves. ?????????????? Then the acting job trying to pull them on, showing it off, and smirking.

Recently it came out that Johhnie Cocran had OJ stop taking his arthritis meds so his knuckles would swell. Best defense $$$ could buy.

"if it doesn't fit... he's still full of shxt.

Then after the verdict, TV showing the spilt-screen ---- shock vs joy....

Lots of mixed feelings on this one.

My own thoughts mirror a lot of the ones expressed here. I too think he probably got away with murder, and that the "not guilty" verdict was more a reflection of expert jury selection and a defense team who knew how to talk to that jury, than it was a reflection of the facts. But I don't KNOW that, and the folks who do know more than I do made the decision.

On a larger scale, it does point out what I see as a significant weak point of our justice system, and that is media influence on the outcome. I'm not talking about the notorious Court Of Public Opinion--THOSE folks had OJ either outfitted for wings and a halo, or tried, convicted, drawn and quartered all before be blood dried. But over-the-top media "coverage" coupled with judges who seem dead set against granting changes of venue (the judge gets a lot of face time on these sensationalistic trials too, and human nature being what it is...) all too often seem to mean more than the facts.

In any case, it is over and he's gone. R.I.P., OJ: you certainly didn't have very much peace when you were alive.

Agree with you 100%. He should have just been dumped in the biggest garbage heap in existence and left to rot.

His murderous, dirty rotten, devient, satanic deeds overrode the POS being a great ANYTHING, but we know that God is his final judge.

My thoughts exactly when seeing that glove attempt. Awful

GOOD RIDDANCE YOU SLIME BUCKET. How does that jury look themselves in the mirror!!! It was black payback. Wonder what they would say today. I lost respect for every member of the dream team. They defended who they KNEW was guilty. OJ slaughtered them.

Maybe you want to rethink that statement???? They needed to prove reasonable doubt, not ALL doubt. Too much evidence to even list.

Not sure what you are writing. The jury found a reasonable doubt. The prosecutors did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Emphasis on reasonable. Not all doubt.

Some jury! The trial was a circus. They did not convict him due to his race. Thank God the Goldman's won their civil case although the scumbag dodged paying them even pennies on the dollar.

The jury was prejudiced but the biggest problem was Marcia Clark. She couldn't find her way out of a closet.

Prosecutors kept pushing the "his DNA was all over the crime scene" narrative. It was his house, so of course, his DNA will be everywhere. That proves nothing.
The defense kept connecting that over-reach to every other piece of evidence they presented. The jury started questioning everything else, wondering what other lies were coming from the prosecutors. The lack of chain of custody of evidence, the conclusions that were not reasonably substantiated by that (now questionable) evidence, the constant hype over the crime scene. Even the famous gloves that shrunk - because they got wet, and the prosecution was clueless.

So the trial did not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Case closed.

Many believe he did it, many do not. One side will never convince the other side.

And the "wrongful deaths" civil trial before a different jury had a different result.
