If O. J. thought that there was property that belonged to him in that room, he should have called the cops and reported it. There is a system and we all know it.

As soon as he started conspiring with others to take offensive actions against these two dealers, he was wrong.

His problem is, it wasn't his property. It belonged to the Goldstein and Nichol's families. He was attempting to steal someone else's property.

He was wrong no matter how you look at it.

Sweet irony. < :-)

Typical American justice system that says we will hold a grudge against you if we have not been able to convict you on a previous charge. How dare you beat our system something that has been for years the exclusive domain of rich whites. Now we have an opportunity to punish you to return you to that place where we think you should be. We don't care what you have done or who set you up or for what reasons, you are going to jail forever.

Everton2 - Pitching the race card doesn't excuse the facts. OJ flirted with the law for years now and everytime there are people who want to cry because he's black. This time he went to far. Got caught hook, line and sinker.

I haven't checked, but were there any blacks on the jury? Take a look and see if he was convicted by white racist or by his own peers also.

Throwing the race card is chickens&%t. < :-)

No, you hadn't checked. The only two black faces on the original jury were taken out by the prosecution. It seems as though Simpson was convicted by the exclusive domain that Everton was talking about. It seems as though they were playing the race card, not Everton2. And yes, that is chickens&%t.

aaaah, are you saying the US Justice system is inept, racist and corrupt? that's a whole new kettle of fish eh

You started, so I'll finish. The so-called victim of the crime knew Simpson was coming, set the trap with the cops and made $210,000 out of the story. Four of Simpson's so-called accomplices testified against him and all had criminal records, including a pimp. A pimp sends women out for prostitution and makes money from that in case you didn't know. The only two black people selected for the original jury were taken off by the prosecution. There, I answered the inept, racist and corrupt parts for you....

Good. Because OJ's murder trial demonstrated that blacks are racially biased when it comes to determining guilt.

Helter_Skelter: If you want to suggest that only white people has the capacity to dispense justice then you have essential given potency to my point. The numerous amount of black people that have been wrongly convicted in America by all white juries I suppose have no significance. Your brand of social justice has been lifted from a chapter of the "Jim crow" chronicles.

I see your true colours coming through then. I am a white man, but the witch hunt on OJ Simpson by the white police force has been disgraceful. If the only two black members of the jury were taken out because of racial bias concerns, then all of the white jurors should also have been withdrawn.

I think calling a whole section of society racially biased is a very dangerous comment.

Possibly folks on here may find that offensive, i sure do. Don't tar everyone with the same brush.

I thinks OJ's charges were excessive, and most people are astonsihed he was found guilty on all counts.

His not guilty verdict in the 90's played a part in this methinks.

I didn't say anything about white people. The jury of OJ's murder trial consisted of 8 blacks, 2 Hispanics, 1 Native American, and 1 white. The verdict was decided before the trial began. The trial was about race, not crime. Of all the mistakes made in the OJ murder trial, and there were plenty, one of the biggest was the prosecution's assumption that even a predominately black jury would find him guilty. No way.

the witch hunt on OJ Simpson

OJ murdered his wife and friend and was the gang leader of an armed robbery and kidnapping. Hardly a witch hunt going on here.

northlondon - I was talking about this trial. Not the murder trial of Nichol and Ron.

This trial: http://www.lvrj.com/news/28279434.html

As I stated before, I don't think that OJ got railroaded this trial. He screwed up. < :-)

OJ really must be a stupid man.

Instead of committing crimes with his sleazebag buddies he should have just slithered away after his double murder acquittal to a quiet life in some florida retirement community. A little golf in the morning, a whirlpool after lunch, an afternoon nap and maybe a little bingo or kn aster after dinner.

Maybe that would have given him too much time to think. Well now he has more time than ever....when he isn't practicing 8 foot putts.

Helter_Skelter: We know exactly what you mean. You conveniently left out the word "whites" thinking you could camouflage your true intentions.

You have used one case involving an highly polarized verdict to taint all black people. You have used it as a reference to extrapolate across the entire black community.

In fact, in your wacko generalization all black people across the planet regardless have being vilified in your remark.

This is as ridiculous as the charge of that not so smart Australian tennis player Leyton Hewith, who claimed that he was being cheated by the black official, who kept calling his first serve a fault because his opponent in the game was black.

Helter Skelter is suggesting that black people coming together for the purpose of jury duty will automatically enter into a conspiracy, for the purpose of perverting the course of justice. That this is their natural tendency and so can not be trusted if the defendant is black.

Everton...Agreed

O.J Simpson a poor black child that grew up in racist America and despite all odds became a superstar running back in Pro football. Then after a very successful career as a pro football player moved into Hollywood and a good successful T.V and Movie career....... JUST HAD TO BE DESTROYED by those L.A.P.D racist cops and THE MAN. Had to keep a brother down. Heck there was no way he murdered his wife it was a SET UP. just like this travesty current travesty of justice. O.J is a VICTIM, so what if he decided after he got free to hang around convicted criminals he was only doing what a black has to do he was fighting the power...........Go O.J, Go to Jail thank goodness, about time he held accountable for his PRESENT actions. Have your fit now Everton after reading this post.

sailwind: It is not OJ's guilt or innocence that is at issue, it is more the wacko general statements about black people. The suggestion that they are largely not independent minded and are possessed of an inherent pack mentality. You can say whatever you want about OJ but the reality is that his recent trial in Vegas is one that is open to question in respect to jury selection.
