[::Nodding::] Yup. Yup. And yup.
Once again Charles the K has hit the nail on the head.
Thanks Charles, now, is it OK if we never hear about OJ again? One of the best things Rush ever did was "No OJ, none of the time"!
Krauthammer is probably right. The idea that we would have then been subjected to months of OJ is disturbing and tiring, but the number of people who believe he is innocent is also disturbing.
Great writing! I saw this as a crass book promotion, but maybe Charlie is right.
Wrong, what's next, cooking with John Wayne Gacey?
If OJ had admitted his guilt and said he killed her because she was playing the whore with all of california in front of his kids, I would have had sympathy for him. He still would've been jailed for murder, but at least I would have understood.
He's never said that, so my guess is that it wasn't the case.
Krauthammer's right. OJ doing this "if" thing is conclusive about his guilt.
I still remember all the 'students' at GWU jumping up and cheering when the verdict was announced.
OJ still can speak - let him put a video up on YouTube.
The jurors came to the correct verdict. It's become rather obvious that the blood evidence was tainted and that establishes reasonable doubt. He could be guilty as sin but it's very hard to prove that using tampered blood.
The jury may have not have reached the correct verdict with the correct reasoning but they did, nonetheless. get the verdict right.
FWIW, the civil jury got it right too. There are separate standards for the two types of law. In the civil case, the prosecutors just needs to prove a preponderance of the evidence while a criminal trial requires guilt be on a reasonable doubt. The civil jury also heard about the Bruno Magli shoes which the criminal jury did not hear.
Don't blame the jurors. They did their jobs correctly. Instead, blame the LAPD who, in their rush to nab O.J. Simpson, planted his blood at the crime scene in order to throw the case their way and were caught (pardon the pun) red-handed.

The possibilities are endless.
I'm getting ready to dump television, this would have made it that much faster.

"

The guy giving police a long chase and ending up with (iirc) holding a gun to his own head was pretty conclusive, but that was often ignored in what followed.
Slam dunk without the blood.
Jury nullilfication means just that.
Since O.J.'s victims were a different race (and one was also Jewish), why couldn't he be tried as a "hate crime" or denying Ron and Nicole their "civil rights"?
It worked against southern racists who killed blacks, so why not blacks who kill whites?
This is silly. Does Krauthammer expect them to show remorse, regret, embarrassment? Sorry to burst your bubble, Charles, but all you'd see on the faces of these "willful jurists" is a laugh-in-your-face leer. Simpson is a hero to these folks because they know he's guilty and they got him off, not because he's innocent and they protected him from an unjust conviction. The applause was for sticking it in The Man's eye, and the applause will be even louder when OJ himself tells the world it's true.
