O.J. Simpson begs Obama: Free me; I’m dying from brain cancer
The Washington Times ^ | January 3, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Former NFL great turned criminal, O.J. Simpson, has issued a plea for clemency to President Obama, claiming he may have brain cancer and should be allowed to leave his Nevada jail cell and go free.

The 66-year-old is currently serving a 33-year sentence for kidnapping and robbery.

But he’s being tested for a tumor on his brain to determine whether he has cancer — and he’s convinced that he’s due to die any day now, The Mirror News reported.

Power of pardon granted to the president by the Constitution is plenary. He can pardon anyone for any crime in any U.S. jurisdiction.

Nope, only for federal crimes.

Lots of things Obama could do, or not do, to the state.

"Yep, especially Kardashian and his transport of the clothes bag, IMO he got rid of OJs bloody clothes."

At the very least this could be obstruction of justice.
I believe Kardashian should have been investigated for aiding and abetting murder.

Here’s an alternative history scenario:

November 18, 1967—
Trailing 20-14 in the fourth quarter with 10:38 remaining, the USC Trojans are facing third-and-seven at their own 36 yard line. Quarterback Toby Page calls an audible, then hands of to his tailback—who bungles the hand off and coughs up the ball. A Bruin recovers the ball and runs it back for a scoop-and-score touchdown. UCLA the game 27-14, securing a Rose Bowl berth and a shot at the national championship, while the Trojans go home for the holidays.

The tailback becomes the goat for costing USC a trip to Pasadena and a national championship. He plays for the Trojans for another year, but his notoriety dogs him and the NFL shows no interest. So he gets a teaching credential and spends the rest of his career teaching PE and coaching football and track at Modoc High School in Alturas, Calif.

January 3, 2014—
Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman are living their lives.

I’ll believe it when the doctors say it.

Not enough proof for me, I'll only believe autopsy results.

Somehow I can’t see Barky spending political capital on this one.

OJ Simpson? I thought we’d be hearing this from Kwame Kilpatrick first.

I agree, 0bama would have much to lose and nothing to gain.

I think that Kardashian felt bound by his attorney-client relationship (and personal friendship) to Simpson, but that he thought a conviction was a slam dunk. The shock (and I think dismay) on his face when the verdict came back “not guilty” was obvious. You can see it in that picture above and he said as much in later interviews. I think the guilt helped put him in an early grave.

If true he knows his death may be imminent, it’s not Obama’s pardon he should be seeking ....

Isn’t OJ one of Obama’s sons?

Well, assuming Obama's claimed birth date is correct, OJ was born well before Obama. So, Obama could be one of OJ's undocumented sons.

Let the SOB rot in prison....die a slow, agonizing death like Ron and Nicole! I would have liked to have seen him taken out of prison in a coffin......capital punishment-wise, but this will have to be the second choice.
