Meh. That's not the first time a jury had acquitted a guilty party.

Remember Frank James?

OK. It accounted for the DNA evidence, I realize. But a person has to have means, motive and opportunity. Was this kid even any where near the area at the time ?

‘Watching folks in 1995 joyfully celebrate the acquittal of an obvious murderer was a pretty clear indication of something rotten in our homeland.’

When the people celebrating are 0-3’s and 0-4’s and E7’s and 8’s it is more than disquieting. I real revelation about who the racists really are.

I heard that there were women in battered women’s shelters even rejoicing at the acquittal. Might be an urban legend, but if true, how sick.

However, the left started in right away, claiming anti muslim backlash

Yeah. It's amazing how the left embraces the muzzies, even though they would kill most of them for their homosexual and feminists beliefs. Meanwhile the left's archenemy, the conservative merely disapprove of those beliefs and would leave it up to God to mete out final justice.

David Horowitz explores this phenomenon in his book :”Unholy Alliance”.

These kind of “strange bedfellows” always experience a “Night of the Long Knives” shortly after one or the other assumes power.

‘Oh Yes! You are quite right. The days after 9/11 were amazing in terms of national Unity and racial harmony.’

True but what I saw and experienced at an Army MACOM HQ was at first disorienting and then in retrospect very disturbing. The GO’s were lashing out in all directions in an angry disoriented sort of way at the staff both civilian and military. Long time civilian staff who had been involved in operational planning since the ramp up for Panama where treated like potential traitors. The leadership was both actually demoralized because of the surprise attack and then really fearful their tickets would get torn up because various really stupid things that they had done mostly during Clintontime to save money and go along with the stupid ideas that poured out of the Pentagon (such as reducing chemical weapons storage sites to the classification of a chemical waste dump so that security could be dramatically cut to save some dollars). Anything like the boiling rage and determination to pay the enemy back that one encounters in account after account of the reactions of US military after Pearl harbor was totally absent. No one seemed really motivated to want to really smash the enemy hard and not be very interested in collateral damage. Then watching the muted almost apologetic way the people at the very top of the US government spoke was another demoralized. The tone was one of real regret about having to do something that would kill some Muslims along with lots of Religion of Peace crap and demoralizing nagging about how Americans and especially those in the military had to be on so respectful of Islam and all those good Muslims as we tried to fight the few bad ones. These events were the start of a very disturbing and disorienting era in which we fought wars that couldn't be called wars against an enemy that couldn't be called an enemy with a leadership that seemed more interested in not hurting the feelings of Muslims and offending their precious sense of ‘honor’ than in beating the foe to a pulp and unambiguously supporting the people at the sharp end of the spear.

It was but one of many rumors floating around at the time. I don’t know where he was or if he had any reason to dislike Nicole. But I do remember many people took it very seriously.

The Army I saw over a 20 + year exposure has a great many people in the higher ranks who believe they are soldiers and leaders and are neither but they are in reality a species of uniformed bureaucrat. I dubbed them Milicrats and they are very common in the supporting arms. They are pseudo-soldiers and they love wearing BDU’s thousands of miles from any battlefield so they feel like they are some sort of Rambos of the air conditioned office or Patton of the Powerpoint Presentation. The sheer barefaced gall of the enemy to commence operations with an attack right on the homeland and targeted at the symbols of American economic might and the symbol of the armed services didn't produce barely contained rage and a frigid determination to do whatever to kill as many of the people who made the attacks possible as could be done. In reality many men and women with stars on their shoulders were stunned and demoralized by the attack. That tells you what these people are really made of.

And I truly believe things are even worse now than they were then.

A good reason to keep one’s powder dry.

I remember a story about OJ in the 60’s when he was just a football player.. He had been in a gang in his youth and was known for fighting with a knife in each hand. Two knives were involved in the murders of Nicole and Goldman..

There is some credible information that OJ didn’t do it. That doesn’t mean he didn’t pay some one though. Read some about “The Casanova Killer” and see if this isn’t more a probable scenario.

Too bad he didn’t live to see O.J. killed for the murder of Nichole.

Don't be an ass; if you paid any attention to the trial at all, a normal person with average intelligence and reasoning power could not do anything but convict that son of a b#tch.
The only reason he got off is because the LA county court system and the district attorney's office were terrified of riots by the savages in south central and south east LA. How many other conspiracy theories do you believe in.

Its not really a conspiracy theory; its a view held by many who seriously studied the case. If you look very closely at the actual timeline — not the rhetoric by prosecution — they don’t fit with Simpson himself committing the crime. Simpson’s cut finger proved a huge problem for the prosecution when the guys at the airport he shook hands with didn’t notice a cut or get any blood on them. He didn’t bleed in the limo either. Yet his explanation about the cut was absurd and unsubstantiated. There are other issues similar to this — things that don’t wash with the prosecution’s case but that weren’t explained well by Simpson or his legal team.

I was never convinced Simpson did it but also didn’t know why in some ways he acted very guilty. There is no doubt that Simpson lied about a lot — and I don’t believe for a second he thinks some of the things he’s said over the years about the alleged killers. But read Bill Dear’s books and decide for yourself.

Well, I’m pretty well above average (if you want my resume, send me mail) and I wouldn’t have come close to convicting him had I been on the jury. I watched probably 85% of the trial and the biggest questions were the ones not answered by the prosecution — not only not answered but ignored.

The prosecution’s problem was the same as your’s: they never took any other theory than Simpson doing it seriously so they never investigated alternative views to see what evidence there was. How many sources have you read on the Simpson case since the trial?

Being rich like him, IMO he is the kind of guy who would have paid someone in stead of committing it himself. He probably couldn’t resist making sure the deed was done though. That is the evidence you probably see. If you read about the casanova killer, his brother accuses him of the crime and he was in LA at that time.
