Cops rushed to the Florida home of O.J. Simpson after his eldest daughter knocked him to the ground in a brawl over his girlfriend Christie Prody, sources said. "Arnelle had a fight with Christie over Christie's behavior. That's what started the whole thing," a source told the Daily News. "Christie has some problems with drinking, and Arnelle got mad. O.J. said 'Don't talk to her like that,' and Arnelle pushed him." The source said Arnelle, 39, called 911 in a fit of guilt after she toppled the 61-year-old on Sunday, giving him a minor head injury. The police report does...

Site pulls slogan after controversy Committeeman linked Obama to O.J. Simpson By David Maccar; Editor A Pemberton GOP committeeman came under heavy scrutiny last week after it was discovered he posted a slogan linking presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama to O.J. Simpson on what was called "The Official Website of the Pemberton Township Republicans."The slogan, "Obama Loves America like O.J. Loved Nicole," referring to retired NFL star and his late ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, was denounced by many as racist. Simpson was tried and acquitted for the murder of Brown and her boyfriend Ronald Goldman in 1994, but was...

TRENTON, N.J. - A local Republican Club in New Jersey has removed a slogan from its Web site that read, "Obama loves America like O.J. loved Nicole." The Pemberton Republican Club removed the slogan after Democrats alleged racist campaign tactics. The club's Web master, Ed Kuck, tells The Philadelphia Inquirer that he saw the slogan on an Internet site and copied it onto the club's Web page as a joke. The chairman of the Burlington County Democratic Committee says comparing Obama to O.J. Simpson was reprehensible.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - O.J. Simpson says an ambitious Nevada prosecutor is pressing a kidnapping and armed robbery case against him that he says even the alleged victims don't want to pursue. "If I was anybody else, I wouldn't be going to court," Simpson told a reporter for Fargo, N.D., radio station KFGO who interviewed him late Tuesday at a Fargo cigar bar. Simpson was vacationing in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. "How many trials have you ever heard of where both of the victims say they don't want this guy to go to jail, they don't want to...

So OJ's former agent is publishing a book "How I Helped OJ Get Away with Murder." Mike Gilbert was Simpson's sports agent for 18 years. Now he's really cashing in. The story says "Some of the proceeds from the book have been pledged to the Make-a-Wish foundation." Just some? That's Gilbert's way of diverting attention from his blatant attempt to make money off of his low-life, creepy efforts to put a murderer back on the streets. "Some proceeds" isn't repentance. How about all? How about begging for forgiveness from the families crushed first by the murder of their children then...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - No matter how O.J. Simpson's hotel-room robbery trial plays out, he can plan on seeing Fred Goldman's lawyers in court again. A taciturn 66-year-old whose gray hair and handlebar mustache have made him familiar to followers of the Simpson saga, Goldman speaks forcefully but rarely angrily when he talks of hounding the former football star he believes stabbed his son, Ron Goldman, and Simpson's ex-wife to death in 1994. "Our intent is to continue to pursue him, to continue to hold him accountable and responsible for Ron's murder," he said during a recent phone interview from...

November 16, 2007, 0:00 p.m. SmileWhat all celebs can learn from O. J. Simpson. By Michael Long O.J. Simpson has learned at least one thing in the 13 years between his arrests: When they take your mug shot, smile. The mug shot is the ignominious I.D., captured at a moment when the subject is, all at once, shamed, humbled, frustrated, fearful, and usually at a record low of dishevelment. The mug shot is supposed to be just a bureaucratic record. In practice, however, it is punishment for being a suspect at all. Say what you want about “innocent until...

LAS VEGAS - O.J. Simpson must face trial on kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges stemming from an alleged sports memorabilia heist, a justice of the peace ruled Wednesday. Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure ruled after a preliminary hearing of the charges and arguments against the case by attorneys for Simpson and co-defendants Clarence "C.J." Stewart and Charles "Charlie" Ehrlich. "This is what we expected," Simpson told The Associated Press before he left the courtroom. "If I have any disappointment it's that I wish a jury was here. As always, I rely on the jury system." No charges...

We’ll get to the latest ethically-blind, unintentional humor at Duke University in a moment. Let’s begin with the same thing as demonstrated in the $70 million case Dan Rather just filed against CBS. The theory of American law is that adversaries – plaintiff and defendant in a civil case – will contest facts, witnesses and experts before the trier of fact (judge or jury) and truth will result. It is not just people like me who’ve been attorneys forever, but also laymen who read the papers, who know this theory sometimes fails in practice. The theory will fail on purpose...

The first time, with the white Bronco and the glove and the bloodied Brentwood mansion walkway, America reeled. The man accused of murder wasn't our O.J. Simpson, the former football hero, occasional Hollywood actor and irresistibly charming rental car pitchman. But this time, as news spread that Simpson had been arrested last weekend and charged in a Las Vegas armed robbery, people weren't only ready for it - they absolutely reveled in it. Though a Los Angeles jury found Simpson not guilty in 1995, the justice system that is the blogosphere in 2007 issued its verdict, swiftly, surely and...

RFFM.org Commentary by Daniel T. Zanoza As former New York Yankee Hall of Famer Yogi Berra might say, it sounds like deja vu all over again. Of course, Yogi would be talking about O.J. Simpson, once again, being charged with a violent crime while he sits in the Las Vegas County Jail. Well, Yogi didn't say it, but I did and, to tell the truth, this latest Simpson escapade has not caused me to shed any tears. Most certainly I do not find glee in the fact another human being is deeply troubled, but I have to confess there is...

OJ Simpson's prison conditions released By Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles Last Updated: 2:35am BST 19/09/2007 OJ Simpson has traded a Las Vegas hotel room and leisurely mornings of golf for solitary confinement in a 7' by 14' cell, 4am wake-up calls, and just three to four hours of free time a day, also spent alone. Details of the prison conditions facing the fallen sporting legend were revealed by Las Vegas police, who arrested Simpson on Sunday at the city's Palms hotel for his alleged role in an armed robbery last week. The 60-year-old former American footballer is among 3,000...

One of the men accusing O.J. Simpson of robbing him last Thursday is in the hospital. A spokesperson for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles says Bruce Fromong is in the intensive care unit after suffering what's being described as a massive heart attack.

LOS ANGELES—O.J. Simpson's defense lawyer said Monday that prosecutors lack the evidence to prove that the former football star committed armed robbery and other felonies in a sports memorabilia dispute at a Las Vegas hotel. "We are definitely on the attack," Yale Galanter told The Associated Press. Galanter, a Miami attorney who flew to Las Vegas to appear on Simpson's behalf, said he would seek Simpson's release on his own recognizance. Simpson had offered to surrender to police even if he had to return from his home in Miami, but they chose to arrest him, Galanter said. "If it was...

LAS VEGAS - News conferences, a slew of felony charges, a perp walk in handcuffs and detention in a holding cell without bail — it's clear authorities aren't giving O.J. Simpson any celebrity breaks. Police insist such treatment is prudent for a man whose name is synonymous with a slow-speed chase from officers in a white Ford Bronco. But legal experts are questioning whether Simpson is being singled out for extra-tough prosecution in his casino-hotel robbery case as payback for his murder acquittal more than a decade ago. "It is regrettable that America has not gotten over the O.J. Simpson...
