just..sticking up for a good guy.
Wow, "good guy"?

OJ was far from a good guy and he was an overrated football player. He had 2 superb football seasons, and 2 very good ones. What else did he do?

To blame race is just a lazy easy way out for people. Again please do some homework on these topics. Read the Blake trial ,then read OJ trial..if you don't see the diff. ..well you just don't see. It's easy to just sit back and say...RACE , RACE, RACE.... i am Italian , and guess what ? even my black friends tease me about being a "made man" and being in the mafia. People have said it here on the boards!!! Now I could cry

and say that's racism (cuse it kinda is!) but I am not going to let myself be a victim. Please elts drop the race card its soooooo not appropriate , like I said we can ALL find times when we were judged or poked fun at because of our race that's life! And it does NOT happen to black people more then anyone else. 200 yrs ago yes it did! not now! When my Grandparents came here from Italy they we looked down on and suffered ....so what its over and nobody owes ME anything.
no one is saying anyone owes anyone anything... but the word I want you to think of is "Perception". Truth is irrelevant. The outcome of the trials were the same, and I actually think there was just as much evidence against Blake. And the 200 years ago statement shows to me that you are out of touch the two ethnic groups are not compariable..and not really worth debating. I am not making this about race... its about "payback" which IMO is not right.

The same justice system that set him free 13yrs ago ,sent him to jail. he is guilty of this crime ,so he has to do the time. If the robbery fit ...you can not acquit

it was prejudicial justice... everyone from the top down... judges, prosecutor, police ... jurors... based on result from the first case. As I said maybe he got what he deserved... I just don't like the manner in which it was done...
I would like to know what are resident attorney thinks .........CRIMZY?

Listen to what you are saying...everyone was out to "get him". that means that all those people lied? cheated? and risked their jobs and morals just for OJ ? sounds a little fare fetched huh? My cuz is in prison , they had no , zero , NONE evidence other then what others said about him. They ALL got off with no time! even the ones who admitted to crimes. They convicted him in 3hrs and gave him 62 yrs for crimes that nobody was hurt in and nobody was held against their will. My point is this is the way the system works. And we can all say the same thing , they hated my cuz b/c he taunted the feds and laughed at them...even when they sent him away forever. And Maybe because they talked about him in the papers??? called him a Mob enforcer?? even tho he was NEVER even accused of that crime??? so welcome to reality it is NOT A BLACK THING!!! it is American justice.
P.S. the papers also talked about his "look" yea he looks like those bad mafia guys on T.V. So there is NO DIFF.!!! it happens to ALL OF US

I definitely think that he was involved, whether he actually did the cutting or not. There is too much evidence against him. He was acquitted. That case is over. Here it is 13 years later and he is using violence again to get something that he wants. This time there is enough evidence to convict him. He is paying for what he did. I also hope that the jury did not use their biases from 13 years ago. That would be wrong. The fact is that this is obviously a violent man who managed to stay under the radar for a little over a decade and finally messed up again. To me this is no different than any other career criminal. They might stay clean for a while but they always eventually mess up. The only difference between now and when he was was married is he had poor Nicole to take out his anger on and he has to find other outlets now.
I really don't care about this man. I am happy that he is incarcerated and not a threat to anyone in the outside world any longer. Honestly I hope that this is where he stays for the remainder of his years.

I never said it was a "Black thing" I said it was payback thing... and your comments proove my point... its not about truth, unless you have concrete evidence... and even then... its still about "Perception"... Take your cousin... I am sure it didn't help that he was Italian... being convicted with a mafia or RICO type of case... just like your friends may tease you... the jury had already had a mental picture in their head... of italians are involved in mafia.. did this convict him alone... No... but it may have contributed in their decision on whether or not the likeihood of him being affiliated with the group was a possiblity or probablity.

because the crediblity of all those involved is very questionable ... the fact that the audio tape was qued to record... the very good possiblity the tape was edited... and was shopped before it was given over to authorities... and the deals made with the accused to testify against OJ... the personal items included photos of his children and personal items... I couldn't convict someone of robbery for taking back those types of items...
Oh give me a friggin break man. They can easily check for those kind of edits in tape recordings. Like 4 co-defendants pleaded guilty. Oh wait, because they snitched they aren't credible and the tape lied.

No the so called victims are not credible... And look what they plead down to... the face a max like of 2 years while OJ could get life... I'd probably choose those cards too

Has anyone ever tried to put gloves on, while wearing latex gloves?

Further, has anyone seen what happens to leather that gets wet and is not properly taken care of?
The glove thing was the dumbest thing the prosecution could have done.
It is also reportd that OJ stopped taking his arthetisis (sp) medicine which caused his hands to swell not allowing the gloves to fit.

that is what I just said......this is how EVERYBODY is convicted of a crime , the same with my cuz. All the admitted felons walked because they told on him. That is the American justice system!
The diff with OJ is he was there!!! he was giving directions,,,my cuz was not. and my cuz STILL got convicted. Were the video tapes altered also?? was that not him meeting all those guys in the lobby??? come on even you dont believe that....really?
How does a honest non-violent person react to that situation?? I would have called the cops and said hey those guys ripped me off , help me get my stuff back. He didn't do that. He gathered up his Posse and armed them and said (on the tape) "Don't let anybody leave" This was HIS PLAN. This really isn't even worth talking about its so stupid obvious
