BuffaloBill Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 He provided memories at both ends of the fame spectrum … outstanding football player at one end and a sad broken human being at the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say the legal system is not broken, however, he was judged by a jury of his peers and was found not guilty......i, however, think he's guilty as hell, but i was not on the jury panel, i only heard what the media expressed for the trial and did not have to make the decision of innocent or guilty. Now, OJ may have been found innocent in the eyes of the law, but he was definitely found guilty in public opinion. Then, there was the Civil suit. Families did not collect much. It will now become a hot topic for them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As horrible as it is to get sodomized by the urologist, it can save your life. On my last visit I asked the urologist if we were dating. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. K Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 https://defector.com/o-j-simpson-was-always-more-than-polarizing By Ray Ratto . . . . That's where Simpson lives in America's head, as the obviously guilty man who was acquitted, the celebrity of celebrities whose lawyers made names for themselves by dismantling the Los Angeles police and legal establishment. He blew our own views of the legal system to smithereens and reminded any Americans who thought otherwise that race remains the foundation upon which all other things in this country are laid. And then, because that wasn't sufficient, he capitalized on all of it for the final decades of his life, the embodiment of bulletproof celebrity, police incompetence and/or racism, a finger in the country's eye and a punchline all at once. We shed him of his surname so that he could become just plain O.J., The Guy Who Got Away With It. He is among the most influential Americans of the last 75 years (we aren't getting into a quibble over Franklin Roosevelt or Steve Jobs) because of all of it. The football star with the warming smile and the electric running style who transformed into a game analyst and then a comedic movie star, and then in one night the avatar for all the unattended sins in our nation's subconscious. Mostly, he laughed at us for our anger, and wore the overcoat of celebrity villainy with the same seeming ease that he had the cloak of national hero. He became the mirror for our sublimated cultural and political pathologies, and even if we didn't reference him in everyday conversations like we once did, he'd still pop up on this podcast or that from time to time to remind us who he was and what happened. He all but said why in a book entitled If I Did It, and owned the entire bizarre whirlwind of his work as though the new goal of his life was to agitate the nation. At that point nothing could come as a surprise, including spending nine years in prison after being convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas over sports memorabilia he claimed was his own. He even framed how we go about handling celebrities' passages through the spotlight. Now no one exists as an unqualified hero in the way O.J. did before the trial, no matter how hard their handlers try. O.J. taught us things about ourselves we didn't want to know and yet now embrace because we can't pretend any longer. This is O.J. Simpson's legacy as the Most Outsized American Ever, whether we are willing to own it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just a thought. What if OJ walked into an Andy Dufrasne situation? 😏 How would they have ever defended that. Wouldn't it be easier to win his defense on the sloppy and racist cop work? Of course he still guilty in civil... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 24 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: you got that one right yes. now look up “jury nullification” get back to us So that's like double secret probation? Something that didn't happen? He was found not guilty, I didn't know there had to be stipulations on that.... But then again I haven't read the Bill of Rights in a long time nor the Constitution and what it limits the government to do ...

US Egg Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 O.J. tipped me $20 for serving him two drinks at a restaurant/nightclub I worked at in the late ‘70’s. Seemed like a lot of money then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
