Does the sun come up in the East or a bear crap in the woods? It's a given on OJ. I know he will still be looking for the murderer when HE gets out.
Actually, this was all just a clever ploy by OJ to get inside, where the killer has obviously been hiding from him all of these years. He'll track him down now.

Didn't you ever see Monk?

Yeah, he was pretty sure he would find the real killers on all those golf courses in Florida.

IMO, he did it.......no other suspect was ever turned up by the police at the time or since. It was just a matter of money buying very good lawyers, and a DA office that did not do a very good job with the case.

At least he was found to be responsible in the civil case.

I don't think he didn't see the police cars in his mirrors when he was leisurely cruising along the freeway.

Although I voted that he committed murder, the irony of finding this thread while I took a break from studying for my Criminal Law final is too much. Honestly, there is an argument that he may have committed voluntary manslaughter, which isn't technically murder, although it is homicide. Under the Model Penal Code (which is sort of a legal guideline for legislatures that a bunch of Crim Law professors dreamt up, and isn't really a binding authority at all), if someone commits homicide while suffering from "extreme emotional distress", it would be considered manslaughter. Given the state of his personal life, it's actually pretty feasible that an argument could be made for this. But to make a long story short, he still killed her.

Nicole and Goldman are just as dead.

Why? The guy most likely killed his daughter, what would you think? Just curious..


Compare and contrast that with people who forgive the killer and go visit their child's murderer in prison.

Not saying he needs to do that, but if the sole purpose of your life is making another man's life miserable for revenge, thats a pretty sad existance, and not one I'd personally be all that proud of...

Also goes along with what someone else pointed out 2 wrongs don't make a right.

I am the dissenting view (sort of). Since 1994, I never though that he physically did it, but may have hired it done or hired to have the two roughed up and it ended up getting out of hand (so he is still guilty). Somehow the Mexican, Colombian, or Central American drug cartel is involved.
I can honestly say you are the first I've ever heard say that OJ didn't do it.

HAHAHAHA... does 301 have Crim on tuesday as well? As far as addressing the guy saying "they're just as dead", whats your point?. The question was, "Is OJ guilty of murder?" My point is that, he most likely killed them, but that doesn't mean he committed murder.

Without a doubt, he killed those two.

Even as stupid as the citizens are in LA, I can't believe they were able to find 12 dopes who would cast their vote to acquit him, even with as badly as the prosecution screwed up. Think about that. 12 people voted to acquit. Not one of them held out to hang the jury. Not one.

If you write a book called "If I did it...." then you probably did.

I have never been motivated to write a book about myself personally committing a crime I didn't do.

The one thing writing "If I did it..." proves is that he was not an English major.

The DNA of the blood at the crime scene alone makes it pretty impossible to honestly think he's innocent. What were the odds that it was someone else's - 1 in 170 million for the glove, and 1 in 10 billion on some piece of Nicole Brown Simpson's clothing? And they found blood from her, Goldman, and O.J. in his Bronco? I don't care if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt - it's ridiculous to doubt that kind of evidence. The only reason it didn't convince the jury was that it was too new at the time (and he was O.J. Simpson).

a jury of his peers said he didn't do it, if people feel other wise, blame the prosecution for not doing their job.

IMO this was not anything close to a "jury of his peers". That would have meant having other millionaire athletes or at least his millionarie neighbors in Brentwood on the jury.

The whole thing was a joke - the judge should have been disbarred for his lack of control and stupid rulings. Having it on TV made it even a bigger joke... I think today they handle TV in court better than they did then, that may have even been the first one on TV.

As a native of California, I must remind you that California people are like a box of GRANOLA cereal....Some are NUTS, others are FRUITS, and the rest are FLAKES......Thats why OJ got off..... Every time I visit there, it reminds why it is not a place to live.....:notworthy:

Some of you need to realize Ron Goldman's dad was the one who was constantly after OJ, not Nicole Brown Simpson's...

I don't think he did it. The fact that he was found not guilty is all that matters to me...

What did OJ say after the not guilty verdict in the murder trial?

"Hey, can I have my gloves back now."
