This was so unfair it puts our legal system in a very bad light. The judge ONLY hit him so hard ONLY to feather her own nest-to butter her own bread. Because she will be up for reelection and wanted to make sure she will be reelected. And she was so disrespectful!!! All people deserve respect at all times--when she said right to his face before sentencing--"You are both ignorant and arrogant"--that was so wrong and unprofessional. She only did it as a grandstand play...very very unprofessional. Sentencing is a time for dignity on ALL sides INCLUDING the judge. Disgraceful---AND Goldman showing up for something that was DONE of his business. Another GRANDSTAND play. OJ in his own humble words was only recovering property that was stolen from him for his family and the Brown family-NOT for himself!!. It was a brave and compassionate act on his part. The cops wouldn't help--so he HAD to organize this sting operation--which no one at all was hurt in. OJ was totally abused and it makes me sick.
bruddah, i couldn't have said it better myself about how the judge acted. another thing i didn't like was how she kept sipping her soda through a straw. it's one thing for have water, but imo, you shouldn't be sipping anything during a court. what OJ did was wrong though. he should have gone through the proper channels, yah? but was the judge kinda out of line for how she acted? absolutely. was OJ proven guilty this time? absolutely.
so, for clarify: i agree that the judge wasn't acting proper, but i do believe that OJ was proven guilty of this crime.
Would you rather he get off the hook again? He is a proven murder.
it hasn't been proven he killed them. while i do believe that he is 100% guilty of killing them, there's not enough evidence, and you can't, as a juror, say someone's guilty because you "feel they are."
I will even go so far as to say if he was married to, and allegedly killed a black woman and her black boyfriend, that all you plaxico-hatin-gangbanger-labelin' white folk wouldn't be so happy or care that he is finally going to prison. But since he killed a white lady and her at the time boy toy, "we gon get OJ hell or high water!!!"
But alas, karma's a bitch. 2012.
wait, what?
It's good enough for me. A judge found O.J. Simpson guilty of murder.
what judge found him guilty of murder brah?
No no, Tiger. Innocent until proved guilty. I think you got the idea from us, historically. In Scotland, which has it's own legal system, the jury has the option of a third verdict - "Not Proven" which falls between guilt and innocence but still results in the aquittal of the defendant.
we should adopt that third option. i like it! like i said earlier, i believe OJ killed his ex and her man, but it wasn't proven.
