If I was a cop, I'd just fucking shoot him. A couple of times. In the interrogation room.

Justice.

O J - CLAIMS HE WORKED WITH AN AUCTION HOUSE AS A PARTNER TO RETRIEVE ITEMS STOLEN FROM HIM BEFORE THEY WERE SOLD.

MIGHT BE A PLAUSIBLE DEFENSE.

OJ HATING IS SO PASSE.

Being on the Bridge Motel balcony when it collapsed would have beem karma - this is just getting caught being a thug.

I want to see him get released and say he'll find the real thieves.

If this got him the rest of his life in prison it STILL wouldn't be enough karmic payback for slicing up two people and getting away with it because he's a celebrity. And no, gullible liberals, being 'found liable for $37 million' doesn't count as justice. He killed two people and he got let back out on the street because he ran for 10,000 yards once.

It's not generally my experience, Gomez, that liberals make excuses for domestic violence and the decapitation of ex-wives. Most of the liberals I know were appalled when OJ got off.

TO YOU ALL WHOSE MEMORIES ARE SHORTER THAN THEIR COCKS --

repeat, aloud, very super duper skilled attorneys - unskilled lamely bad prosecuters

And, that is they way it works - hire the best attorney you can find if ever charged with a felony

Simpson is still guilty to me for murder but I'm seeing some gray area in this incident.

If any of you have ever had any of your belongings stolen then you know for a fact that you must conduct your own investigation and likely recovery of said items because the police don't have time for any crime smaller than murder unless it's drug busts or traffic violations.

I think he might've been wise to reach out to the police and if they denied him any assistance then take matters into his own hands but he already sites his public standing as a reason to go it alone. Every call he makes to police becomes a scandal.

If our police apparatus is only good for the 3 things I listed above shouldn't we be afforded some degree of authority over our own acts of subbrogation? The police are institutionally disinterested in ocrimes outside the 3 they've elected to address. Shake their tree and you won't have to wait long to here the littany of woes preventing them from pursuing other cases. Lack of funding for officers, citizen complaints against police action blah blah blah. They're a paper tiger that gets little done. Someone did their job fo0r them and now he must be punished!

Luckily, it was O.J., so public opinion is on their side this time. CErtainly an incompetent D.A.'s office will rim the slam dunk if Vegas' notoriously corrupt civil servants don't frame this properly.

I think O.J. is hot. I would like to watch him go on a crime spree in person. Yummy.

I'm no fan of OJ either, but it seems like they're trumping up some of these charges.

for robbery you still have to take the property "of another". You can't steal your own stuff.

This may tarnish his image.

I think they just bided their time until Johnnie Cochran was dead. Luckily for The Juice, he's proving quite capable of defending himself, with all sorts of weapons.
