Comment: Fred Goldman is probably still dancing in the street. First the money from the OJ book now OJ is going to jail for life. Things couldn't be sweeter for Fred Golden.

Name: Grace12_34

Comment: The article did not mention the fact that Fred Goldman's lawyer is going to put an income execution against the 83 cents a day wages OJ will make from his prison job. Sad, but true.

Name: goodnplenty1957

Comment: OJ, OJ, OJ. you should have known they were going to be all over you like a cheap leisure suit! just keep out of trouble and dont give them any reason to arrest you, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO. YT was going to get you by hook or by crook. and you chose the latter. well as richard pryor says about going to prison; HOPE YOU KNOW SOME JOKES!

Name: MOTHERSHIP

Comment: Goodnplenty, I don't know what dude was thinking!!!! But yet still, I don't know how you could possibly get life for trying to take back your own shyt! It it was his to begin with. There are folk right now who have done worse crimes that aren't facing that amount of time. Hell, the financial barons who brought Amerikka to it's knees aren't even facing any charges. O.J. didn't know when to quit. But those jurors did basically retry him for the murder of Nicole and ol' dude. Isn't that double jeopardy? Dude played right into their hands.

Name: Kaya

Comment: After he got off that first time, OJ should have gone away and kept his behind quiet. Jayson Williams is the best example I can think of of how to do this.

Name: HarrisThomas

Comment: OK, white people: OJ is going to jail . . . . . the end(?)

Name: TGen

Comment: Mothership: "don't know how you could possibly get life for trying to take back your own shyt!" My thoughts exactly. And yes, you're right that ALL-WHITE jury (how the hell did OJ's lawyers let that happen?) was re-trying him for those murders. About the lawyers, I saw one of them respond to a question of the irony of the "13," he was convicted 13 years to the day after being acquitted for the murders, the jury delibertated for 13 hours, 13 minutes, etc. He responded, "Yeah I don't know, that does seem strange, maybe somebody is trying to tell us something." I was like, "WTH?" It was clear to me then that this was a coup, the lawyers were involved, the judge, jury et al. Those White folks--all of them were White ironically, hmmm--decided to do the do once and for all. I think this was an abomination. Yes, OJ is probably a murder, and we all know he's a simpelton, but he was found not guilty. You can't do make-up justice. A lot of the jurors admit to thinking he was guilty from the first trial. WTH? And these was a "jury of his peers?" Supposedly the lawyers will file an appeal after learning this, but that's probably just for show. And it's a shame the justice system has shown it's not blind once again. P.S. It's clear to me that the Goldman family don't know, never knew, don't care to know God. Every statement they've made since that first trial shows people with very hard hearts and dark souls.

Comment: as i posted in the other oj vip room .. what a dumb azz negro, after he got off for them cali killings u woulda thunk his dumb azz woulda found a church home and tried to luv some dayum body, instead he bust up in the hotel room like fred sanford with his boyz grady and bubba and gonna "get back what was his"...stoopid is as stoopid o.j.

Name: jazzfan

Comment: Johnnie wasn't around to save his dumb azz this time.

Name: McNasty

Comment: . . . and his appeal is based on the racial make up of his jury. I guess an all white jury was not one of his peers.lol I would feel sorry for him but for the fact that this big head idiot got away with murder but couldn't seem to stay out of white folks faces!!

Name: McNasty

Comment: TGen the prosecution was a little swifter than the defense - they used all of their objections to remove all the black potential jurors and left the defense with nothing but white folks to choose from. Seems divine intervention was no where to be found during this trial.

Name: fanteeking

Comment: McNasty: You right! It seems like having yt folks to love him was his "life blood". We used to have O J type 'black' guys at my college who'd have nothing to do with us Black athletes and were always running to white fraternities for parties and wearing corny-azz loafer shoes with white socks. We used to call them "JEFFS", I guess as in Thomas Jefferson. OJ is a supreme JEFF!!!

Name: HarrisThomas

Comment: appealing the jury selection procedure in this trial is the only hope that OJ has because the jury selection is genuine cause for concern . . . . . I am concerned more for the process that convicted OJ in this instance than I am concerned as to whether the dirt bag goes to jail

Name: bigchassie

Comment: COOKYD>It's too late, he drank so much of it, it made him stupid. he should have left the U.S. after his aquittal in 95.

Name: infofan1960

Comment: I wouldn't give his sorry A$$ a cup of water to quench his thirst from all those SALTINES he's been chasing all these years. SALTINE-LOVING DUMB A$$, TAP-DANCING, UNCLE TOMMING, SISTERS AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU CEMENT BLOCK-HEADED SLAVE.

Name: oldschoolbrother

Comment: My grandmother (bless her soul) used to say "Ya'll dont think fat meat is greasy". OJ makes over 200k a year from NFL pension, that is more than enough money for his crusty azz to sit back, play golf and watch his kids get old. I believe the reason he is facing the years in question is due to the severity of the charges. Kidnapping, armed robbery, etc. Those are serious. Shame.

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: Kidnapping alone can carry a life sentence in Nevada. But so can armed robbery. It is kinda odd coming from a state that has semi-legalized prostitution. Of course double jeopardy was in play here but I can imagine him getting life in prison.

Name: FiveMore

Comment: Do you all know that I kinda feel sorry for OJ, 'cause he actually believed those white folk really cared for him? All these black people running around cheesing up in these folk faces now see that if they got to wait a hundred years...uhmm, your azz is grass.They always get their men!smh @ OJ's stupidity!

Name: sweetpea

Comment: I knew they were going to send him to jail. Most of white america was still salty that he was aquitted for killing his wife. They almost stripped him of everything after that aquittal. All O.J. had to do was live a quiet low key life but no, he had to do some dumb azz %*$! like this. Most of white america was waiting for him to slip up and he handed them just what they wanted. I don't feel sorry for him one bit but I do feel sorry for his children. Maybe he is reaping what he sowed.

Name: oshun

Comment: i co-sign with most here. ain't nobody thinkin' 'bout oj. too bad, so sad.

Name: Grace12_34

Comment: Two of the six alternate jurors ARE black.

Name: Grace12_34

Comment: AND, there was one Hispanic on the jury as well.

Name: Southernbelle

Comment: @ TGen, I agree with you. This case was bs, but OJ played right into their trap. They've been trying to get at him since he was acquitted for the murders. He's been arrested for everything from attempted car jacking to cable theft and did he learn a lesson? nope. He called yt's bluff. Now he'll speng the rest of his life locked away in a jail cell thinking about how he f@#$ed up. The poor kids. Now they're parentless.

Name: huey

Comment: Southernbelle --they were parentless long before this..

Name: GingerBronze

Comment: This was bullschitt setup. I'm not an O.J. fan, but I never felt in my vibrations that O.J. was guilty of homicide. I did not believe then nor now that is there evidence that shows O.J. committed double murder. The evidence does show, however, that there was tampering in an effort to frame O.J. If you or anybody else think that O.J. physically murdered Nicole and Ron, then you're inept. There were too many technicalities, especially from a scientific perspective, that led the trail away from O.J. O.J. has monetarily taken care of the Brown family for years. Why would he kill the mother of his children and then lead a "high speed" chase in a White Bronco going 20 mph? Get the fcuk outta here. Your reasoning ability is terribly flawed. Just because white folks want O.J. to be the culprit does not mean he did it. It had been said in several circles that this was a drug hit simply based on the slayings and prior knowledge of earlier events. I wouldn't be surprised if the drug corruption led back to the LAPD, itself. I don't need white folks to legitimize "facts" to me or for me. I can't jump on that bandwagon.

Comment: Well, I'm trying to feel sorry for OJ Simpson. I really am. Cant quite do it yet. ...Still trying...nope, not quite... all right, I'm gonna have to try this another day. Just cant quite do it today, sorry.

Name: huey

Comment: GingerBronze ---regardless of his guilt or innocense in the "trial of the century", when u sleep with dogs u get ticks. and thats what oj got ticks. if he was smart he woulda sat down and stfu but he was dumb and got locked the fk up....case closed, keys is thrown away....

Name: letmein

Comment: Never have been a fan of OJ but this is some BS right here. I'm with ^^^ how can you get life for getting your own shat?! This was a set up if I ever saw one and all players paid their parts.

Name: DoctorSmooth

Comment: Yes, I belive "whitey" had extra zeal in prosecuting him this time, but OJ put himself in this spot. He makes more money from his pension and memorabilia shows (about $300K) than most of us will ever make as our annual income... But despite his relatively comfortable life (after possibly getting away with murder the first time), he had to act stupid and go after some dude to "go get his stuff", when he knew that law enforcement has had him on their radar for years!! Dumb. I DO feel sorry for my people struggling in the hood with poor schools, no healthcare, no opportunities, etc.. NOT for someone who had every opportunity to be a success, but squandered it.

Name: huey

Comment: wonder if he is eating his prison scrapple or is his appetite gone...hummmmm

Name: LazySusan

Comment: I think OJ was not only convicted over killing Nicole and Ron, but for his behavior afterwards. I mean writing that book was just sooooo stupid! But at the same time, this man was acquitted. And I remember like yesterday all of the White crying and God help us, the television shows you'd watch. where there was some dialogue calling OJ a murderer, and the shows would not be about the law! My point is this: he was acquitted and he had the right to live his life as he saw fit. But he was blocked from making any money, and what money he did make he owed to greedy Fred Goldman because of a bogus wrongful death suit. And yes, OJ went back to dating White women and beating their azzes, but really ladies, the negro is no loss, so the Becky's were always welcome to him, as far as I'm concerned. I said this in another forum on Saturday on this site: Michael Jackson, honey, you're next! If you're not going to get out of the country then don't even get so much as a traffic ticket or you'll do life for that!

Comment: LazySusan, I'm betting Ice-T is next.

Name: Robbyroc

Comment: OJ’s biggest mistake was that he should have left the country for about 10 years. Anytime the Feds raid your crib because they think your stealing free cable it’s time to move on. Remember that? Anyway it was a matter time before someone set his stupid azz up. He was flaunting his freedom a little too much in front of white folk. I just hope now the Browns and Goldman’s will get on with their lives and we don’t have to see them on TV no more!

Name: SpecialK

Comment: Don't drop the soap OJ!! I bet he believes that whitey isn't on his side after all. He should have disappeared or at least kept a low profile and shut up. But noooooooo, he had to give them something to put his behind in jail for. Ain't nothing worse than a dumb-azz criminal.

Name: TGen

Comment: HT: "I am concerned more for the process that convicted OJ in this instance than I am concerned as to whether the dirt bag goes to jail" Yes, you get it, HT. I think a lot of people, White and Black, are missing the significance of this whole thing. You can't CONVICT someone on personality! So he's a Caucasion-loving idiot! And? This case speaks volumes about the vulnerabilities in our justice system. It is NOT okay to re-try someone for a case that is not before you. It's just not. This means that if they can do it for one person because of their "feelings" or because they didn't like that he went with White girls, or that he played football, or hell, that he had the wrong color shirt on, then guess what? So can YOU. I'm concerned about this flawed "justice" system in this country, damn an OJ Simpson, he's just the symbol. I wish people would look at it that way.

Name: DoctorSmooth

Comment: TGen, and HarrisThomas, help me here... what is the best evidence you can give us that OJ is not guilty, and has been railroaded in this case? I'm listening, really.

Name: TesticAl

Comment: I don't care.

Name: oldschoolbrother

Comment: Okay this may kick off something but I am trying to understand a previous post. GingerBronze, what evidence do you have regarding the murders? The massive blood evidence alone that was found in his house, in his truck, on the socks, points to OJ. Do you realize that there are documented cases that have gotten people the death penalty for less evidence? OJ had the best attorney in the world and that is the only reason he was acquitted, that and a majority female jury.

Name: WillyBobo

Comment: O.J. Simpson was so confident that he was going to beat the rap again that he had an acquittal party planned, it was learned. Simpson associate Thomas Riccio, after an in-studio interview Friday with radio talk-show host Anthony Crivello and retired Las Vegas police detective Phil Ramos, invited them to join O.J.'s entourage at an undisclosed location. "That's how certain he was," Crivello said during an interview on Saturday, a day after Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart were found guilty on all counts, including armed robbery and kidnapping with a deadly weapon. "He's been predicting a hung jury," said Ramos, who attended the trial and provided expert commentary on Crivello's show, "The Sicilians" on Fox Sports Radio KBAD-AM, 920. "The first thing that popped into my head," Ramos said, "was Sandy Murphy." He was referring to Murphy's overconfidence the day the jury began deliberating in 2000 when she and Rick Tabish were accused of killing casino operator Ted Binion in 1998. While getting ready to return to jail, Murphy called out to her attorney John Momot, "See you at Piero's tonight, John," a reference to her favorite restaurant. She had to eat her words when the jury came back several days later with guilty verdicts for her and Tabish, her lover. They were convicted of killing Binion in 1998. Three and a half years later, the Nevada Supreme Court overturned her and Tabish's convictions for murder. Riccio had arranged Simpson's meeting that led to the September 2007 holdup of two memorabilia dealers at Palace Station. http://www.lvrj.com/news/30483119.html

Comment: HarrisThomas, that's about the size of it. OJ had been thumbing his nose at white folks for beating that double murder rap and it was only a matter of time. First, it was their judicial system that acquitted him but still he didn't get off because he was found guilty in civil court. He dug his own grave because all he had to do was simply hire an attorney to redeem whatever he claims was his. I will go to my grave thinking the only reason he was found guilty of all charges was because every other white person in AmeriKKKa thought he got off and it was just pay back time. Maybe that's why there was not one of us on the jury. Not too mention you reap what you sow. After his acquittal, he refused to deal with blacks, be black and now he has face the serious reality that, he's just another nugga in the penal system. That judge is going to throw the book at him.

Name: TGen

Comment: DcSmooth, I don't know all the ins and outs of this case, but I do know that no one was hurt or killed, that the motive was a person retrieving his OWN stuff, I don't think anyone was "kidnapped" per se, etc. In most instanes, given that there was really no harm/ no foul, that kind of case would have been dropped, to save taxpayer money and jail space. But it was not dropped for only one reason--the main defendant was OJ Simpson. That is perverse justice, and it's dangerous. OJ's personality or what someone "thinks" he did a decade ago, but was acquitted for is not enough to send him to prison for life. The jurors highjacked the law and that sets a bad precedent. JMO

Name: Stephanie

Comment: GingerBronze, I agree with you a thousand percent! Usually, the only time people die like that its either drugs or money. I think Nicole owed a huge drug debt and used OJ as collateral and when he refused to pay up, they took her out. I think whoever did it told OJ and if he was to come forward, his kids and family would go out like that. There is absolutely no way one person can kill 2 people like that at once. Its not humanly possible. Not too mention, the kids were home, sleep so somebody would have screaming to wake somebody up. However, he should have just lived his life quietly but it seemed to me that he was always throwing up in their faces he beat their system. It was only a matter of time. Fred Goldman needs to rot in hell. You would have thought him and his son were closer than close when he hadn't had a relationship with his son in years because his son was gay.

Name: ss69054

Comment: Folks this is what happens when you sell out your own kind for Yht trash!!! Bottomline, they put him right back in his place quickly!! This is a wake up call to all the buffoonery negoes!!!! OJ never looked back and put his own down...now they got him right where they wanted him....his butt is too stupid to see what reality....so no I don't care about this buffoon sellout!!!

Name: oldschoolbrother

Comment: I still would like to know what evidence exists that show OJ did not kill his ex wife and her boyfriend?

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: Uhm..of course he was convicted because of a previous nonconviction. That's a no brainer and is not the way the judicial system should work. OJ is a near certifiable nutcase for sure. But, everyone can have an opinion no whether or not he killed those folk...absent legitimate evidence...it remains an opinion.

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: Oldschool..I don't know what the evidence supporting him not killing them is. However, it's hard saying that there was sufficient evidence concluding that he did when he wasn't convicted. As.suming that he did is more of a stretch than as.suming that he didn't. This is more MiJac than RKelly.

Name: oldschoolbrother

Comment: Okay this is really funny. So are you saying that the white men who killed Emmit Till were not guilty also? The only reason OJ got off the first time and this is documented fact: He had the best attorney for that case, Mark Furhman, Marcia Clark was a complete idiot, that glove, and the fact that there were many black women in the jury. Look at the evidence, overwhelming blood evidence would convict anyone in this day and age. DNA was still coming around in 1995. You can get a conviction on a hair sample now, a fingerprint. The blood that was collected could not have been planted. Sorry.

Name: khufu

Comment: firstly, they framed the brother. secondly, maybe he will finally leave crackers alone. thirdly, he didnt kill Nicole

Name: TinayPretty

Comment: His problem is that he thought he was INVINCIBLE after the acquittal!! So he acted like a FOOL thereafter!! I dont really know how I feel about his acquittal, because the system worked like it was supposed to, only that is usually reserved for WHITE people only!! People like him never learn....

Name: nylaconnect

Comment: OSB and everyone,let's remember people, which includes the media, since they are made up of people are biased. It seems like their mantra is facts be damned. I just saw this over the weekend but Ron Goldman allegedly dealt in drugs and was also a snitch for the police,his files are closed under a code allegedly thats used for police informants. He allegedly lived in Brentwood on a part time waiters salary. Nicole was allegedly dating a guy who turned out to be a mass murder and the night before she was killed was pictured with him at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood. This guy killed at least 2 -3 other women the way Nicole was killed( and I believe 70 in all, he had painted Nicole's home and his fingerprints were all up in her house)),said guy was also in drugs.Finally it was said Nicole was killed after OJ was on the plane,but her dad after saying Nicole last spoke to her mom after 11 pm inexplicably changed the time to 930- to around 1017. If you google Dr Henry Johnson( a brother here in LA),he has a book and dvd on research he did with his own cash. He also did a 2 hour interview in KPFK last year that I listened to over the weekend on-line.Thought you folks would be interested.Lee how bout an interview with him.

Name: nylaconnect

Comment: Here's a link to the interview,its 2 hours,, scroll down to Dr Henry Johnson when you go on hour one go 12 minutes into it as this is where Dr Johnson starts talking. http://www.radioalchymy.com/

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: OSB..considering the circumstances, it is the stretch beyond stretches to compare OJ get'n off for those killings to the nuts who killed Till. Even I wouldn't use that sort of comparision..lol In questionable cases as such, the only reason most people get off is having a top notch attorney. I didn't follow the case enough after the fact, but I know that there was enough circumstantial evidence that caused reasonable doubt..that along w/the evidence tampering didn't help the prosecutions case. I don't think a lack of DNA technology failed this case and from what I remember..not many others as well.

Name: DoctorSmooth

Comment: TGen, I hear you , but lemme ask you this... if you and your boy Pookie had a dispute, and you felt Pookie and his boys, had some of your stuff and you wanted to get it back... if you and your crew busted into Pookies apartment with guns to "get your stuff back"... and Pookie called the cops on you, dont you think you'd face armed robbery charges? Just because you felt it was "YOUR stuff" doesnt negate the fact that it's armed robbery, and the cops wouldnt just say "no harm/no foul" just because nobody got hurt. I'm convinced "the man" was more enthusiastic in prosecuting OJ because of who he was, but the fact is, they had the goods on him. This is a disaster of OJ's own making. What he did is considered armed robbery in every state. If you or I did what he did we'd both be arrested and probably convicted. There's a lot of peoeple more deserving of my sympathy right now than OJ.

Name: musbdherbs

Comment: Doc..I believe people are commenting on the "life sentence" from an armed robbery conviction rather than the fact he committed armed robbery. But then again I only scanned.

Name: Southernbelle

Comment: Everyone knows that OJ is not playing with a full deck. What I want to know is WTF are the co-defendents and why in the world would they follow the lead of this clown? OJ couldn't ask me to hold his gun at a firing range let alone to help him "retrieve" his belongings.

Comment: Don't worry about "kids" Isn't the daughter like 27 now and the son 25?

Name: GingerBronze

Comment: Oldschoolbrother, I am confident that no credible or reputable forensic lab or investigative team could convict O.J. of double homicide. It's interesting you mentioned the blood that was allegedly found on some of O.J.'s belongings. It was reported that those blood samples contained a compound, an additive usually found in test tubes for blood tests. That's why O.J.'s legal team said that blood was planted. Don't you find it odd that a person who'd leave a horribly bloody crime scene would leave behind only "droplets" and "specks" of blood? Wouldn't their clothing be fully soaked with blood? This case was bigger than O.J. He was just the fall guy - a cover up for an organized crime drug execution. The LAPD knew it. I don't care who OJ was sleeping with. I don't care if he love YT folks. So fugging what. Regardless of his lack of judgment in choosing his associates, it does not validate the sham court proceedings that convicted him on bullschitt charges. And, any black person that thinks O.J. deserves what he got is just as fcuked up as the YT folks. Learn to think for your god-damn selves. Stop piggybacking and cosigning with bigoted, illogically-thinking, YT folks.

Name: GingerBronze

Comment: Thank you, Nylaconnect! I'm glad someone else felt the same hunch I did and actually did research on OJ's trial. In my case, I just used practical intelligence (common sense). I agree with an earlier poster...OJ's conviction has greater implications for all of us. I have a level of distrust for law enforcement officials, especially in direct relation to their dealings with black men. In Chicago, thanks to Northwestern University law students, several black men were freed on DNA evidence and other legal faux pas. Sadly, these men spent 20+ years in jail for crimes they didn't commit. I commend former Illinois governor George Ryan for placing a moratorium on the death penalty. He knew the criminal justice system was flawed. There are too many accounts of trumped up charges against black men. It must end. The revolution will not be televised.
