O.J. Simpson couldn't have really thought he was going to get away this time.
Some 13 years to the day after being acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her boy-toy, the Juice was convicted on 12 counts in a robbery trial.
The New York Times noted that many have seen the robbery trial "as a proxy for those unsatisfied by that 1995 outcome." Gee, ya think?

I feel the LAPD really screwed up the Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman murder case from the start to finish of the blood droplets.
Yet through these foul ups the Nevada people wouldn't let this slippery killer get away, OJ's Ego wouldn't let him get away I wonder will his cell mate let him worm away.
If anyone seen the new episode of Autopsy with Dr. Bowden where he explains the blood on Nicole Brown Simpson's back was OJ'S and the forensic tech. wash it off prior to her autopsy to make her more presentable before a second sample was gained.
I feel Nicole inadvertently helped OJ by grabbing Ron Goldman as a shield out of fear of the unknown masked assailant, which led him to stab Ron repeatedly until Ron threw an elbow back striking Nicole knocking her out in which with his arm raised high OJ delivered the final stab wound to Ron.
OJ in his sick sense knelt down to Nicole taking off his mask and gloves checking to see if she was alright, she came too said something OJ reach for the knife went back into his rage cutting her throat not realizing he cut his hand.
While scrambling around in the blood looking for the gloves and mask the dog starts howling he gives up looking for the second glove and mask runs to the dog trying to silence him in the mean time wiping his bloody hands on the dog.
This explains the scratches on Ron's wrist, the bloody dog hairs in the vehicle, and the blood down the path..
And why OJ needs to be in Prison for the rest of his rotten @$$ life.
That's my theory what do you think?

Are you suggesting that OJ didn't receive a fair trial because of the last outcome? I just feel awful for his raw deal. America just can't let a black man live. And people wonder why the NYT's isn't considered a serious source of news.
Point out to me where it "suggests" that.--s

S-
Justice DOES come, and yes, the chatter is that O J was found guilty this time, realitive to Nicole and Ron's
aquital.
Now perhaps, IF O J does see prison time, and the press lets go of the mystic, Nicole and Ron can rest in peace.
It has nothing to do with color/sex/fame, 2 young beauiful people are deceased, and some one must be accountable. O J had all the marbles with Johnny by his side and lots of money. This time around, he just got caught, by proving his basic character flaws...again.

Backlash:
That's an interesting forensic theory. My mind was made up by the Juice's own behavior in boarding a flight to Chicago moments after the murder, and the slow ride through the city with the police in tow and his best friend driving. Then his arrogance at the trial and that silly scene with the gloves. Johnnie Cochran did a good job defending him, and that was his duty, but Gil Garcetti should have had his tail kicked for letting that one get away the way it did. O.J. apparently admitted his involvement to a number of close "allies" e.g., Kardashian, Kailin, and a few others. There'll be an appeal of this latest one based on juror misconduct or OJ's supposed inability to receive a fair trial, but Nevada's got him this time. I just hope they don't let him out on bail while the appeal is pending, since he's a proven flight risk. Whoever came up with the idea of taping that latest crime deserves to go to prison with him just for the stupidity of it all. Backlash, I wonder if the "Juice" can run through the prison courtyard as fast as he used to run through airports? Think he deserves a Hertz or a hearse? And, Jim, I don't see where Shanna is taking a position on the case one way or the other in her post. What am I missing there?

5 O.J. jurors disagreed with 1995 acquittal..Maybe I spoke to soon, these comments may get his conviction over turned.
If this happens don't blame the lawyer, OJ, nor the system consider the open opinions.

Mike you are on point Shanna has not chosen a side just stating the obvious nor has her readers asked her for her personal opinions, for that she have the privilege of sharing if she wishes.
Donna a lawyer is paid to do a job and Johnny Cochran did his job to the best of his ability as the saying goes "A lawyer doesn't pick his cases".
Mike what you meant was do OJ have the ability to run through community showers in the prison without being groped and coddled this remains to be seen since the jurors spoke this conviction will possibly over turned.
Lastly anyone have a pair of gloves that fit to your specific size? try this put on a pair of surgical gloves then try to put your personal gloves on and hopefully....
the point will become clear too each person that try this experiment.

Jurors never able to set aside feelings about Simpson stemming from the 1995 murder trial.
Outside the courtroom,OJ's Lawyer Galanter said he was not surprised at the conviction following the three week trial. He said he would appeal the verdict on a variety of grounds including the way the all-white jury was selected, saying it was a "fairness issue."
Answers to questionnaires filled out by the initial pool of 500 potential jurors produced "horrifying" answers. Those answers have not been made public. At least half that pool was dismissed after those questionnaires were read.
