O J Simpson at last goes to jail

At last, justice is done. Can you believe the irony of this - it is thirteen years to the day that he was acquitted of his wife's murder. According to reports he is looking at life or at least 20 to 25 years.

Even 20 to 25 years is going to mean life for him. How old is he now?

Students react to the 1995 judgement in The People vs. Orenthal James Simpson

I love this picture. It's so full of truth.

Sad truth, but truth nonetheless. We still have racism issues to deal with that all the PC BS in the world won't solve.

btw, thanks for the links CCIP

He couldn't put on the glove because it was planted by the police, who were convinced of his guilt but wanted more evidence. The jury decided there was insufficient evidence.

On the other hand, while circumstantial evidence leads a lot of people to conclude his guilt, I have little respect for those who say "Of course he did it!" You know this for a fact? How? I stick with the jury's decision.

Likewise, this jury could have been reacting to the previous decision, but I don't know that, and neither does anyone else. They decided, and unless evidence is shown to warrant a retrial I'll stand by their decision.

Yep , true justice when the prosecution "Witnesses" get a deal to testify against him and get payed to sell their stories - really credible

How many of the jury thought the same way and decided to find him guilty on this one because he got found not guilty of killing his wife?
