All of this sounds like a set up?

I am not an OJ fan. That aside, he is not getting a fair shake. I am just amazed that, knowing how nuch he''s hated, he walked into this situation.

I am sick of the media.

I am sick of opportunists like Fred Goldman and all others who revel in their 15 minutes of fame.

Would anyone be as interested after all these years and would OJ be as hated if any of the following 3 scenarios replaced the current one:
1. OJ black, Nicole black
2. OJ white, Nicole black
3. OJ white, Nicole white

THE ANSWER IS NO!!!

usee2: Have you ever had your mother, sister, father or brother hacked to death repeatedly with a knife until they bled to death? Was your mother or sister almost decapitated by the attack?

Try forgiving that, especially when the person who did it is playing golf for a living.

Maybe when it happens to you you''ll be able to say what the Goldmans ''should'' do. Until then, don''t be so self righteous as to impose some irrational religious halo over a gory double homicide.

Yes he''s getting a fair shake.

He''s on tape barging in to someone else''s private room, surrounded by thugs with guns, demanding stuff that may or may not be his, and he''s charged with robbery. That''s fair.

He has a proven history of flight to avoid prosecution, i.e. the Bronco Chase.

He has had many criminal charges filed against him in the past.

He lost a wrongful death case for which he has not paid the required judgment.

He''s a flight risk. Set a high bail. His thug friends can post bond for him, and watch him and his Nicole-look-alike only older and puffier flee the country.

Good bye, good riddance.

"A big hurdle for prosecutors will also be determining who owned the memorabilia" - WHY??!!
He had a gun and assaulted someone!! Even if it was his, he still broke the law big time. I recently read that the Nev. prisons are "run" by motorcycle gangs. Hmmmmm..........doesn''t sound like a place where others would treat him like a big football star.

It took awhile, but if all I''ve read about this robbery - then let him finally go to prison and rot there or worse.

A guy gets acquitted in a criminal case, then gets it up the backside in a civil case based on the same event.

Gotta love America, home to hundreds of thousands of lawyers out to make money any way they can.

Anyone ever hear of any other case like this where someone is found criminally innocent, then in a civil case is ordered to pay ANYONE for the rest of their darned life?

What gives here?

O J has healed from all his troubles and problems but America hasn''t starting from the Goldmans. If you know the principles of forgiveness, you will know the road to healing.
If O J truly did it and says today that he is sorry. The Goldmans still won''t know how to forgive. Learn to forgive. It is a powerful source for healing.
