O.J.: Prosecutor Is Persecuting Me

Simpson Says Nevada DA Is Only Pressing Robbery Case Against Him Because Of His Notoriety

(AP)  O.J. Simpson says an ambitious Nevada prosecutor is pressing a kidnapping and armed robbery case against him that he says even the alleged victims don't want to pursue.

"If I was anybody else, I wouldn't be going to court," Simpson told a reporter for Fargo, N.D., radio station KFGO who interviewed him late Tuesday at a Fargo cigar bar. Simpson was vacationing in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.

"How many trials have you ever heard of where both of the victims say they don't want this guy to go to jail, they don't want to go to court, and you still go to court?" Simpson asked. "It's only me.

"But unfortunately for me," Simpson said, "I got like a bull's eye on my front, dollar sign on my back, you get involved with people who want to be governor and stuff."

Clark County District Attorney David Roger declined comment.

Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said Thursday that Simpson was venting his frustration about facing trial Sept. 8 in Las Vegas on charges carrying the possibility of prison time.

"I think O.J.'s comments show how totally frustrated he is over this incident that involves family heirlooms that were stolen from him by some very nefarious characters," Galanter said.

Galanter also downplayed Simpson's comments about the prosecutor, saying that he had the "utmost respect" for Roger and another prosecutor in the case, Chris Owens.

"I have no reason to believe their motives in this case have been anything less than ethical and honorable," Galanter said.

Simpson and two co-defendants, Ehrlich and Clarence "C.J." Stewart, have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon charges stemming from allegations they robbed two sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room last September. Simpson has denied any guns were involved.

A kidnapping conviction carries the possibility of life in prison with the possibility of parole. An armed robbery conviction would mean mandatory prison time.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY

There was nothing stolen from him he had given and sold them a long time ago. He got caught and NOW I HOPE HE PAYS FOR HAVING MURDRED TWO PEOPLE as well as break in and have a weapon he was not sit up he is a sorryass/blackbastarrd and need to be put in prison for eternity. HE ESCAPED ONE TIME with his money and some good liars and a jury who had their head in the sand. I PRAY NOT AGAIN.

If this sorrySOB was any one else he would either be dead now or in prison for life and with out a *********** to his name. As it is he walked on 2 murder due to his color and nothing more. Frank Bowers

The reason we pick on people like oj. is not because of race. It is just he tries using who he is as an excuse to set himself free. He believes he can do no wrong because of what he has done in the past. IT IS TIME TO RECTIFY this. I think if you did the crime and were caught do the time

You seem to be presenting only one side of your argument. Be fair. Statistics show blacks make up 13% of the population in this country but commit 60% of he crimes.

I think all crimes should be prosecuted equally. I think in O.J.''S case Karma is just coming round. If i had been on his jury for the murder trial i would have voted not guilty based on the evdence and the way the prosecutor handled the case.

[patriot12436]

I also think he was guilty of killing his ex wife but was not at the trial and without hearing all the evidence i would not judge him either way. I think with the case he had a first year law student could have got a conviction.

[patriot12436]

If i had been on the jury at his murder trial i would have voted innocent. I think he bought the D.A. Noone can be that incompetent without trying. I now think maybe Karma is catching up with him. What goes around comes around.

[rob416]

"If it dosen''t fit you must equit". that was what Simpson Lawyer Johnnie Cochran said in the murder trial. Now in his upcoming robbery and kidnapping trial the saying might be for the prosecutors if it fits, don''t equite. Lets hope that is the case and maybe OJ Simpson can get was is due him, which is a long prison sentence.

Of course he would say that the jury in Las Vegas was bias due to him being found inocent of the murder charges. Good luck, you will get a fair trial in Las Vegas based on the eveidence and if you are convicted it will be due to your own stupidity.

Kind of reminds me of the story of the football player who went to prison a tight end and came out a wide receiver

[stn_sage]

The primary reason O.J. ''beat the rap'' on the murder charges was gross incompetence by the L.A. County Attorney''s office!

But, considering he''s beat up two girlfriends since the murder case, and the outlandish way he flaunts the outcome, with the intent to hurt or annoy people, it''s appropriate that he NOW is finally on the receiving end of some ''negative attention''---if, in fact he is?!

SO---rot in jail, JERK!
