I was at work at the hospital and every TV was tuned in. There was a palpable gasp and then immediate chatter.

I'm sorry to say my friend that I don't remember because i didn't care by that time. Nothing was going to bring poor Nicole and Ron back and I knew what the outcome was going to be. Money buys you almost anything you want in this world. In addition, California wasn't ready for another race riot. ‹(°¿°)›

Good point about the rioting. I just put this discussion up because we were talking about this at work and interestingly everyone there could remember the moment and I thought that it was rather sad. Here we were in a room and some people couldn't remember saying their vows, or their child's first birthday, or when Reagan was shot, but they could remember when OJ was aquitted.

Thanks again for the vote my myLotian friend. lol That's a pretty sad statement when sensationalized stories that have no direct impact on our personal lives supercedes intimate memories. ‹(°¿°)›

I was in the car with a friend. We were leaving our Psych 101 class and heading to Friendlys or somewhere for lunch.

I was working in the Chicago Assy. Plant of Ford Motor Company @ 130 th and Torrence..but i remember most of the people were shocked to hear the verdict..my friend and co-worker said ..did not the jurors listen to the evidence? just when you think you seen it all...then sometime like this makes you believe..that truth is stranger then fiction...
