O.J. Simpson Found Guilty!!!

What you say is quite true. I just don't understand people sometimes. I think that most people believed he was guilty of murdering his ex-wife and Ron Goldman, yet they still see him as some kind of 'superstar'. He is just a man who had lots of money to pay his way out of prison. I don't care who you are, what you do or how much money you have, if you commit a crime, you should pay for it. It shouldn't matter if you are a very well recognized 'star' or if you pick up garbage for a living... everyone should be judged by the crime and evidence alone; celebrity status should never play a roll in any judgment. I would definitely not get excited if I saw him. I wouldn't want to be around him because I know he's capable of committing heinous crimes. I'm just glad to see that he couldn't buy his way out of this one. That article I mentioned said that O.J. commented that he was worried that he wouldn't see his children graduate from college. I think that should have been something he had thought about BEFORE committing any crime.

Yep, he's finally getting what he has deserved for a long time. GUILTY! I'm sure that word shocked him more than anything has ever shocked him because he acted as though he was above the law. He flaunted his past crimes in everyone's faces when he wrote that book, IF I Did It. I would've loved to have smacked O.J. right across the face for his arrogance alone! Yes, he got away with murder and for 13 years he acted as though his poop didn't stink. I guess he thought he could do anything he wanted and not have to pay for it. I'm glad this jury proved him wrong. I love to see justice being served. I don't care who it is. Justice is so rarely served these days. The rich get away with far too much and the poor pay for things they've never done. Why? The more money you have, the more corrupt lawyers you can buy. I'm glad O.J. didn't have the money to buy his way out of this one.

Oh yeah... I remember reading about the case in the local papers. He planned a robbery to steal back his memobrillas. That happened like quite a while back! Wow, the trial only started a few weeks ago? And the sentencing can only be done in december? What the heck was he thinking? He managed to escape the cell the last time. Has he not learn his lesson? An expensive one at that! Sigh... some people just never change!

You are right MM, will it ever make a difference? MSN, Yahoo etc etc do have everything plastered over their pages so it is hard to miss those things..am glad we think alike though why should it all be put in our face when we don't need to hear it..guess that's life though hugs littleowl

I'm the same as you, littleowl. I don't watch the news at all, nor do I read the newspaper. I just happened to see this because O.J.'s face was plastered all over MSN's home page, and Comcast's home page, and Yahoo's home page, etc. etc. etc. I agree that there is way too much gloom and doom in the world and I try to be like a turtle hiding in my shell or an ostrich with my head in the sand. I know it's going on and there's nothing I can do about it, so why should I have to read about it or hear it? I simply couldn't miss this. They had O.J.'s picture pretty large on the screen and when I read the story headline, I let out a great big loud "Yes!!!" I hate the crime going on in the world these days but I hate to see criminals getting away with their crimes even more. O.J. is one very blatant example of justice not being served the first time around but is now getting what's coming to him. I had to share this because it's a case of justice FINALLY being served. Because his is such a high-profile case, maybe he'll be an example for others who are thinking about commiting a crime. I doubt it, but you never know.

the funny thing is he has the money he has it hidden away because if its known he has money he has to pay the families of the murder victims and he wont do it.. i dont think they really have received anything monetary from him.. i find it funny that he has been boo hooing that he is broke yet he has lived in huge houses and etc.. anyways im glad they got him.. he was a loose cannon and a danger to all.. i do think he killed his ex and that guy but unfortunately that doesnt matter anymore.. but they got him now!!

I heard today that he would get 10 years for one thing (forgot which) and would have to do all that time, and every charge would run consecutively, and that could mean life in prison because of the kidnapping charge (which I really thought was stupid!). I told my husband we could no longer tell anyone not to leave the room.

I'm so glad he is finally getting what he deserved 13 years ago. When I read the news on MSN's homepage, I let out a loud "YES!!!" I'm not obsessed with the 'O.J. Case', but his former crimes were so heinous and, for him to be set free, I was completely and utterly appalled. They let a psychotic killer go free! I think that case was one of the major reasons that I've become so disillusioned with our government. The justice system in this country stinks!

Karma, baby! It's karma smacking him in the face right now. You're right, what goes around comes around. It may be 13 years late, but at least it's here. He has definite anger management issues, yes. But he has way more than that. He's arrogant, controlling, self-centered, egotistical and, until Friday, believed he was above the law. I, too, feel sorry for his children. I can't imagine what's going through their heads right now. They were too young to understand all that was going on 13 years ago, but they're old enough now to have made up their own minds about whether or not he murdered their mother. That is an awful thing to have to carry around with you as you grow up. I hope that they get the therapy they will obviously need to help them cope with their father's actions.

I strongly doubt it this time. They made sure not to fudge anything up regarding the crime scene, evidence, etc. From what I've seen or heard of this case, the authorities did everything EXACTLY by the book to make sure that justice was served this time. I just hope he gets life in prison, not especially because of this case but because he got away with double murder 13 years ago. I want to see the justice system WORK for a change!

I'm very glad I could make your day, freedom! I'm glad to see you!!! I guess you've really been busy, but I'm glad you could sneak in for awhile anyway. How's everything going? Still up to your ears in schoolwork?

I share your sentiments! You know why he cried? Because he was found guilty, certainly not because he was remorseful or anything. He was quoted as saying that he's afraid he's going to miss his children's college graduations. That statement alone says what a self-centered, arrogant SOB he is! He wasn't quoted as saying he's sorry that he's ruined his children's lives. He's not thinking of them, only of himself. The reason he didn't get away with it this time is because he didn't have the money to get the best (or the most corrupt) lawyers money could buy. I don't care how people take my feelings about this, either. It's not specifically O.J. Simpson that I'm glad is going to prison, but more that a GUILTY PERSON is going to prison. He, and others like him, have been able to stay out of prison because of their money or their connections. I'm simply elated because justice is being served. I'm glad specifically over this case because it's so high-profile and is allowing others see that, eventually, you pay for your actions.
