I just heard on the radio that O.J. will be on Fox News tonite. He'll be discussing how he would have killed his wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman IF he wanted to kill them. Can you believe it?

I agree, Linda. He's truly sick, and dangerous, imo. I heard he made a video where he's a used car salesman trying to sell a white bronco and it ends up in a chase. I think it's a video game. I also heard he's making millions from the sale of this crap but the Goldman's haven't received a penny. I guess the Son of Sam law doesn't apply to him.

You know who I feel the MOST sorry for....are their children. You know most kids love and adore both parents...it's just normal.
And to have a father that they may believe murdered their own mother...I just can't imagine how mixed-up they must feel. What a heartbreaker.
And I know when I read that other murderers weren't going to be allowed to profit from their 'books'....I was so relieved. No one should be able to profit in anyway from a murder(s) they have committed.
I know...he was found innocent. But I think most intelligent people know it was the 'juries' lack of intelligence...and some fast talking lawyers - some failures on the procecutions part...etc. that he was not convicted.
But he just needs to be in front of that camera. Maybe it's his way, unconsciencely of wanting someone to make him accountable for his crimes. Like maybe it's been bothering him all these years that he was found innocent - when he knows differently - when he knows the truth of his actions.

Bigpeepa, normally I'd agree with you, but watching O.J. self-destruct gives me a sense of ultimate fairness. In this case, I have to give Fox credit for helping out. And although not right away, I think O.J. will eventually hit rock bottom and kill himself.
I fully agree, Linda. I hope her children got the strength they needed from Nicole's family. I couldn't imagine.

I remember watching the trial and I still can't believe they found him innocent. He may as well be writing a book entitled, "How to Get Away with Murder".

The fact that he was found innocent is not due to the juries "lack of intelligence". The jury's function is to determine whether or not the prosecution proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Several jurors reportedly felt that he was probably guilty.

While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation:
What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

"lack of intelligence" definition:
Reason for aquittal: "I couldn't see another young black man going to prison".
"lack of intelligence" definition:
That fantasizing elaborate scenarios where the DNA evidence could become "contaminated". That being imagined, the resulting test matches OJ instead of a non-test.

Didn't see it and don't want to ever see anything to do with him, especially if he profits to the tune of 3.5 million for the book.. that is beyond contemptible..he is despicable..

O.J. is scum
But, Linda, he wasn't "found innocent." He was declared "not guilty"--and there's a big difference (not for him, though, of course). A jury finds that someone is not guilty if it can't be proven that he did it. I know it seems picky.

To add what linda said
Someone on trial is NEVER found innocent.When the jury gives its verdict its ALWAYS either guilty or not guilty-the verdict is never "innocent" So I dont see any difference.

If you dont want to hear the truth....dont ask the question.

roadsmith....well that I'm aware of we don't have any legal analysts posting here.
I'm glad at least that we are in agreement about OJ.
Your post directed to me surprised me as cheryl and helen had also used the same phrase/word - innocent...but yet you chose to only point it out to me.

Update from today's AP:
O.J. Simpson Book, TV Special Canceled
Nov 20 3:56 PM US/Eastern
By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK
After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that his has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two- part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned _ like the Fox network _ by News Corp.
In the projects, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.
Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.
"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.
The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "Fox should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."
One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity.
Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder in a case that became its own television drama. [bThe former football star and announcer was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family[/b].
Judith Regan, publisher of "If I Did It," said she considered the book to be Simpson's confession.
The television special was to air on two of the final three nights of the November sweeps, when ratings are watched closely to set local advertising rates. It has been a particularly tough fall for Fox, which has seen none of its new shows catch on and is waiting for the January bows of "American Idol" and "24."
=============
Yes, Goldman's family won what was it? a 33 Million judgement from OJ....but still have NEVER received a penney of it from him.
"While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation": "What would a Democrat president have done at that point?"
"Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack."
Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.
Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass."
Richards continued, "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger!"
The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, "They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger."
One of the men who was the object of Richard's tirade was outraged, shouting back "That's un-f***ing called for, ain't necessary."
After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.
Attempts to reach Richards' reps were unsuccessful.
I don't believe in destroying books...not even this one. As Judith Reagan, the publisher stated....
“To publish” does not mean “to endorse”; it means “to make public.” If you doubt that, ask the mainstream publishers who keep Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf in print to this day. They are likely to say that there is a historical value in publishing such material, so that the public can read, and judge for themselves, the thoughts and attempted defenses of an indefensible man. There is historical value in such work; there is value for law enforcement, for students of psychology, for anyone who wants to gain insight into the mind of a sociopath.
