"O.J. reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to a detailed report in the new National Enquirer. "
"He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are “hypothetical.” But, notes the tab, the descriptions are “so detailed and so chillingly realistic” that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened."

Remember these Chuck Norris Facts
1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris

On the surface, the National Enquirer might believe they have some sort of scoop here - but I think they wasted a lot of money. I have no interest in reading some madeup story from OJ Simpson.
<< <i>How is he going to find time to write a book when he's out on the links looking for the real killers!? >>
He's guilty as hell. I forget what the DA's office said exactly one time but the amount of evidence they had against his sorry ass was a mountain compared to what they normally get killers convicted on.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
looking for low grade t205's psa 1-2

Think it sold on craigslist

On Dateline last night they said it was sold off to a private party.

At over twenty years old, it probably still runs ok.
<< <i>We were studying for the bar exam that day and just stopped studying and sat glued to the TV. Great drama! >>
Especially as he was threatening to make a mess in the back of the SUV. Still remember Al Michaels and others from football making pleas over the TV.
I will never forget when the verdict was read...I was with a group of about 15 people. When the verdict was read, the blacks in the group cheered wildly, the whites were in shocked silence. We were all co-workers and friends, but that moment was pretty bizarre given what appeared to me to be an overwhelming abundance of evidence against OJ.
Had the DA used his brain, he would never have allowed that circus to happen in downtown LA. Judge Ito was tv struck and onky added to the fiasco.
I hope OJ suffers every day and that his parole gets a neg.
Many whites were stunned and reacted to the verdict with silence and disbelief.
Many blacks erupted in joy.
The facts of the case showed that O.J. was most likely the person who killed his wife and Goldman.
The criminal jury concluded otherwise and later the civil jury disagreed with the criminal jury.
The criminal prosecution of OJ was interesting. The defense team of lawyers and support staff morphed the trial into one where the LAPD was a central focus [the LAPD has a long history of suspect conduct]. Why and how the prosecution allowed the case to be brought in the downtown LA courthouse instead of in the Santa Monica Courthouse [different demographics for the population living in the two geographic areas (though I do not know if the jury pool from which jurors were drawn and selected would have been the same at both courthouses, i.e. potential jurors summoned from across all of LA County or just from the geographic area where the court case was heard)] I will never understand.
What is of interest to me is that the black community that was pleased to see O.J. acquitted of the criminal charges seemed to not be bothered with the fact that OJ Simpson led a charmed life (fame, money, material comforts, etc.) that is not even remotely close to the life led by probably 98+% of the black community [and even the white, hispanic, asian and other communities in the USA). How could OJ be realistically viewed as a natural object of police misconduct? Maybe it was not so much about a love for OJ than it was one case out of many where "The Man" could not simply steamroll a black defendant.
The TV news feeds of the reactions of crowds of blacks and or crowds of whites as the verdict was read was illustrative of a gap in the way that the two groups view the same thing.
Can not belief it was 20 years ago and can not believe that this story still has legs (sort of like the Jon Benet Ramsey story from 1996 when the 6 year old beauty pagent contestant was killed in her Boulder, Colorado home; that story still surfaces from time to time).
<< <i>I was at a British pub in Tampa with my roommate, watching the 1994 World Cup. The drunken Brits at the table in front of us were a hoot when the low-speed chase happened. I can still picture one of them saying something like, "He can't get away, they can do whatever they want, they're the police. Oh wait, this is America, you can sue! You can sue for anything in America!". >>
If you think America is lawsuit happy, the UK is even worse except one recourse the winning party has over there that America doesn't is the losing party is normally on the hook for the winning party's legal costs.

Article I remember titled "OJ Tells All" could be summed up in three magic words...I Did It.
And as polticially incorrect as this is gonna be, how is it that at the time of the so-called "trial of the century" (I would think the Lizzie Borman trial would better qualify but whatever) roughly 80%ish of whites thought he was guilty and 80%ish of blacks thought he was not guilty (he sure as hell wasn't "innocent"; I think he was a well known wife beater/thug even before the murders, correct?)? I don't get it. I just don't get it at all.
PS: Before anyone tries to cry wolf, sorry "RACIST!!" at me, I feel exactly the same way about the Rodney King deal a couple years prior...the tape clearly shows the "cops" beating him to a pulp over and over and he wasn't hardly putting up any fuss at all (if he even could by that time)...how is it that they got off totally scot free?
