This will be interesting to see. The best part will be to watch them develop a jury pool that can completely disregard all previous cases and history and focus completely on this incident looking solely at whether his actions meet the elements of the statute beyond a reasonable doubt.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that after 13 years of “getting away with murder” that it would turn out to be a hold-up in a Las Vegas casino that finally puts OJ away for life…this is going to be the media circus of the year

Can you nail him this time?

IF, OJ did the robbery… Then, does he have moneys in his accounts or flat broke ? IF OJ have lots of moneys, then, why rob the casino for ? what make OJ come to Las Vegas ? Was it on purposed to take revenged ? We (the people)have no idea what goes through his mind ? God know whatever OJ is guilty or innocent until proven guilty in court law. Bad crooked people have NO business rights for robbing in any places!!!

I think that OJ believes he is above the law. Next time he should call the cops to recover his stuff. Could all this be to steal the spotlight regarding the book (if I did it) that was published and released around the same time? Too many coincidences. I hope Metro does their job (unlike LA) and nails him. At least he will be in jail. A backwards way to get justice for Nicole and Ron, but we will take what we can get. Karma IS a wonderful thing!

Looks to me like a Time Magazine cover as IDIOT OF THE YEAR. The slogan is true, “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas”. Well, he did it in Vegas and he’s going to stay in Vegas.

Like I always told my kids “do something bad to someone else or do something illegal and it will always come back to bit you in the a**!” Well OJ, guess what came to bit you in the A** and now you are going where you should have gone years ago!! I’m sure Nicole is in heaven all smiles right now.

I could care less about OJ, What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, so do you OJ.
Sleaze bag of sleaze bags: The ex con that started this, and pumped OJ up knowing that he would do something stupid, and wore a wire so he could sell the audio to a sleaze network website. They should throw all of the thugs in jail along with their pal OJ, more air for the rest of us to breath. Especially the sleaze that stole the stuff to begin with. Don’t you just enjoy the way OJ’s pals are singing like canary’s to the prosecution, talk about fair weather friends. Britany Spears and Tommmy “Pacman” Jones need to send OJ a carton of cigarettes, got the heat off their butt. Pacman in town today for police interview and was barely mentioned, otherwise he would have had cameras all over his sleaze butt.

Maybe the mob who runs this town set this up like they did the payback murder hit of Nicole for making OJ get out of an 800 # gambling ring with them. I dare you to print this and the Wasz Fax and ask why they don’t go after the crooks who stole his stuff to begin with, but I bet the Tribune will. What, Vegas can’t get real gangsters anymore since it’s a “family” resort now, so they have to say OJ’s one for getting his own stuff?

Who was that guy to Attorney Galanters left on the press conference today? He is the real star of the show! WOOO HOOOOO

Comment by S P — September 19, 2007 @ 2:13 pm
WELL ONCE AGAIN HE WILL WALK OUT A FREE MAN!!! BUT IF HE WAS A NOBODY I’M SURE HE WOULD STILL BE SITTING IN CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER. BUT THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO SAY IS ONCE AGAIN THE GOLDMAN’S ARE TRY TO PUT THEIR NAME OUT THERE AND JUST REMEMBER MONEY DOESNT BRING ANY ONE BACK YOU DONT SEE THE BROWN’S TRY TO GET ANY THING BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE CLASS PEOPLE WHO WHERE INVOLED IN THE OLD CASE NEED TO STAY OUT OF THIS ONE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT CASE

Someone, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get soap on a rope, for this damn dope!!

Um…who cares?
We have Blackwater making BILLIONS of dollars killing civilians in Iraq, Shrubby acting like he wants to start some shite in Iran…when we can’t even secure frickin’ Bagdad, we got REAL concerns happening here and all people can do is be obsessed with OJ Simpson.
What the hell is wrong with you white people?
You just have to hate on a black man, don’t you.
Me? All I know is this:
Had it been OJ’s FIRST wife (the black one) found dead in a pool of blood, it would have been case closed and there would have been no trial. It would have been on the books as “Unsolved” and they’d have long called it a day.
Screw OJ.
Let’s get busy with being concerned with some REAL stuff going on here, OK?
Dang.

hey OJ - “Thanks for all the money created by this publicity. Maybe this time we can keep him behind bars. We could use some more infamous prisoners in our prisons.”

To O.J.: News Flash - GET OFF THE CRACK COCAINE YOU DOPE!

Comment by Lost in Vegas — October 8, 2007 @ 4:16 pm
You have to admit–OJ is great press!! I mean he just simply CANNOT stay out of the spotlight! The media must love him. He is constantly entertaining.
His mugshot says it all. That little smirk–you can just hear him thinking, “I got away with murder–this is NOTHING.”

His poor family drug through the dirt again:(

OJ haters, back up a little. The law is about justice
not revenge. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial, whether he is poor man or a hated celebrity.

It seems unfair that the guy who wielded the gun had made a deal with the prosecution and will be used with the othes “to get” OJ. They will most likely get light sentences.

If anyone in the prosecution team read this, remember why you went to law school. To bring about justice and fairness to the legal system. Not to “nail OJ” at all cost, so that you can become famous or write a book after that.

What I would like to hear is a comment from our Mayor,
Oscar Goodman on this subject since he was one of
O.J.’s top attorneys in his murder trial of his wife
Nicole! Cats maybe got his tongue!! Things that make you say Hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

I find it very hard to believe that even in society today, There are people who still want to hurt someone because of a hunch. This means that because you feel he did do it long ago, so now it doesn’t matter if he did not do it this time. You have alot of everyone who was there, and saw everything; Yet they are getting off free just to hand over the smoking gun. REMEMBER Humans “OJ never physically had ANY type of WEAPON” (OJ is a HUMAN BEING ALSO)
