From Las Vegas

I'm not surprised one bit about the verdicts.  Found guilty on all 12 counts by an all white jury with only 2 minority alternates.  This is astounding but not surprising.  White people have been awaiting this opportunity for more than 13 years.  I suppose they will party tonight.  However, because he did not have a mixed jury that is automatic grounds for appeal.  I hope he can afford to hire some great appellate attorneys that can pick apart the prosecutions tactics etc... during this case; otherwise OJ will be in jail until his death. 

Where were his two oldest children?  Maybe they couldn't get there in time. 

GOD BLESS YOU OJ.  I know you were doing what you thought was okay but man you have a lot of maturing to do.  Maybe this is Gods way of slowing him down so he can redirect his attention from the white chicks onto Gods grace and mercy.

Oh well, I guess it sucks to be OJ right about now.

I guess his luck finally ran out. 

Whether or not he actually killed Nicole and her friend is between him and God since that jury acquitted him.   But he let his arrogance, egomania and sense of entitlement keep him from thinking this stunt through.  When you know that everyone in law enforcement  (the world?) is just waiting for  you to make a mistake, why on earth would you and your senior citizen posse even contemplate such a stunt?!  So, you don't trust law enforcement, big deal deal; at least it would be documented that a possible crime had been committed against you AND you wouldn't be on your way to jail.

Now, OJ and his senior citizen posse (friends)will probably be doing time for something stupid.  You have to wonder about the sanity of his friends (posse).  Why would supposedly adult  men take such chances with their own lives for THINGS!? Things that weren't even theirs.  The Goldsteins knew that all they had to was wait and they would eventually get some measure of justice.

OJ needs to be jail to protect himself from his own stupidity and arrogance and  the posse needs to be in jail so that their blind adulation doesn't get them into more trouble.

I think the verdict would have been the same even with more Black people on the jury.  Hopefully, Black folks are tired of OJ turning the Black community only when he is trouble. When his life is going well, he doesn't  need Black folks except of course his senior citizen posse. When his life is going down the tubes, he looks to Black folks to bail him out.   Not htis time.

Karma is a real cold b***h when she comes your way.

I guess his luck finally ran out.

Boy, I'll say!

Whether or not he actually killed Nicole and her friend is between him and God since that jury acquitted him.

Not actually. If OJ did actually kill the mother of his two children and Ron Goldman, a young man with his whole life ahead of him, that's a crime against humanity. When a man who committed murder gets away with it, the outrage society feels often lasts forever. (Can you imagine the sense of horror felt by Ron Goldman's family? Their son goes to Nocole Simpson's house to drop off a pair of glasses she left at a restaurant and ends up brutally murdered.)

But he let his arrogance, egomania and sense of entitlement keep him from thinking this stunt through.

I completely agree. And from where does such arrogance, egomania and sense of entitlement derive? Partly from being a celebrity and partly from having gotten away with murder.

I think the verdict would have been the same even with more Black people on the jury.

I'm not so sure about that. A brother can be guilty as sin but can always find a few black people who are willing to put the blame on "the system." In the case of a jury he would have only needed to find one to hang them.

Did you see his reaction to the verdict? I believe he actually thought he would walk.

That judge and prosecution team should of just put on their white sheets and stop pretending they were after the truth!

When the "all white" jury was selected and the minorities were stricken by the prosecutor his goose was cooked then technically, yet AA and some whites gave hope that common sense would prevail to the jury and see that this alleged case was nothing but "revenge" for some white folks especially white women!!!!!!!

Not having your "peers" adjudge you is grounds enough for an appeal, the law cannot hide from itself no matter how much you and anyone else wishes to disguise their racism as justice being done!!!!! just asking

I don't agree. While Simpson didn't brandish a firearm, his cohorts did, which makes him subject to prosecution. Even if he didn't know they were carrying weapons, he can be tried for armed robbery. Personally, I believe the kidnapping charge was a bit much, but that's the risk one takes when committing a crime.

Not having your "peers" adjudge you is grounds enough for an appeal.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe you're right about this. There's no Constitutional requirement for a jury of one's "peers." The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution states:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

The Nevada Supreme Court doesn't overturn many criminal cases. Nevada is a pro-prosecution state. If one is convicted in a criminal trial, most likely that conviction is going to stand appellate challenges.

See it's BS like this that shows who you really are and where you side.  The loss for the Brown and Goldman families is tragic but I also see the reverse. You say the loss of Ron Goldman was a crime against humanity, yet you always down play other things that Black folks bring up.  What was the middle passage and the holocaust of enslavement?  What about the lynching of Black folks?  What about Donald Byrd being drug behind a truck?  Aren't those things crimes against humanity?  All the countless KKK members and others who got away with murder of Black folks ancestors, and not too long ago either.  These are crimes against humanity.  Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown's murder, were that, a homicide that is unsolved.  You don't know what a crime against humanity is.  YOU are the crime against humanity with the BS you spout on here.  Can you imagine the horror that all Emmett Till's mother felt when here son was lynched and murdered?  What about when Medgar Evers was murdered? Latasha Harlan was shot in the back in LA by a Korean store owner and she was only 9 years old, the store owner got probation and it was on video. Rodney King got beat on TV with a video and his assaliants got away.   Again the Goldman's loss is tragic, but their son was not the first person murdered whose killer got away with it.
