All i can say is don't every criticize the O.J. jury or California after
this verdict for Robert Durst. At least the OJ verdict had some basis. Even after admitting that he shot the man and cut him up and tossed him the river...this mand is found not guilty. The sourth will never change.

2. Well did you hear about the "make my day" law in Colorado?
A guy killed a neighbor's dog because of its barking, and when the neighbor came over to confront him, he killed him with his shotgun. And they couldn't even charge him because that law says it's perfectly fine to defend yourself that way. (And yes, the law is named after what you think it's named after.)

I find that pretty sick too.

7. actually...
nobody killed the dog. It was shot with a pellet gun. It's unclear who did it.

The dog's owner didn't just go next door to "confront" the guy. He carried a three foot club and smashed in a window. If somebody did that to ME, I'd defend myself with lethal force, too.

3. Evidently you are unfamiliar with Texas justice.


You need to investigate the Cullen Davis story. In Texas if you are a gadzillionaire or close you cannot be found guilty of anything. The Texas penal code starts out “Whites and good ole boys get one free pass, blacks and browns go directly to jail do not collect $200. Gadzillionaires, honey y’all do what you want.”

4. The well-off beating the rap is not a new game.

In fact it is one of the oldest.

If you are wealthy enough what does murder matter?

5. .......
Usually it's white collar crime. At least now we know they kill people directly, too.

8. OMG - you know that is the truth.
I know this is opening a can of worms, but OJ so clearly did NOT kill those people. Indeed, it was his son Jason, who loathed Nicole.

9. And Nicole probably brought him the ugly shoes and guess
whose wears the same size shoes.

From a poster I trust on another forum...

"About a year after the trial, (One of OJ main attorneys) was in town
making an appearance. Afterward, at a reception, I approached
him and discussed the case. I asked him about my theory regarding
Jason. Looking somewhat surprised, he replied..."Well, his
alibi did not hold up. He said he was working, but when the police
checked, they found that he left work early. It turns out that
Nicole had planned to visit the restaurant where he worked and
he was going to treat her to a special dinner. When she stood
him up, he became enraged and left his job without explanation."
