You should be saying best wishes for the families of the victims he killed.

It was meant as a sarcastic statement and I'm sorry if it was misinterpreted you are right.... my apologies

Simpson was a great football player. An amazing running back.

As a human being, he has not done so well. Personally think he will struggle again when he gets out. He appears to have some strong anti social traits. I have never assessed him so wont pass out any diagnoses. But generally people who struggle with these traits do not change and no amount of rehabilitation seems to help.

What do they gain by doing that?

The 'framing' that I was alluding to had nothing to do with the LAPD's investigation/findings. It has to do with nefarious outside associations that the Simpsons had in regards to certain 'recreational substances' and money owed due to his wife's indulgences. As you recall, the Simpsons were separated at the time of these murders but he was still financially responsible for her 'living' expenses and both were seeing other people. Without getting into another conspiracy theory, it is possible that OJ disavowed himself from any responsibility for Nicole's 'past due' expenditures and was 'framed' in retribution. This scenario is not that far-fetched and based on a conversation I once had with a former collegiate football player at USC.

He described OJ as a truly gifted athlete but not very bright and that OJ's impoverished childhood background in SF may have had a profound effect on some of his poorer adult decisions in life. No excuses, just the way things turn out sometimes.

Sorry but the drug dealers as the killer theory is even worse than the police trying to frame a guy who they didn't even know if he was in the country at the time. All the evidence only points to one person.

It's interesting how people get so angry (some even in this thread) over OJ.

Yup.

[Canefan1]

Unconfirmed sources say the Kardashians will be sponsoring him in FL. Mainly Kris.

I'm in agreement with you.

For anyone interested the co conspirators are on HLN live now . Incredible.

If you want to be angry, be angry at the jury who acquitted him of the double murder. Be angry at the prosecution who screwed up that case so badly that the jury had reasonable doubt.

As far as I'm concerned, the state of NV has done their duty and OJ has served his time. I feel neither happy nor sad and certainly not angry.

There's some serious nonsense going on in this thread (drug dealers??), but I think this post is the one that is dead on.

[rolehex]

I wish him nothing but the worst.

[TheVTCGuy]

Two innocent human beings were brutally murdered. By OJ? Who knows other the OJ, but setting aside that terrible crime, a worshiped sports figure (OJ) spent years in prison for a different crime, desroying his image and ruining people that had faith in him.

There just are no winners in any part of this story.

[Runnin' Rebel]

Doesn't he have some kinda retirement plan from NFL ?? Other then that he can't have to much cash unless it's been stashed. His employability is zero.' Of course he'll probably get catered to at the golf clubs. Maybe not, I wouldn't want him in my club as a member.

Sorry but who is OJ?

[tyler1980]

objectively speaking, for the crimes he was actually convicted of he served more than his fair share of time.

The "other" trial is irrelevant as he was acquitted. Not taking sides one way or another, but 9 years for a first time felony offender (technically) is about par for the course and fair amount of time served.

He got out on the "points system" which is designed to be objective and his score was more than enough for release.

he has a pension which is untouchable as far as the civil judgment against him. A pension counts as "full time employment" and thus helps his "points" score as far as being a good candidate for release. He moved to Florida and his house is also protected from being confiscated due to the homestead law. He has plenty of protected assets, no need to stash it. I read that all his pensions net about 25k a month.

We have homestead law in Nevada. Thanks for reminding me about Flordia. I'll do that ASAP when I get down there in the next few weeks. Everyone should do this to protect your equity and residence

[MonBK]

When I lived in Florida I had a few properties in different states and if I remember it right you could only claim one homestead.

Guys like I said I apologized for my sarcasm this was a very serious matter and I do feel terrible for the two innocent people that were killed.... like I said I'm not a fan of OJ Simpson but we have to understand something as well when people are convicted and then sentenced, they serve their time... at some point they will be released whether it's in Canada the US or anywhere else for that matter they have the right to live their lives.

Would I want a convicted armed robber or murder next door to me of course not no one would... do I really care what happens to OJ Simpson not really I think what he did was pretty stupid as well as a major crime who deserve to be punished for it... whether he's a murderer or not is another story that's really not for me to decide either way....

I will leave it at this my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims of the murder as well as those involved in the armed robbery case he was convicted for...

[GB-man]

I was hoping they would say "sorry bro" and deny him.

For our TRF brethern over seas that don't know, OJ (the juice) a nickname for OJ Simpson (I think the OJ is short for Orange Juice). OJ Simpson is a star American football player in College and the National Football League. He played many seasons and is considered to be one of the best running backs ever. He was charged with the knife murders of his ex wife and her current friend/boyfriend Ronald Goldman. It was a sensational trial back in the 90s and it ended with a verdict of "not guilty." About nine years ago he was convicted of a different crime, I am not up on the details but I believe it was kidnapping; he has been in prison ever since. He was just paroled and will be released from prison in a few months.

It's short for his real name, Orenthal James

Back in the 1980s, OJ Simpson was a product spokesperson for Tree Sweet Orange Juice. Perhaps this is where some of the misconception arises from. Having grown up in the SF mid-peninsula during his collegiate career at USC, Orenthal James was pretty well known as OJ's actual first/middle names. Besides, who would name their child Orange Juice?

Here's OJ promoting OJ:

Karma. Yup that's the word.

Imho he was acquitted because of a failed prosecution not because of his innocence.

It could be argued that his penalty for the follow up transgression was disproportionate to the crime but ...

Karma is a b@tch.

Hopefully he stays out of the news for the rest of his days.
