He shouldn’t have any trouble finding someone to play the ‘back nine’ with him.

It looks like O.J. Simpson going to spend the rest of his life in jail. I remember back in 1995, watching the whole O.J. murder trial. Johnnie Cochran was an amazing lawyer. When he said, “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit”, I thought O.J. was getting away while murder. I still be believe to this day that O.J. did murder his wife and her friend. But now, after a 13 day trial, a 13 hours of deliberation and 13 years to the day after being acquitted, he is found guilty of robbery and kidnapping and now facing 60 years in prison. Talk about what goes around comes around, and the unlucky number 13. Was the race card played in this trial? Just because the entire jury was white, doesn’t mean that the race card was played. O.J. knew exactly what he was doing when he entered that Las Vegas hotel. If you believe someone as stolen your personal belongs then you call the police, and not just take actions into your own hands. The sentencing doesn’t take place until December, so we don’t know how long O.J. will be in jail. I just hope and pray that he will be okay, and that the last judgment belongs to God.

Ah Black Justice playing the race card. Why is it when a black man is found guilty by a white jury the jury must be racist? If a white man was found guilty and said it was because a black jury is racist there would be hell to pay. OJ is guilty and it’s about time that bastard ended up in jail. I hope he gets the same fate he gave the 2 people HE KILLED 13 years ago. The man is nothing more than a criminal.

Keep in mind that the defending attorney helped choose this jury. Could he have allowed the jury to be stacked with whites knowing that if he lost it would be a chance to play the race card upon appeal?
Makes sense to me.

Let’s keep in mind that the jurors are picked from a pool of people. The Defense and the State both interview the jurors and decide who they will sit in the jurors box for the final trial. OJ’s defense is trying to get him off one more time playing the ridiculous “race card.”

OJ did it to himself, there is no one else to blame. Plenty of innocent black men sit in jail,with far less evidence against them and does anyone care? We all should care. Why don’t people try to help them? Again, he did it to himself and he had all the resources most black males do not have.

Why don’t you save your outraged protests for a black man who is actually wrongfully incarcerated? I assure you, you won’t have to look far to find one.
Maybe it was impossible to find a black person for the jury because all those tapped for the pool deliberately made the trial an issue of race than one of justice (like what you’re doing).
Blathering inanely about “White America” and the “system” of white majority damages the cause of civil rights warriors everywhere.

I keep seeing how these jurors keep trying to explain how they came to the verdict based on the evidence. well I watched the trial locally in las vegas and I dont see how they could have come to the guilty on all counts. Even though I think Oj was stupid to put himself in the situation where white folk could get him.

This is nothing but a modern day lynching. I don’t know if O.J. was guilty of the first crime, but having followed this case closely, it is obvious that the “system” and the white majority felt they had a score to settle. The judge should have declared a mistrial when she heard the police declare him guilty before they even started the trial.

And listening to the tapes, all the jurors would have been clear that O.J. did not intend to take things that did not belong to him. And why didn’t the FBI or local police get involved when they were asked “before” the incident? It seems to me that they wanted something like this to happen.

Well White America, you have your reason to shout. If you keep harboring this hate, you’ll be shouting in the very place of eternal damnation o which you have condemned The Juice.
