What about o.j simpson?

Question

I would like to hear opinions on the fact that o.j had written a new book (which was cancelled). This was his opportunity to shed light on his side of the story. What do you think? Guilty? innocent? what do you think about him writing a book?

Talk to me....

Love

Answer 1

OJ, makes his own self look guilty without any additional pressure. Therefore I must conclude he done the deed. His book idea is perhaps a desire to get it off his chest without actually admitting to the crime.

The fact is, if he come out and said, "I, O.J. Simpson did in fact murder my ex wife and her boyfriend".., there is nothing that can be done to him because of a legal clause called "Double Jeapordy"..., meaning a man can not be charged twice for the same crime he was acquitted from.

This valid law of protection will no doubt be stricken from the books because of people like him, and many innocent people will end up in prison or death row when this happens. This double jeopardy law was designed to protect innocent persecuted people from eternal persistent vengeance seeking folks.

Unfortunately it obviously protects the guilty as well. What can be done to rectify the matter? Removing the very law designed to protect the innocent. Sad stuff really.

The whole OJ Trial proved one thing - you cant have justice or even escape what you really did, unless you have mega-big $$$ at your disposal. You cant get a fair trial unless you are rich. Even the guilty if they are rich enough can hire the right lawyers.

Answer 2

His opportunity to shed light on his side of the story? Uh - I believe he had TWO court cases that allowed him to do that. He owes Nicole Brown's family a LOT of money due to being found guilty in the civil case - and claims he has no money.

Instead of writing a book about HOW he would have killed his ex wife IF he had done it. Maybe he could have been spending some time PARENTING. His daughter was arrested a year ago or so - for disorderly conduct - and hitting a police officer. You know those poor children have to have MAJOR problems. Can you imagine your life if a bunch of people - including your grandparents - believed that your Dad killed your Mom?

My gut has always told me that he was guilty - but of course nobody really knows except him and perhaps a select few who are not talking. Either way - I'm not impressed with him as a person - and that BOOK - plus the interview both of which were cancelled - were absolutely disgusting ideas. Thank goodness the public spoke up and said - "NO!"

There - I talked to you.

Answer 3

Guilty as sin. Just another example of rich folks manipulating the crap system we refer to as the Judicial System. I am not totally jaded, but do fully believe that the more money people have here, the more they tend to get away with.

According to articles I have read, he did not actually write the book. A ghostwriter supposedly wrote all of the parts describing how he WOULD have done it "if he had." Given how many lies seemed to surround the whole case 11 years ago, I don't believe him. He probably had something to do with the ideas. I am very proud of the American media for making the decent choice(for change!) not to air the interview, or sell the book. They're usually so immoral; this was an impressive choice.

Answer 4

The book was ghost written and Simpson had already given interviews stating he was surprised by some of the "facts" that the ghostwriter seemed to know (implying that they were true even though they didn't come from him). So he was already playing the old "deniability" card in case the feds, for example, would charge him with violating his victims' civil rights.
I think all in all, this is a good thing. The idiots who have insisted he wasn't guilty will now be legitimate laughing stocks. The defense bar that is so proud of the system that, for one example, allows lawyers to buy expert witnesses who can tell the best lies, and that allows the lies themselves, may be a bit closer to having it's horns shorn.
Because the book is out there, and copies will be bootlegged, and maybe some honest US Attorney will want to repair some damage to the reputation of the system he so fervently defends.
And Simpson will have perhaps shot himself in the foot, and not been paid for it to boot. (Foot, boot, pun?)

Answer 5

I think he's always been guilty. money and fame and johnny cochran can cure anything. How he manages to keep pulling stupid stunts like the book and interview is amazing, and seeing how he can't get tried again for the murders, he can pretty much say whatever he wants now and not have to see a jail cell. Thats crazy to me. So not only do both of the victims families have to deal with this arrogant nut job his kids have to deal with their father reaping the benefits of getting away with murder and being able to walk around mocking the murders like he killed some rodents in his kitchen.

Answer 6

I think the media should stop paying attention to this freako. Maybe then he will shut up. As to if he's guilty or not, well, I think that was decided with the result of the civil lawsuit that he lost. Remember, the justice system is only as good as the lawyers you can afford.

Answer 7

If he was truly innocent, then why would he write a book entitled "If I Did It" ? That's just a sick and horrible thing, and it just caused the victims' families more pain. That man is a psycho and should be locked up.

Answer 8

OJ Simpson reason i did no longer like the way the Goldmans have dealt with OJ via seizing his money he has made and hence OJ merits somewhat of sympathy for me, i do no longer in basic terms like the Goldmans reason they're egocentric grasping human beings yet I do experience undesirable for them some kinfolk member of theirs getting murdered

Answer 9

Everybody in Europe thinks that he did it but was rich enough to get away with it. He made a joke of the American Justice system. Writing a book would just be a trick to put doubt again in the mind of the public. Screw him, he's done as much damage to the image of the US overseas as the prisoners abuse scandal in Iraq.

Answer 10

He has been found innocent by a jury ,dont let trial by the tabloid press become the norm.Good for O J he has been thru enough,let him tell his side if he wants,a lot of the time things are so biast once the gutter press sensationalise an innocent man
