Is double jeopardy in play no matter the charge for the slasher?
Have you ever heard the saying if we don't get him in the wash we will get him in the rinse?
Hook line and sinker what a dumb azz!

What I'm saying is no matter what the charges .
He will be found guilty because of the double murders.
In essence he is being retried for the same crime and double jeopardy is in play.
He is in the rinse!
There be a method to this madness and the fool has returneth to his folly!

Simpson friend: It seemed like a setup
Walter Alexander, 46, said Simpson may have been tricked because the memorabilia dealer who tipped him off also recorded everything on tape.
"It sounds like a setup to me," Alexander told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. He said Simpson had thought the memorabilia belonged to him after getting a call from the dealer.
"He did believe that he was going to retrieve his own property," Alexander said.

he is an ego mad nut. he thinks he got away with murder and no one can touch him. the argument for double jeopardy can be made of them using the civil courts, after a not guilty verdict. (OJ, Robert Blake)
not guilty verdict once does not give you a get out jail free card for life. he has got away with so much for so long that he didn't believe anyone would even charge him. he admitted he "recovered property" that was in the possession of some one else. if he had a legal claim to it you, use the law, not make your own rules. he deserves to die in prison, 60 years old + long sentence. being rich and infamous should not get him off again.

I understand what you are saying - I think.
OJ was acquitted for the murders whereas the majority believe he was guilty. [Gotta love the American jury system - defense lawyers do.] OJ should have been intelligent enough to realize he would be walking on thin ice the rest of his life. He had already used up all his good court karma so after the acquittal he should realize bad things will happen to him when he gets into court forever.
So, you imply he will be found guilty on most any charge he is ever arrested on as a make up call for the acquittal. Granted, he will NOT be charged for the murders again but the murders & his acquittal will be in every juror's mind. So, he will actually be tried on the murders again. Can OJ receive a fair trial anywhere in the US ever again or will the jurors be thinking of the murders & those thoughts influence their verdict?
As for your question - I am not so sure. It is an interesting premise & can actually be true but it can only be true if OJ is stupid enough to put himself into court again. We are now seeing the worth of a USC education.

No. The prosecution will have to prove each element of the offenses for which Mr. Simpson stands accused. The judge will ensure that any guilty finding is correct as a matter of law.
Will it be hard to find 12 people in this country who will let him walk? Ahh, he doesn't need 12. He needs one to hang the jury.
Never underestimate the ability of one randomly-picked American to be a total dumbass when it counts.
We have to be extra careful who sits on this thing...one incident of juror misconduct and hello mistrial.

The doctrine of double jeopardy is a person can only be charged once with crime of murder once. look it up
...to answer your question if someone came in my store and held me against my will I would press charges to have false imprisonment charges borough against him, and if he was yelling at me the way he did i would call the cops period.
but again he will probably get a way with it

Eh, no. Once a criminal always a criminal. He's been busted, it has nothing to do with the murders. Different crime, different time.
Sorry I know its a negative out look, but I guess when you work in the crj system everyday, you learn and see a few things.

Being found innocent on one charge does not give you a "free pass" to commit other crimes. Not sure what you think double jeopardy is.

He's not being arrested again for the murders, he's been arrested for breaking and entering. How is that double jeopardy????

I think he was guilty of murder, but his court case said he was innocent. And I think society should treat him as innocent.
I think as much as folks mistrust O.J., his past should not be used in his present legal troubles. He should be tried just as the next person.

What in God's name are you babbling about?
He got off clean on two murder charges. There is no 'double jeporady'.
He's been arrested for an entirely different charge...unless I missed something....
