I have never seen a case like this where the judges are letting the Goldman family take everything from this man ?
He was acquitted....Innocent ...A jury didnt convict him
so why are they being able to stop his book from being published ..Now he is supposedly a robber(they had to find something).He didnt have to use any guns or have his associates use guns but he was trying to get his stuff back that was stolen. What would you have done ?
Hopefully went to get your stuff ?
I would like to know what you think about this whole O.J. Thing.
On top of that everyone else involved was granted bail why not O.J. ?

The Goldmans haven't gotten much yet of what the judge ordered.
A "Not Guilty" verdict is not the same as "Innocent." It only means that the case was not (in the jury's opinion) proved "beyond reasonable doubt."
For a civil judgment, the standard is a tiny bit looser. The case must be proved by "preponderance of evidence" and it requires only 10 out of 12 jurors to agree. This is still a pretty high standard.
Now imagine that somebody had murdered your son and had gotten away with it. What would you do?
I'd say that OJ could move on with his life if he were to tell the truth, apologize, and do his best to make amends. I don't expect this to happen soon.

He was never found innocent. He was found not guilty. There is a difference.
His team of attorneys were better with smoke and mirrors than the prosecution. The trial was more about blaming and examining the police departments competency (or lack of it) in handling the case. Then Johnny Cochran pulled the race card at the end of the trial where LA was already on edge hoping a guilty verdict would not spark another riot like the one that happened after the Rodney King thing.
He was later, in a civil case, found guilty of in the wrongful death suit and was fined 33.5 million dollars. After the civil case---he didn't Have any 'stuff'.
On this robbery thing. If the police are holding him and not the others, that is the decision of the judge handling the case. I'm sure he has his reasons---legal ones.
The guy is pond scum. Don't waste your sympathy on him. If he goes on with his life I hope for the sake of justice (finally) that getting on with his life won't take him any farther than from one side of his cell to the other!

I feel that sometimes life is kinda funny. What comes around, goes around. Wow, sometimes life comes back and bites you in the ***. Some way or another he was going to end up in jail to pay for what he did to the mother of his children's. Even though he was found innocent everyone knows otherwise. What he claims was stolen from him was really not his in the first place. It belonged to the Gold mans fam. And I don't agree with the Gold mans fighting to get ownership of the book that explains if he did it how he did it . How he killed their son and the mother of his kids. I guess that is a way of getting OJ any way they can and the book was one this reasons to get back at him somehow. OJ did not deserve bail. I'm sorry but how would you feel if he did this to one of your love ones. All the evidence was pointing at one person only and that was OJ he is guilty of that crime in my book.
Stay well I have nothing against you personally this is just my opinion.

Found not guilty is not the same as innocent.
He was found liable for the deaths in a civil court.
O.J. should be in prison for murder but because he once was a football hero he didnt get convicted. Too much evidence says he did it. Obviously the jury was blind or forced to not convict because of "reasonable" doubt.

But he was found liable for their deaths in a civil trial. He had to pay the Goldman's $33 Million. He never did, and all his property was longer his so he had no right to steal back "his stuff." I'm sure he'll be able to move on with his life in about 30 to life.

The book is being published. The Goldmans are having it published. OJ owes them money still. It still baffles me how someone can be found guilty for murder by one court but not another. Baffles me. I think OJ needs to stop thinking he is above the law personally and then he could move on with his life. Your right he didnt have to use guns but he did and that is against the law.

I would not have used guns (there was a gun)
I would not have strong-armed my way in to a private room
I would not have taken the law into my own hands
I would not have attempted to take someone elses private property (there were other players memorabilia taken)
I would have been smart enough to know when in Vegas, you are on multiple cameras at all times
and I would not have murdered those 2 people, either

He was found liable for their deaths in court.
I also believe that OJ (AND IN NO WAY IS THIS AN EXCUSE OF ANY KIND, HE IS A PSYCHOPATH) suffers from football related Traumatic Brain Injury as well as permanent chemical imbalances from steroid and narcotics usage. BTW, I do recall him saying if was responsible for Nicole and Ron's murders he would have hired hitmen.
Lock him up:)

Ojs best move would be to get about 10 high limit credit cards. Take cash advances on all of them. Then move to some island somewhere and never come back.

Honey, he's brought all the nonsense in his life upon himself. He deserves all of what he will be getting. Which means a prison cell shared with a fat guy who wants to be OJ's "friend" every day.
PS...he wasn't "innocent" in the murders. Anyone who believes OJ was innocent needs their head examined.
