i realize this is coming from a tabloid, but the NE has been accurate and ahead
of the MSM on quite a few issues in the recent past. the OJ trial caused much racial division in the US. everyone in the country basically knew he slashed those people up.
and when the verdict was read: white people groaned outwardly at the injustice, while black america celebrated a man beating a double murder charge simply because it was a famous black man killing white people; and in their minds the verdict represented a kind of "social justice".
i'm just wondering if him coming out after all these years and confessing, knowing
that nothing legally can be done about it, for purely "attention whore" reasoning
will cause any of the blacks who celebrated the verdict to have misgivings about their own actions during that time.

Even if the NE made all this up and this Oprah interview never takes place... don't we all STILL know he did it? I mean - are there still detractors out there?

yeah...but then they could justify theirselves with the not-guilty verdict. now? it's a bit different. now, you have a 200+ lb man
admitting he slashed a 90lb woman up on the ridiculous claim of "self-defense". they have no excuse now. if they don't admit
to oj being a piece of $h!t after the confession, then they prove theirselves purely racist in motive.

That's weird. When John Gotti was on trial, America was pretty cool about it. Hollywood stars were coming in to sit and watch...a TRIAL. Where were the offended groans then?

well, i really doubt too many people care about one gangster killing another. but a man who slashes up 2 innocent people, one of these
people being the mother of 2 small children might have a slight different effect, ya think?
 
This shouldn't be in "Breaking News."

We've known since 1989.
 
Too bad he can't be held and executed for it.

I would like to thow this in faces of the jury that allowed him to walk because he is black.
 
The jury really had no choice but to arrive at the decision they did. The prosecutors made sure of that. Remember, "If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit."

his "confession" is breaking news. if a mod wishes to move the thread to "general discussion", he can do that.

You have no sense of humor.

Is one injustice is less important than another? And wasn't that wife with two kids an adulterer?

it was the old..."if you find this man guilty, you're a racist" ploy. obama basically was elected president along these same principles.

yeah. maybe. so you're saying OJ was a faithful husband? just full of all kinds of ignorant excuses, i see.
black power, bro!!!!! you go!!!!!!
 
Some may think OJ got away with it, but his life has pretty much been a mess since the trial. I've always believed he either killed his wife and her lover (Mr. Goldman) or he had them killed. But we're a nation of laws. He had his criminal trial and he was found "not guilty". So, no matter what I or anyone else believes, a jury of his peers didn't believe the evidence credible enough to punish him and instead set him free.

Regardless of what one may think OR what confession OJ may give, he'll never be tried for these murders unless someone presents new evidence to convict him. Other than the surviving family members of the victims, I think people who continue to anguish over this issue are just wasting their time. Man has had his shot at a obtaining a criminal conviction and fell short, but in the end OJ will get whatever fate God bestows on him. One can only hope such an end is justified.

this really isn't about OJ himself. it's about racial division within america and who's to blame.

So to all of you who believed you needed to vote for the one term president Obama last time to show you were not racist please use your next opportunity to vote for anybody but the Marxist to show us that you are not stupid.
 
It is false. He did no such thing.

It had nothing to do with race. He had kick ass lawyers and no he should not be executed as he was foud not guilty by a jury of his peers.

Who's to blame? Surely one cannot blame OJ, a single person, or a handful of jurors.

fwiw, I met OJ post-trial and my talk with him convinced me he was guilty. My wife, at the time, said "I wonder what it feels like to stick a knife in your wife" and that pretty much ended the conversation (Tiki Bar, Islamorada).

OJ walked because the prosecution and LAPD were incompetent and doubts arose do to years of police corruption.

What I remember most about the OJ trial was that it turned me off of mainstream media forever.

I met OJ after he moved to Miami and came in contact with him occasionally. He came off as a very friendly person and acted as if we were old friends upon our first meeting. I've never met anyone who portrayed himself that way. I don't know if it was an act or real. I also noticed his limp every time I saw him. I wondered if that was real as well.
