Wow, I guess Las Vegas truly is a 24-hour town. “The verdict was read just before 11 p.m Friday after jurors deliberated for 13 hours.” The one jury I was on where a verdict was rendered, we were handed the case about 4pm. A quarter to five the bailiff knocked on the door and asked if we were close to a verdict. A quick vote on _whether_ we should vote on a verdict showed a majority of us were not comfortable with that yet – we hadn’t really thrashed out all of the arguments – so we said no, we weren’t. We went home, reconvened at 9am the next morning and after about an hour and a half, did the first vote – 10 to 2 in favor of the defendant (It was a civil case so that was good enough) and were done. I can easily see deliberating for 13 hours in a high-profile case like this one, but until, say, 10:30pm? The mind boggles. Howcome counts 5 through 12 are doubled? Two defendants, two victims, or what? ---

“I sentence you to 20 years in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison!” Buh-bye you murdering prick. You’ll hopefully have many years to think about your miserable life while rotting in a 6x8 cell. Any bets as to how long it will take him to “find Jesus”? ---

Find Jesus? He’s not smart enough to look into a mirror and find the real killer! OJ is the pits. After him and Anita Bryant, I’m surprised people still drink the stuff. ---

He’ll never find the real killer now, he can’t search for him on golf courses. That is what he’s been doing all these years, isn’t it? ---

I wonder how long it will take before someone sticks a knife into his gut. I hope he doesn’t get a cushy assignment at one of those country club prisons but gets cast down with the sodomites and low lifes. ---

Is he going straight to prison now, or is he out pending his appeal? There will be appeals, you know. I wonder how the Goldmans are feeling now. ---

This undoubtedly sounds fatuous, but the ones I’ve sincerely pitied, for so long, are his kids. And perhaps the rest of his family as well. I don’t know whether they actually believed him innocent of slaughter or felt they _had_ to believe him. Either way, he’s dragged them through a particular kind of hell too, and kept right on dragging. (I imagine looking at him in quiet moments and mental visuals overlaying the ordinary…::shudders:🙂 Maybe this will bring a peace of sorts to the Goldman family. Talk about heart wrenching. It’s past time OJ’s public implosion ceased. ---

I found this part of the article interesting: > [@](#): > > In a strange irony, this verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was acquitted of the killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles. First he writes the “I didn’t do it, but if I did this is how I would’ve done it” book, now this–I think we’re seeing the unfolding of karma at work here. Nasty piece of work, finally getting what he deserves. ---

We deliberated until about 10 PM. The judge let us decide if we wanted to keep deliberating or go home until morning, though. ---

Ha, fucker! Enjoy prison! You’re not getting what you deserve but at least you won’t be living the luxe life anymore. Coffee gets such a bad rap, but OJ’s the one that’ll kill ya. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-juice/466419.md?page=2)
