I don’t sympathize with that mindset at all. The prosecution is supposed to ensure all pertinent charges are filed before going to trial, isn’t it? A fair number of those charges would be tossed out during a plea bargaining session, but the DA would catch grief for not doing his duty in the first place.
I just had a coversation with the only person I personally know who also knew OJ, and he agrees that:
- OJ either killed two people or knows who killed them and is protecting them.
- OJ did a incredibly stupid thing robbing someone.
- OJ deserves to go to jail and die there.
The forensic evidence against OJ in his double murder trial was overwhelming. The evidence against him in the armed robbery is, apparently, overhwhelming. (A videotape of the crime?!) He’s either the stupidest criminal ever to walk the planet or he really believes he is above the law.
Either way, he’s his own worst enemy, not to mention his poor children and the Brown and Goldman families, who’ve all had to live under the shadow of his notoriety for over a decade. He got away with double murder. There are so many paths he could have taken to try and redeem himself for committing that horrendous crime. He chose the low road. Is anyone surprised that, once again, he’s covered in slop? What a train wreck, what a waste.
Is he being treated unfairly? Probably. But “fair” would have put him in the electric chair, so I don’t think he has any fucking room to complain.
That’s the first I’ve heard of that. Where did you see it?
I heard of an audiotape, not a videotape. That’s still pretty darn up there.
Here’s the audiotape. http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/ivp/index?id=3024068
If it is admitted into evidence it could be a problem for him. I don’t believe there is a videotape of the event.
I thought someone said on one of those news shows that the guy who taped it sold it to one of the news rags…Maybe I misheard him.
He sold (or gave) the audiotape to TMZ.
The confusion might have come from some posts (maybe not even in this thread) that mention that since this happened in a casino, it’d be videoed because casinos video everything. That’s not quite true, they don’t video the inside of the hotel rooms.
The fact that it was audiotaped is being tossed about as an indication that it was a set up, but I don’t pretend to know the details of that line of thought.
Couldn’t he be both?
The only reason to phrase that in the form of a question is if you are on Jeopardy.
He is both extremely stupid and egotisticlly enough to think he is above the law.
And as far as the laws against murder go, he has been right.
