    It's a 10-part series on the case.

    The first episode was last night on FX. It's going to repeat tonight.

    I thought it was pretty good.

    You guys should watch and learn a little American history. It'll do you some good.

          I love murder and mayhem, JJ.

          It turns me on.

          I can't get enough of 48 Hours and Dateline. By the way, it's ALWAYS the spouse.

            I don't mind it, they're like my children.

            As long as they don't use this particular picture it's not too confusing.

                It turns out someone else did it.

                Sorry for spoiling it.

                    Living in L.A. at the time, I had a front row seat. I don't need to watch a fictional movie about it. Hope he dies in prison.

                    On a lighter note, I remember a Saturday Night Live skit where they had O.J. drawing up plays on a notebook on the sidelines at a football game. As he drew routes the players would run, it spelled out, "I did it".

                            I read somewhere that OJ took salts the night before to retain water, and that is why his hands were too big for the gloves.

                              Seriously? That's hilarious, if true. I thought they asked him at the spur of the moment, didn't realize he had all night to think of a plan.

                              I'm just happy he's in prison now.

                              Sounds like he might have CTE, too.

                                    OJ is a thug, he killed that woman and young man in cold blood.. Should have gotten the death penalty for that.. Then he goes broke and gets convicted of kidnapping and robbery in Vegas a few years later.. Not a very bright guy...

                                    He should be a free man next year which is a travesty. http://heavy.com/news/2016/02/oj-sim...-photos-crime/

                                    He was a good running back though

                                        He's not going to get out next year, is he? I thought he was in there for like 30 years.

                                          Simpson was found guilty in 2008 in a Nevada robbery and kidnapping case and was sentenced to 33 years in prison.
                                          He is eligible for parole in October 2017. Simpson is currently serving his sentence at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada.

                                            The casting of David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian ruined it for me. Can't take that guy seriously, he's always going to be Ross Geller.

                                              Charles Manson had plenty of parole hearings, it doesn't mean he's getting out.

                                              He will rot behind bars.

                                              Hopefully he has excruciating headaches from CTE.

                                                He's kind of goofy, and John Travolta seems kind of bizarre as Robert Shapiro, but honestly, the first episode was pretty good. Check it out. Some insightful behind the scenes stuff.

                                                    I saw on a documentary recently that he had bad arthritis and stopped (likely was instructed) his anti-inflammatory meds a month before the trial.

                                                          Are you serious? He could barely read or write.

                                                          Reading his letters were like reading one of your posts.

                                                            The most sham trial in all of history, what a fuk'in circus it was! Gotta love our legal system, rich and famous, you're walk'in right on out. OJ was and is a stupid murdering fuk head who's right where he belongs. Did you guys hear where Marsha Clark said, "Had it been a "white" guy, he would have been convicted" You don't hear that everyday!
