Watching ESPN June 17th special and I wonder...

[Deuce]

Why didn't OJ get charged for alluding and evading officers?

[acarmelo1]

cuz you cant charge Orange Juice

[Brock Landers]

Great show!!!

[stealthyburrito]

probably because the prosecution banked on the fact they'd get him for double homicide.

[Deuce]

It was my 9th bday, I remember it like it was yesterday.

[hoopster42]

because he was a sympathetic figure during the slowspeed chase, holding a gun to his head in the backseat of a white bronco, though it was ACs bronco not his. you cannot charge for some small thing like that when you've got a double murder charge. does this make sense or no?

[stealthyburrito]

It was my 9th bday, I remember it like it was yesterday.

so tomorrow is your birthday, happy birthday deuce.

[JohnGalt2341]

Because the officers were white racists obviously! They planted the White Bronco on OJ. Don't you know anything?

[Deuce]

Stealther, YES

[Brock Landers]

Happy Birthday Deuce....

Apparently you are overweight, were you heavy then?

i was 20...

[obamaismyuncle]

[Deuce]

Mine too. The answer is Jonnie Cochran.

We have the same Bday????

[Deuce]

Happy Birthday Deuce.... Apparently you are overweight, were you heavy then? i was 20...

Brock, back off.

[hoopster42]

Mine too. The answer is Jonnie Cochran.

johnnie cochran not jonnie, and he's not the reason the los ang d.a. decided not to introduce the slowspeed chase. it was because most of america and of course southern california viewed oj as a sympathetic figure during the chase and it would have been something in favor of oj. the jury would have ignored the consciousness of guilt element of oj fleeing and focused on how "bad the lapd was" for trying to arrest oj. i know 100 times more about this case than anyone you know or anyone you know, knows.

[hoopster42]

one more thing, obamaismydaddy: mickey mantle was a terrible husband, father, and a complete drunk. no wonder he's your hero!

[Chi_archie]

I will be careful from no on when Alluding to an officer.... don't wanna get arrested on that BS charge

[Brock Landers]

how the fuk did a jury not convict that motherfukker then?? hearing his OWN words on that cell phone tells you everything. He CONFESSED!!

[obamaismyuncle]

How long are you leaving the forum for after the Lakers win tommorrow night?

[Chi_archie]

I would like to see an update on the lives of every one of those jurists...... and figure out how they live with themselves day to day, knowing they released a man that killed two people with his bare hands....

[hoopster42]

[stealthyburrito]

like obama said, johnnie cochran, guy may be one of the greatest defense attorneys in u.s. history.

most of them had no clue what dna was and still dont, they think oj was framed or the evidence was "contaminated". they are clueless. this case was lost when the la d.a.'s office decided to move the trial from santa monica near where the crime occurred (brentwood) over to downtown so they could get more non-white jurors. that was the day the case was lost.

[hoopster42]

like obama said, johnnie cochran, guy may be one of the greatest defense attorneys in u.s. history.

you think cochran stopped the lapd and d.a. from charging oj with resisting arrest

man we have some ignorant fukken people on this forum! thank God i might be gone after tomorrow!

[Shortstop]

I wonder if OJ has made any progress in dedicating his life to finding the "real" killer?

[stealthyburrito]

no i don't, he helped him get off the hook for double homicide, maybe you should read what i was responding to.

Shorty what up brothahhhh! OJ is in prison in nevada serving minimum 9 years (out of 33) for his kidnapping etc charges. nevada appeals court will hear his case later this year or next spring

[hoopster42]

no i don't, he helped him get off the hook for double homicide, maybe you should read what i was responding to.

deuce's original question: "Why didn't OJ get charged for alluding and evading officers?"

obamaismydaddy's response: "the answer is jonnie cochran".

obama misspells mr. cochran's first name, and gives the wrong answer!

there are some stupid, ignorant, uneducated people on this forum!!

[in2thethickofit]

Oj who?

[Brock Landers]

anyone catch the part at the end where they asked Pat Riley if "oj simpson doesn't cut to the left, do you think he makes it"

Amazing how the NBA finals was taken over by this...i remember in Chicago the game was down in the little corner of the screen, picture in picture.

Also amazing that Griffey Jr hit his 30th homer of the season on JUNE 17th!!! Fukking Strike that year, terrible, i was only betting on Horses then, so i didn't care as much.

Went to Woodstock 94 when the Strike happened. thats another story LOL

[Shortstop]

Shorty what up brothahhhh!

What's happenin' Hoops!

[Ralphie1412]

Is this a serious question? They had him for double murder, what the **** does a resisting arrest charge do?

I always forget but it makes me smile every time I remember that OJ is in jail for the rest of his life. You have got to be one stupid mother****er to beat a murder charge then get 25 years for robbery 15 years later.

[Chi_archie]

no doubt the number of non-white jurors had a big part in OJ going free..... I was a freshmen or sophmore in HS during this trial.....and I can remember having a spirited debate in our civics class...


my contention was that there was no way OJ would be found Guilty because a) the minorities (jurors) felt they deserved to finally get the "WIN" in a highly public forum and b) the white jurors if not tampered with from the outside, would be made fully aware if they were in danger of hanging the jury.....that bringing in a guilty or hung jury verdict would mean THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANOTHER HUGE SET OF RIOTS.

looking back, I might have been a bit too much a conspiracy theorist in my youth....... but I remember knowing early on in that trial that justice would not be served, even though at least 97% of rational unbiased human beings would know OJ was guilty

good post dude, but this 97% number of people thinking he was guilty does not mean they would vote him guilty in the trial. several unbiased nonwhite, nonblack people ive spoken to believe he was probably guilty but not beyond a reasonable doubt. in my mind, after seeing every piece of evidence, there was absolutely no doubt at all that oj murder ron and nicole
