^That case has absolutely nothing to do with the crimes OJ is being tried with.
You're comparing resisting arrest with kidnapping?
She had two felony counts against her, he had a dozen.
And it kind of rains on your "Martha Stewart" jibe to use a petite, black, immigrant woman as your example of someone getting disproportionate treatment doesn't it?

How is it possible that there are people who didn't vote for the "I don't care" option?
How, I ask you. How??

^^ Because some people believe that cold-blooded sociopaths who think nothing of murdering innocent people should be locked away from the rest of society.
The prosecution failed to prove he was guilty of murder. Unfortunately, there is no appeals for ineffective prosecution so, no matter how bad a job of a trial they ran, the law says he's not guilty. He certainly appeals guilty (the "if I did it" certainly points to that), but I can't say for sure he's guilty of something he wasn't convicted of.
I can say that he deserves every day he spends in jail for armed robbery. That's not a minor offense. But I try and separate those accusations in my mind.

^Unfortunately a lot of people can't.
Ultimately, the American justice system is based on prosecutors having to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a person committed the crime they are accused of. In a fair society, the burden of proof should never be upon the accused.
In Simpson's murder case, the prosecution failed to adequately prove that he committed the murder and thus we have no choice but to accept that he is not guilty. I also believe that the subsequent civil case which he lost should have been covered by the concept of double jeopardy. He was, effectively, put on trial for the same crime twice even if the potential punishment (i.e. loss of his liberty versus loss of his wealth) was different.

I Don't Care.
As a matter of fact I'm kind of sick of hearing about O.J.
How many years has it been now, with him and his legal troubles...

Keep in mind that a jury found him not guilty of homicide charges. That doesn't mean the jury didn't think he killed her, it could have been a negligent homicide, not a premeditated homicide (probably not, but the possibility still exists).
Also, it's entirely different courts for entirely different purposes. One is a criminal case for offense against the state. The other is a civil case to right a private wrong. Most criminal cases could have a civil case as well (it just usually doesn't happen because the criminal doesn't have enough money to justify it).
