OJ Simpson is going to jail!

[Miss Chicken]

Only because that particular jury could not bring in a criminal verdict.

The jury still found that it was highly likely he did it, so does it matter if the law restricted the verdict they could bring in? It is still just as good evidence for his guilt as the criminal trial was. In fact, in might have been a better verdict, because of all the incompetence the criminal trial showed. We know that the criminal system has found innocent men guilty, so its just as likely that it has found guilty men innocent.

We have one jury that says he was not guilty, we have one that says that it is highly likely he did it. I think people just have to decide for themselves which jury reached the right decision.

Not so far as criminal actions are concerned

But we are talking about whether he killed them or not, not whether it was criminal for him to do so or not.

I'm saying that since he was found not guilty, it should not have even been mentioned by the judge

 

[Miss Chicken]

It would be wrong for the judge to have mention the case during the trial but all she did was to mention during sentencing that the term of sentencing she reached had nothing to do with the previous case. I do not see how that is wrong as it couldn't have influenced the outcome of his trial.

I'm so happy that OJ's going to jail. Karma indeed, even if it was delayed.
