Re: OJ Simpson guilty on all counts
Gee, haven't been on here in 3 years. But had to respond to this. I hope OJ does get an appeal. This case, and the sentencing, was payback for what happened 13 years ago. I am not a fan of his, but this trial, was a sham. The charges were trumped up out of proportion. Nevada wanted to do with him what California couldn't. Everyone says payback, karma. That's not the point. If anything, the charges should've been misdeameanors, not felonies. This was a total miscarriage of justice. He was on trial for the deaths of Nicole Simpson and Goldman, not for the Palace Station incident, period.
BTW, I live in Las Vegas so I am pretty much familiar with the ins-and-outs of this, that you don't read about in mainstream papers or hear about in public opinion. Truth be told, Las Vegas is a corrupt town. Politicians, the D.A.'s office, lying/abusive cops, deaths caused by cops that turns out "justifiable", deals to criminals that go scott-free, uuhh, what else. Judge Jackie Glass had her 15-minute of fame; her arrogance and deameanor was appalling. She and her councilman husband (of dubious distinction). She wasn't going to budge on anything, saying that the Nicole Simpson thing had no bearing. Right. Judge Glass lies. Everybody could see that OJ was gonna be railroaded on these charges.
Some of the laws here are ridiculous. Especially the "kidnapping" one, holding someone against their will. Don't ever tell anyone not to leave the room, you might be looking at kidnapping charges. People here have been murdered and not had a sentence close to what OJ got. Justice was not served in this case. Sorry to those that has just been looking at this as payback. This should've been tried on its own and not as a revenge which is what it turned out to be.
The saying "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"...well, be real careful because you might come out here for a vacation, do something totally stupid not realizing the consequences...and yeah, you just might be staying in Vegas doing 5-15, or more.
