He claims that he doesnt owe the restitution because he didnt commit the crimes. Why would anyone pay if they claim they were innocent? Wouldnt that be dumb?

As for the book deal, it is FICTIONAL. It was always supposed to be.

And who is defending anyone? More than anything, I am defending the constitution.

how are you defending the constitution? what does the constitution have to do with you or I coming to the obvious conclusion that this scum killed those two people? it makes me sick the lengths people go to in order to coddle and enable violent lawbreakers. there is a reason you think he probably did it, because its plainly obvious that he did. what got him off in the first place was this kind of fuzzy thinking and the weakminded jurors they scrounged up.

Same here.

Or possibly the shoddy police work and the incompetent prosecution?

Our constitution provides for a fair trial and i respect the outcomes of said trials. Some of you obviously don't.

Ordered to pay with what?

i wonder if he doesn't pay, can he be found guilty of contempt? can they put you in jail for that for a civil trial case? seems like they should be able to.

and he wasn't found innocent, he was found not guilty--there is a difference...how he was found not guilty is beyond me--i guess the same way blake was found not guilty, and the same way the spector case has been 'hung'--hero worship gone wild.
as for the one having nothing to do with the other--that isn't necessarily so, as twice now oj has resorted to violence as a means to an end. altho not found guilty in the criminal proceedings, he was found responsible in the civil matter--he isn't pure as the driven snow here. when part of a jury, you are told to consider all the evidence, as well as your common sense. common sense tells me oj is
an idiot
violent
repeatedly takes actions that indicates he feels he is above the law

oh, you know he just has his nfl pension...:rolleyes:

That money is retirement. He has to live.

in a mansion?!

besides, he didn't care if those other two people lived. they felt they 'had to live', she had two kids to raise. poor oj, reduced to penury--he probably had to scale down from a super mansion to a regular mansion.

The law is the law.

sure is, and the judge told him to pony up--right?

i mentioned spector earlier--judge declared a mistrial.

You're right, I don't.

And I don't think it was a fair trial.

The law is the law as you say but that doesn't make it right.

The whole thing was wrong on so many levels but who knows... maybe the jury found him "charming" like you did.


Disgusting.

if you can say you respect the outcome of that trial with a straight face its pretty sad. it was a travesty of the highest order. the color of his skin and his wealth got him off of the murder rap. someone like me in the same circumstances would be rotting away in the pen at this point.

Its interesting that you discuss injustice in regards to our justice system and use a black man as an example of someone exploiting and benefitting from the system.

How many blacks have been tried and WRONGLY persecuted because of the color of their skin?

How was it not a fair trial?

would you if you were him? If you claimed that you were innocent of a crime, were found to be not guilty in a criminal court of law and then ordered to pay money which you could avoid paying, would you pay it?

Please.
