even though the evidence was overwhelming, he was found guilty in a civil trial, has made no restitution as per the civil suit and later co-authored a book talking about "If" he had done it.
Had I been on that jury I would have voted guilty...
Is he an idiot? His actions before, during and since the crime scream "YES"
But...if we incarcerated folks for being idiots....Then there would be no one posting here.
This latest crime is hardly worth a long sentence...but, since he's such a scumbag, who cares?
Our legal system doesn't state that it's ok to "get even" or balance the scales...
But, since he essentially got away with the brutal murdering of 2 people, who cares? What goes around comes around.
So now he can add thief to his growing resume of why he's a piece of s.hit.
I believe there is no higher justice. He literally got away with murder once. He's paying a little restitution back now.
I also believe that it is better to let a guilty man go free than to punish an innocent man...isn't that a cornerstone of our system?
However, nothing about Simpson is innocent and he's getting a small slice of what he should be getting.
I find a lot of joy in this....I find the man pathetic and distasteful, but I don't get how someone could defend Simpson. At some point it's best to step off the soapbox and just let scumbags get what is coming to them, instead of making it about some "cause" no one cares about.

Who cares? I do, you don't...pretty much end of discussion...the old soapbox reference again, but you're standing on one also..."no one cares"...perhaps in your world, in mine a lot of folks do....so, I'm fine with my world, I'm sure you are fine with your's. One point though, I'm not defending Simpson...I find him as pathetic as you do, but the Constitution gives equal rights to all of us...even someone like Simpson.
