I need to take a few days and rest up from some health related issues.

Be back soon.

Some OJ thoughts.

First, the past.  Great athlete, OK actor.  Whoopee.

The infamy:  Did he kill his wife?  Honestly I don’t know, even if It seems likely.  First of all, from a legal perspective, he was found not guilty.  And while many believe that was a failure of the system, I do not.  The reason?  Our legal system is dedicated to the premise that it is better to let the guilty go free then convict the innocent, and the fact is there was some reasonable doubt in his case.

While the evidence was pretty damning, some was circumstantial, and some was tainted.  Dusty Laker in this column saw many of the flaws in the case I did.

He saw as I did all the grand screw ups by the LA PD.  He saw blood evidence in peoples pockets and some missing.  He saw blood then magically appear where no one saw it before.  He didn’t mention the Bronco that was impounded, sat for  3 weeks and was broken into in the impound lot.

He saw a racist cop witness who admitted to disliking OJ personally. 

Add all of the evidence up and it becomes reasonable doubt.  The Defense saw and they used it as they are supposed to.  OJ’s verdict was justice in that our system took its shot and failed, but it failed because of the flaws in the prosecution.  It sucks.  But case closed.

The Families sued and got a bunch o money, which was as we all know, the worlds way of saying “sorry the LA PD was inept”.

So OJ uses the system again, and files bankruptcy.  Poor OK, he loses a bunch of stuff, but they can’t touch his 40 grand a month pension.  Poor guy, living  on just 40 grand a month.

So now he is in jail having been accused of robbery.  What a fool.  He was living well on what most of us would dream of.  All he has to do is keep his head down and fade away.  Nope.  He is interviewing, doing video games, writing books, one of which was the most idiotic book EVER, and now running around in Vegas playing mafia or something.
