What did you think when OJ Simpson was accused of murdering his wife?  |
|
I watched the whole thing from the chase of the white SUV to the end when the jury said he was not guilty. I don't think I ever got into anything the way I did that whole story. Never being into football the fact that he was a famous football player had nothing to do with the way I felt about it or my curiosity. At one point when he was in jail during the trial I even wrote to him and received a hand written reply back. After reading everything I could on all the circumstances I was convinced that he didn't do it and was set up. A lot of people got and still get mad at me for feeling the way I do but I stick by my thoughts that he was innocent.
What did you think about the whole thing? Do you think OJ killed his wife and Ron Goldman? My question is why would he have killed Goldman?

1. zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | I dont know if he himself did it or not but I think he had something to do with it. Why else would he run from the cops? innocent people dont do stuff like that if he had nothing to hide he would have not run And of course he is going to put as much "evidence" out there tp try to prove his innocence but honestly i dont buy it

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I think he ran because he knew he would be the first one the cops would come after since their marriage was such a bad one.

2. raychill (3493) | 2 years ago | You're not in my writing class at school now are you? We have a persuasive paper to write for our final project and we have to take a well known case and defend our viewpoint on it.
OJ is one of our case choices. and I refuse to do that one.
I was in like 7th grade or maybe 8th grade when this all went down. I remember watching the trial on TV and you know what...it's not my life. I didn't care then and I don't care now.

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | lol...no I'm not in your class! A lot of people feel the same way you do and don't care especially now that it's over and done with. I do think that people are hoping he will get in trouble for something else just to pay for the murders.

raychill (3493) | 2 years ago | Ha ha.
Yeah well there was that Vegas Robbery incident not too long ago that I don't know what came of that.
When the verdict was given I remember we were in English class and my teacher had borrowed a TV to watch the trial on TV. I remember that the verdict was Not guilty and all these students in my class were all mad (mind you I was in 7th or 8th grade or something) and I was just like "okay whatever". and I remember this guy I had once had a crush on asking me if I was mad about the verdict and I said "no" and he was like "why not? You think he was innocent" and I was like "well the verdict was not guilty and I think if that's the verdict given than that's what I think is the true verdict".
Now, even then I knew that the verdicts aren't always right. They have let guilty people free and incriminated innocent people... but I wasn't on that jury and I didn't think it was my place to make a decision in the matter.

3. slickcut (6004) | 2 years ago | My honest opinion is yes he is guilty as sin,he killed his wife and Goldman, the reason he killed Goldman is because he was there when he killed his wife.i do not think he set out to kill Goldman,but after he was there at the house he had no choice....I do not know if OJ did it himself or had it done but my gut feeling is "He Did IT""" either way he's guilty..He is an abusive man to all of his women,he has always been abusive...He was even abusive to all his girl friends before his marriage and after...His latest girl friend left him because he was abusive...The only thing that got that man off was he had money to hire that "Dream Team" and they were able to get him off, ONLY because the police made a few mistakes, which was unfortunate, but it worked in his favor....Ron Goldman had come to OJ's home to bring his wife her glasses back that she left at the place she was eating dinner..He will pay one of these days for his dirty deeds, you can bet on that.he lost a lot anyway, he is not liked and not popular as he once was...

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I just think that he could have waited for Goldman to leave before killing Nicole. Why would he bother killing him? It would just keep him there longer than if he just killed one of them.

4. Debs_place (6721) | 2 years ago | I started watching the chase and just could not stand the excitement, I fell asleep. I don't know if he did it, we will never know. I just get turned off by all of the celebrity excitement that the news media tries to generate. I don't pay attention to any of it.

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I never get into all of that media stuff and can't even say why I got into this as much as I did.... but I did and it's something that I can't forget. Since this happened I haven't paid attention to any of the other celebrity stuff that goes on....Brittany who? lol

5. OreoCookie3 (18244) | 2 years ago | If his wife was having an affair with Goldman that would have been reason to kill them both. And maybe it was done to throw the police off track. Considering all the trouble he has been in since then and the book he wrote about If he did it.. is almost like thumbing his nose up at the cops because he can't be tried again for double jeopardy.
For an innocent man he gave the police a good chase too. It seems to me that anyone who is a public figure gets off, and if a poor man had been charged with the same crime he would be in prison right now and not a free man like OJ. Money talks and OJ walks.

oneandonemakesix (24038) | 2 years ago | Oreo,
Keep in mind he did not write that book, he contributed to one chapter, but its supposedly a work of fiction, he wanted it for 'blood money' for his kids, now its in the hands of the Goldman's.....In which it has become a best seller, not that I would buy it.
No matter what Oreo remember one day OJ will have to answer for his crimes and actions.
Mooch

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I believe he from the police because he knew he would be the first one they would suspect. As for Goldman I don't think he thought they were having an affair at all.

6. oneandonemakesix (24038) | 2 years ago | Dear Ctry,
I don't know if OJ killed his wife and Ron Goldman, but there was very very possibly evidence that was overlooked in the case, and there is speculation that they glove may have shrunk with the blood and all, but I honestly can not say.
He might have, he might have not.
Here's my take on the situation...
He was acquitted of the murders, but he was found that he could have been responsible in a civil suit.
All said and done, the Goldman's have a vicious vendetta against Simpson, and will do anything they can to make his life miserable to include set him up for burglary and get him sent to prison for any lessor crime.
Ok but guilty or not, I can not judge him, he will face the ultimate judgment when he dies, God, for his actions, and at that time he will have to answer to God for his guilt or part in their murders if he is guilty.
Mooch

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I do agree with you there....IF he is guilty he will pay for it when/if he faces his maker.

7. dianel (4592) | 2 years ago | OJ killed his wife. As far as why did he kill Ron, well he was seeing her and he was in the wrong place and the wrong time. That means he could have identified OJ so he had to kill him too. What goes around comes around, he will be in prison soon where he belongs.
| |

|
|
ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I don't think Nicole was actually dating Ron but you are right about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

8. SuzyPuppyChese (567) | 2 years ago | What bothered me is that the jury did not take the time to deliberate. There is no way they reviewed the evidence in that case and then came back with a verdict that quickly. It left lingering doubts in my mind.
| |
| |
|
|
ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | I think the evidence on OJ's side was so cut and dried that the jury didn't need time to deliberate. They agreed from the beginning that he was innocent and didn't need to get into anything else.

9. worldwise1 (6094) | 2 years ago | I think that 90% of the people in the country were caught up in all the drama surrounding the OJ incident, ctry. I did what I usually try to do in questionable circumstances-weighed all the evidence. I have never believed that he did it, and I also think there was much more to the case than we will ever know. He evidently was disliked by many people-for whatever reasons-and that is no reason to take away a man's livelihood. It was eye-opening to watch as people he had considered to be friends turned on him, one by one. I'll always believe he was set up, and, for some reason, could not come out with the truth. There were so many holes in the case that it looked like Swiss cheese by the end. I followed his career to some extent while he was a football player, sports announcer, and later, an actor. Many people accused him of being arrogant. That is possibly true, but it's not a crime. There was also a lot of dislike for him in the black community for marrying out of his race. As I pointed out to many people, he wasn't the first, and he won't be the last to do that.

ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | Are we cut from the same cloth or what? lol. Everything you say is true. People were against him for so many other things but mostly his arrogance and marrying out of his race. I too believe that he was set up and the real murderer or murderers have gotten away with it just like people feel he got away with it.

10. lightningd (738) | 2 years ago | Honnestly, I don't think he did it. I didn't understand the whole car chase thing, but stuff just didn't add up to me. What I found interesting is that some people I know that were sure he was guilty were also sure that Scott Peterson was innocent. Funny how some people view things one way, and some another. The thing that bothers me most is that Nicole and Goldman's families were able to win in civil court when he was found innocent in the trial.
That in itself is wrong to me. If you are found innocent, how can they come back and say, "well, you're going to pay for it anyway."

|
|
ctrymuziklvr (4677) | 2 years ago | That's the way our judicial system works and it's wrong isn't it? I believe he ran from the cops because he knew he would be a suspect because of their rocky marriage. They always turn to the husband first.
