Seriously, did anyone expect a different outcome from this "trial?" There is no doubt in my mind that he was really being tried all over again for the murders. I don't know if he did those despicable crimes or not, but I do know that he was found not guilty. This decision did not go down too well with many people. They have never been able to let it go. It's sort of like in the old gangster movies when they were trying to get a certain mobster. Inevitably, if they were not able to get him for one crime they always managed to collar him for something else. That's the American Way. All of that aside, I don't see where this man should probably be locked up for the rest of his life. He was only doing what most people would do in the same situation -trying to get back what belonged to him. I know that many of you won't see things the way I do here, and that's OK with me. I'm just seeing so many things happen almost on a daily basis that make me not so proud to be an American.

I can't judge the man, stephcjh, because I have no inside knowledge as to whether he committed the crime he was accused of or not. I do know that a lot of people like to think he is guilty simply because that is the way they want it to be. He's black, and that's criminal enough for some.

To be quite honest I think O.J. asked for this one. He got aquitted once. Did he honestly think hed get that lucky again? Its not as if the world was behind him. He has been the butt of many bad jokes and innuendos since the trial's verdict thirteen years ago. He's put his poor family, and children thru hell. WHat did he think was going to happen. People have been stabbing him in the back since the first incident. How stupid could he have been to think these guys had his back? I think the judge will give him life just to say he/she was the one to finally get O.J. Lets hope its done for the right reasons. Like that's going to happen. dl
