Leave it to Fox to air this garbage and Judith Regan isn't any better.OJ deserves a real heavyweight interviewer, say George Stephanopolos. ::)
Let's say for a minute that he didn't commit the murders. That's like me writing a book on saying how I would have killed someone in my close family, but didn't. What purpose does this serve? Her family must be livid.During the interview they should ask him with a straight face how the hunt for the real killers is going.
Who cares? Bah!Silly
Doom disapproves.
He is dying to confess. he's overcompensating for the guilt.Can he be tied in to 9/11?

I wonder how his kids are doing? :-\

is there anyone alive who still thinks he's innocent??
Remember back when a lot of people seriously said OJ was innocent?
So you're saying that with time, more evidence has come to light which has caused people who believed the lie to come to their senses and see the obvious?
i don't believe there could be anymore evidence against the man. they had everything possible to convict him short of a video. people just wanted him found not guilty because of all the racial issues brought into the trial by jonnie cochran-lord rest his soul. oj could have confessed and the jury would have said not guilty.
all the racial tension about the trial is gone so i think people just don't care anymore. plus he was found responsible for the deaths in another trial so that may have opened peoples eyes.
So people ignored the physical evidence because of the racial hatred they had? It clouded their ability to see what was clear to everyone else?
10-4
racial hatred might be a strong term, but you are correct sir.
i was watching a brief story about the oj trial on tv last week. they showed the footage of the "black community" cheering when the verdict was read.
it made sick to the pit of my soul to watch that again. just as bad as the day it happened. >:( & :'(

So why did the two whites and one Hispanic on the jury vote to acquit?

I think that very series of events could happen in other things too.
Like, all the physical evidence pointed at OJ. yet because one racial group resented another group so badly, they were able to completely ignore the evidence (he was cut for gods sake, there was goldman's blood everywhere in his car) and actually cheer for a murderer.
With time, though, people were able to 'step back' from the event, and look at facts, look at OJ's behavior afterwards, and quietly realize "shit, maybe he did kill them."
I bet they called white people "racists", "crazy", and other mean names because they were blinded by their hatred for another race, and fear of them as well. As time passed, the evidence remained when the fear and racial resentment subsided.
And it will happen again.
I don't wan tto hijack the thread or anything, but I see some big similarities to the way we were attacked on 9/11.
Because of fear and what some would characterize as our national hatred of Muslims, we have all believed the 'alibi' of the Bush Administration that there was no foreknowledge, no cover-up, and no involvement. The actual evidence - well, most people get so mad at the suggestion that they would rather start a fistfight than watch a documentary showing how the buildings collapsed.
i think in 5 years, when people don't feel the sting of the attacks, and when the wars in iraq and afghanistand are (hopefully) over, people will step back and look at the evidence surrounding 9/11. They certainly will never admit it out loud. But like OJ, they'll quietly realize, feel stupid for a moment, and move on.
did i read you correctly??
you think the government knew about 9/11?? covered it up??
I think we need a second 911 investigation.
i don't take your comment seriously though.
no straight thinking human can honestly believe we knew of the attacks.
Johnny Cochran's dead?
yeah. some kinda inoperable brain tumor i think. few years back. RIP johnny.

The reaction selectively showed by the media was blacks cheering and whites jeering (and crying). The trial and verdict really exposed the race problems that still exist in this country.
At, first, I will admit that I thought he was innocent, I thought his son did it, because his son didn't like Nicole Brown. But then when the 911 tapes came out, I was like, "OJ did it."
But I think the Borwn family is partly responsible for their daughter's death. I remember seeing an interview with the sister and she was crying saying, "OJ had pushed Nicole out of a moving car", and other abuses. If the family all this as going on, why didn't they try to stop it, while she was alive. Well the reason is , they were making mone off of OJ (they owned the Herz rental car biz, I believe), So as long as he was running thur the airport in commercials it was fine, Nicole was the "sacrificial lamb"
Basically they framed a guilty man, botched up evidence, and had a racist cop trying to hit on the black lead singer of Vanity 6 (Vanity). Johnnie Cochran had this case given to him. It all had the makings of a very bad movie.
I believe OJ is guilty as sin, but there was substantial evidence of police misconduct.Police bumbling soiled the evidence.
The most glaring and forgotten evidence was his admission of guilt to Rosey Grier, in prison. Apparently because he was a priest, Grier was never pressured to forgo his credo of discretion.
That wasn't an admission of guilt. Hardly the strongest piece of evidence either.
Absurd. A minister's word as well as that of a guard would have been huge.
I heard various reports of what Simpson allegedly yelled when talking to Grier. I think the judge did the right thing by keeping it out.Given the fact that you're going on hearsay and the established reality that Ito did a poor job, that's pretty lame.

The guard's comments were hearsay. OJ's alleged comments might have been a hearsay exception.
Did I say Ito did a poor job?
I sure hope the same people who refuse to even look at the 911 evidence are getting their panties in a wad over OJ evidence.
Well, perhaps in ten years, here in the general room we'll finally be discussing 9/11 evidence while you refuse to look at whatever major issue is relevant at the time.
Would it be possible to create discrete threads on 9/11 rather than trying to peddle these theories everywhere? Most don't believe or care.
IMO most people who look at the evidence suddenly do care a great deal.Self-delusion. Please try to control the spread of this to every thread it's tired.
No you didn't; maybe you think he did a great job. ;D
Neither a minister's words, or those of a guard, would have been hearsay-they were both there, which is not hearsay.
Their words would have been huge in the court of public opinion.

Hearsay is an out-of-court statement made by someone not testifying at trial. Grier's testimony about what OJ allegedly said outside of court would be hearsay. The guard's testimony about what he allegedly heard Grier and OJ say would be hearsay. There are exceptions, and OJ's comments might fall into one of those exceptions.
I don't think the disputed comments would have impacted public opinion. People are and were already firmly entrenched with their beliefs of guilt or innocence. OJ cannot possibly become any more of a pariah than he is now.
I heard various reports of what Simpson allegedly yelled when talking to Grier. I think the judge did the right thing by keeping it out. The judge should have also kept out the "dream" testimony (OJ allegedly saying he had dreams about killing Nicole).
No, as soon as he ran in the white Bronco nobody thought he was innocent.
No. Some people seriously believed he was innocent. A smaller, even less rational group believes it to this day.
"We hope Ms. Regan takes full accountability for promoting the wrongdoing of criminals and leveraging this forum and the actions of Simpson to commercialize abuse," fumed Nicole Brown's sister Denise Brown.
FOX news agreed to pay him using an offshore account which the Goldmans couldn't touch.
I can't believe it. The long lost media conscience has surfaced. That, or they were afraid of a boycott, loss of income, etc. Show has been cancelled.

why not? they got enough publicity out of the deal.
The media has no conscience.
What’s the big deal here and why the cancellation? Like everything else on TV if you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it. ::)
That's a strange comment. You honestly think this isn't something special (hence the big deal)? And you agree with the way they paid him?
I know nothing of how he was paid. I assume it was the way most celebrities are paid when they work with a ghost writer.
And no, I don't think this is anything special. There are lots of books out there by authors I disapprove of for one reason or another. If I'm not interested I don't buy the book. Likewise for TV; if I'm not interested, I don't watch it.
People in this country get “upset” over OJ’s TV/book deal but they don’t much care about servicemen dying in a unnecessary war that the country was lied into.
This cancelled epiosde is no more objectionable to me than other tasteless grabs at money aired on TV. Remember, Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? That show grabbed tons of viewers and her Playboy issue was one of their bestsellers. People pretended to be "offended" even as they watched and bought it up by the millions. The same thing would have happened with OJs TV special and book.
The world is filled with trash. Putting it out there is not a crime; consuming it is.
I had no interest in reading his book... but now that it has effectively been banned I do want to read it. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
Agreed, there's a lot of smut on tv.
But when you commit a double murder in a gross way, get away with it and end up making millions of dollar out of it, that tops it all.
You think people should consider this as normal? I can see where you're coming from, but this is not the regular lack of taste we're used to. This is disgusting.
All I know, is that if Fred Goldman comes down with some kind of inoperable cancer, OJ'd better watch his ass. I could see him pulling some Charles Bronson-type shit.
