That advice may have worked in a different era.

Not anymore.

Remember watching that low speed Bronco chase live on TV ....just like it was yesterday....

I couldn't believe he got aquitted...."if it doesn't fit, you must aquit" ....
where I worked back in October 1995, some co-workers actually cheered the decision

We were watching the TV at work as the verdict came in, were all shocked. Looking at each other dumbfounded. The rest of the day was somber.

That was such a joke. I can take any of the gloves I've acquired after years of motorcycle riding that fit well, contort my fingers, and make it appear as if they don't fit. I was shocked at the time that the prosecution didn't demonstrate that to the jury.

For OJ I say R.I.S.--rest in the shame you brought upon yourself.

Now who is going to find the REAL killer of Nicole and Ron Goldman? I know OJ spent his final years in that quest - is anyone else looking?

He must have been doing some deep detective work at the golf course and pool.
And bars in Vegas.

IF there is, they would've been lonely even while OJ was still breathing.

Gee, thanks OJ for bringing the Kardashians into the spotlight.

They just showed a clip of the cheering section in the courtroom when the verdict was announced, that's what truly shocked me.

I may be wrong, but to me O.J. was another spoiled celebrity who thought he could do anything he wanted. We see that so much in the celebrity -- and especially sports -- world.
