Excuse the bad pun, but O.J. Simpson just ran out of juice. The jury in his armed robbery trial found him guilty on all 12 counts — including conspiracy to commit robbery and kidnapping, burglary, assault and coercion. He could face life in prison when he’s sentenced on Dec. 5.
Denied bail, court officers wasted no time in handcuffing the Hall of FameShame inductee (again, sorry!) after the verdict was read. His sister, Carmelita Durio, fainted as he was being led out of the courtroom and paramedics rushed to revive her.
The most striking detail of the verdict is that it came 13 years to the day after the former MVP (Most Valuable Prisoner? Help! It won’t stop!) was acquitted in the murder of his ex-wife. We suspect people who believe O.J. got away with murder back in 1995 are talking about how “payback is a bitch” today.
The gridiron great is now behind iron bars. O.J. should dust off those running back skills in case he drops a bar of soap in the prison shower. (Forgive us! We can’t help it!)

Do you have to be so rude everytime a black person has something happen then it is a parade in media other bigger issues go on the low while we are in 700 billion dollars debt who is behind that scandal, why aren’t people in court being charged and they wanted to put the price tag on civilians to pay the debt! Wow! Personally I don’t think OJ is wrong for wanting his personal belongings back maybe could have did it more different but it goes with who you surround yourself with too. I don’t think this is funny it is injustice in it’s entirety and a pay back it is what it is!

Arnelle keep your head up your your Dads oldest daughter don’t let his legacy die he is not an EX-STAR-EX-LEGEND or any of that. When he was running through those airports for Hertz rent a car everyone white and black wanted to meet him, when he was making history everyone wanted to be like him. He is a living legend and sweetie this too shall pass Arnelle be strong!

OJ you are a legend and a strong Black man, you broke records, made deals and moves no man will ever make in this life. Injustice has hit all of our doors black families, hispanics, and it’s not fair when they know it is injustice and charge you anyway. This country is in big debt and no one is accountable there they wanted Americans to pay the debt who stole the money, why aren’t they on trail, where is the American citizens money and why do they want us to pay it back. But you know what every man has to answer to God whether they want to or not, it is no way around the real judge. The can take if for foolishness, hear say or all of that but in the end it is appointed to men to die once after this comes the judgement. I looked on in total dismay and man my heart hurt for you, and your family. Them people just wanted to pay you back because when your black sweetie it’s like that but now it is in Gods hand for their judgement so that is what they have to live with. I love you much OJ you would have helped anyone conquer the world including me if they wanted to. God bless and keep your head HIGH UP!

let none of us forget, justice is justice, and justice is blind. if you can walk away from slaughtering your wife because justice is blind and the rules are the rules . then if you are found guilty you are guilty. He deserves everything that comes ti him. guilty before , guilty now. Just a pity life can go so wrong….

They have been gunning for O.J. ever since 1994! He is innocent and they know it. To the author of the piece, your article is rude and insensitive. Your journalistic style is juvenile at best.
To O.J. and his family, please keep your head up and stay strong.

OJ should have been the happiest man on the universe when he was found innocent of the brutal murders of Nicole and Ron. He received a second chance and what did he do with it? He used it to do drugs, #@%#))%+`#)#*$@ ociate with the wrong people, wrote a book about the infamous murders in great detail! He said that it was just fiction, but we are not stupid! There are alot of people who are in denial about the so called verdict in the murders that happened in 1992! How many of you would have thought differently if the shoe was on the other foot? Simpson left his DNA at the murder site, the DNA of the victim’s in his own driveway, no alibi, a fresh cut on his finger, history of violence with the ex-wife, ect. You are telling me that the LAPD planted the blood, knew about the cut on this finger, knew of no alibi, etc. That makes them look superior! Maybe the CIA was involved. I have read some good books about the case against him, one being a book by an author who was on the defense side! Simpson’s own defense team thought he was guilty of the murders! The only one who thought he was 100 percent innocent was Bailey! When you use firearms to go to a room and take property (even if it is yours), it’s against the law! This man got away with the perfect murder and got a second chance and screwed that up!!!!! Was there some payback, maybe!

Arnelle Simpson you very pretty young may god bless you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that son of a ^(!#~#(~#&()($$&& got what he deserved.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
its about time he is put in jail he has gotten away with so much stuff im ssssooooo happy he got what he deserved!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
I would imagine that many people are very happy now. I don’t know about the first trial because I was very young, but this time, he was surely set up. The one thing I think Oj should have done differently was get out of the lime light once he was acquitted. Robert Blake did, and he surely killed Bonnie Blakely. You know, it’s funny, we don’t here that much about that? why? is it because OJ was a black man? and the victims were white? I feel really bad for OJ now because maybe this time, he won’t be released, and able to go and play golf.

O.J. was a good lawyer and now he is behind bars do we realy need to believe he was guilty or was it the racism in action, com’on we all know what America is capable of when it comes to racism. Believing that O.J. was guilty on his charges i doubt it is possible
October 14th, 2008 at 10:29 am
America forgot to amend this rule “if you black you rot in jail” i personally think the UN should do something abt racism IN AMERICA they think they can run this world in what ever they feel .Nobody can’t see that the brother was black mailed
