Making money for your family doesn't make up for being an abuser ;)
it is in response to you indicating that it was only oj that was doing the cheating. I was reading the paper and saw this large article with big bold headlines. it could not be missed.

NICOLE TRIED CHEATING ON O.J.September 22, 2007 -- JAMES Woods says Nicole Brown Simpson wanted to have an affair with him behind O.J. Simpson's back and that the couple once seemed to invite him to be part of a threesome.
EWWWW....looks to me like maby Orenthal had the warmies for James. :eek:
Most men would chose a woman for a threesome :biggrin:

martin III don't recall posting that Simpson was the only one cheating even though I think he did a lot more of it than she did. A friend confronted him once and asked him why he was cheating on Nicole. His response was "You don't know what it's like to be OJ".

NICOLE TRIED CHEATING ON O.J.September 22, 2007 -- JAMES Woods says Nicole Brown Simpson wanted to have an affair with him behind O.J. Simpson's back and that the couple once seemed to invite him to be part of a threesome.
The skirt-chasing "Shark" star told Craig Ferguson on "The Late Late Show" he started getting weird vibes from the couple when Simpson invited him to dinner years before Nicole was savagely murdered.
As they sat in a fancy restaurant in Palm Springs and Simpson got into a conversation with Nicole's sister Denise Brown, Nicole began eyeing Woods. "[She was] this curvy, gorgeous blonde . . . and she starts talking to me, and everything is about how she is really not happy with her marriage. I'm going through a divorce at the time, and I'm taking the bait. I guess I'm kind of being set up," Woods recalled.
Later, when he got back to his hotel, Woods said O.J. and Nicole, looking cozy, walked by his room and invited him for a "late-night nightcap" in their suite. "It was very odd," he told Ferguson. "About four days later, I get at my house a letter from her, 'Dear Jimmy,' with a little heart where the 'i" is, [saying] 'O.J. is out of town, maybe you would like to get together.' [I thought], this can't be possible."
Meanwhile, Simpson's recent armed robbery bust in Las Vegas has revealed the extent of the business that has developed over his signed sports memorabilia. While O.J. claims he was simply re-taking possession of collectibles that were rightfully his, the hotel room confrontation sounds more like a scene from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," the classic tale of gold and greed consuming partners who end up killing each other.
Celia Farber, who wrote about "O.J. Incorporated" for Rolling Stone in 2000, reports Simpson had been selling his signature through agent Mike Gilbert since 1989, but the market really took off five years later after the double murder of Nicole and Ron Goldman, when Simpson's autograph quadrupled in value.
Gilbert would sneak items into the courthouse, past the media hordes outside. "We just kept signing . . . for the entire 16 months that O.J. was incarcerated . . . while they were delivering the verdict, we were still signing," Gilbert told Farber.

Okay, so he says he thought 'they' were maybe setting him up for a 'threesome' -- hmmmm -- and then he says it didn't happen. I'm not sure how you made the leap to orenthal wasn't the only one cheating.
Gilbert was on tv the other night talking about orenthal and the memorabilia business they conducted. I think he will turn out to be the most interesting information on/about orenthal out of the whole group when all is said. imo

You should know by now that Orenthal doesn't do anything himself. ;)
ETA: except murder. He did that alone.
I don't think Orenthal is capable of writing a decent note. Ever read the stuff he writes himself? :D
If he didn't murder her, why on earth would he feel the need to trash her? Especially in light of the fact that they have 2 children together. An innocent man wouldn't need or want to do that. imoMaking her into a bad person probably makes him feel more justified in killing her. I'm sure he's found ways to rationalize what he did.

It is better that you respond.
phil spector is a big time famous music celebrity. Big house, Lots of money. kown for partying with young pretty women. He came home with one and he is accused to putting a gun in her mouth and pulling the trigger. For her maby more terrifying a death than Nicoles.
The differance is that in the oj case it was a black guy accused of killing a blond blue eyed white girl. That was not acceptable. Spectors case was white on white.
The media decided that the case that involved race could be sold to the public for interestr and more money.imo
Look at how after 12 years everyone is comming out of the woodwork
to be involved in a simple what is called armed robery in Los Vegas no less.
The media is driving the case.

I totally agree with your assessment of the media. Spector, being somewhat past his prime in the entertainment industry isn't going to garner the ratings as much as showing OJ in the news again or the likes (repeatedly, ad nauseum) of Spears, Lohan, Hilton, etc. Race was injected into OJ's criminal trial by his defense and stuck...through the jury verdict.

"10/18/96 - 07:41 PM ET - Friend of Nicole's tells of O.J.'s threats
NEW YORK - A close friend of Nicole Brown Simpson who has remained loyal to O.J. Simpson said in a deposition that Ms. Simpson once told her of a threat by her former husband.
Cora Fishman quoted Ms. Simpson as saying that Simpson warned, "If I ever see you with another man, I'll kill you," the New York Daily News said Thursday, citing unidentified sources.
Fishman, 41, was questioned privately by attorneys this week in preparation for the trial of a wrongful death suit against Simpson.
Fishman also said Simpson told her in the weeks before the June 12, 1994, killings of Ms. Simpson and friend Ronald Goldman that he was upset at his former wife "because she wouldn't make a commitment to him."
Fishman, who is separated, said she and Simpson are close friends and she brings her daughter to his home to play with his daughter, according to the sources. It was Fishman's husband, Ron, who took videos of Simpson at daughter Sydney's dance recital the day of the killings.
Sources told the News that Simpson, who attended Fishman's deposition, became agitated when she was questioned about reports linking her romantically to Simpson.
Fishman acknowledged accompanying Simpson on an overnight trip to Santa Barbara but said there was no romance. She also denied that hours before the killings she had a falling-out with Ms. Simpson."

They might have created doubt by throwing a bunch of BS out there to distract the jury from the forensic evidence, but they were missing a key element: REASONABLE. The doubt wasn't reasonable.
And the jury was a bunch of freaks.

would you have any comment as to why the Phil Spectror case as horrible as it was, did not get the media coverage 24/7 as the oj criminal trial did.
IMO

Because everyone liked OJ and thought he was a great guy until he murdered two people in front of his children. Spector is a kook and no one even wants to look at him.

Nicole wa gicving him GOOGLE eyey. and then wrote him a note saying oj was out of town ans he should get togeather with her. That speaks to he intantions. Had nothing to do with oj other than he was out of town and would not have known what Nicole was doing.

No, no no, that is not my opinion, :). I think he will never get a fair trial and I am sorry to say that this is probably due to his conduct, the media's and public opinion's bias. I think the opinions on this board say that the presumption of guilt is already at work.William, I think there are people out there that can believe OJS is guilty of murder but still render a fair verdict in this case.

[QUOTE=martin II;8994778]"Nicole Tried to cheat on oj"
Later, when he got back to his hotel, Woods said O.J. and Nicole, looking cozy, walked by his room and invited him for a "late-night nightcap" in their suite. "It was very odd," he told Ferguson. "About four days later, I get at my house a letter from her, 'Dear Jimmy,' with a little heart where the 'i" is, [saying] 'O.J. is out of town, maybe you would like to get together.' [I thought], this can't be possible."
And? We only have his word for this. Unfortunatly Nicole is dead cannot speak for herself. This is like simpson saying she was really into drugs but her autopsy showed different.

My question is, why did simpson not call the police? Next, if all of these people are convicted felons and if simpson is this great upstanding guy why does he associate with these people? I can answer both. He did not want the police called. He said in his own words he set up this" sting". simpson is as bad as they come. He has been breaking the law all of his life and has gotten away with even murder. He thinks he is above the law and up until now he has been. He associates with these people because he is a criminal himself. He could not do illlegal things like the off shore accounts, hiding things from the Browns and Goldmans and ripping off Direct Tv. A thief is a thief.

Looks like Prody doesn't believe in his innocence either. I wonder how the poor girl sleeps at night :(

I think that the statements of the civil jury after the political production speaks volumes as to people's ability to distinquish one trial from another, which is why I say that it will be difficult, if not impossible for Simpson to receive a fair trial. I readily admit that his conduct does not serve him well. I do not know how you get that I mean White people are out to get him, unless you equate that with my use of the term, MOST OF AMERICA. IIRC, Martin has posted the percentages of Blacks and Whites that thougt Simpson was a murder. Those Blacks would be included in my statemets that MOST OF AMERICA thought Simpson was guilty after the criminal trial. I will admit that the percentages Martin posted showed that the vast majority of those Whites interviewed thought Simpson was guilty. I think that people would like to be able to think they could distinquish one trial from another. However, due to his conduct and media's and public opinion's bias, I do believe that MOST OF AMERICA have already convicted him.

Actually time of legal marriage is very short, although were together better than a decade. Lots of people here feel he is guilty. I've got a real problem with the time frame, it really doesn't fit well. Common sense says he did it, and the same common sense should know the time frame is not only tight but odd.

pearyb, to understand the time line you have to understand that estimated times are not real times. It's the order that witnessed events happened in that tell us what Simpson did that night not estimated times. The only real times are times that are supported by telephone records. Common sense does tell us he did it and common sense also tells us when he did it. What do you find odd about the time line?

Many individual Americans and corporations have off shore accounts. I am not sure it is illegal to own one as long as one records the income amount on their U.S. taxes. Oj has no legal responsibility to inform fred of any money he receives. It is freds responsibility to find the money and ask the court to give it to him.

90% + of the coverage by the media is given to charges against oj and interviews of the 'WOODWORK' people from the last trial giving their view that oj was guilty in the criminal trial. Old talking heads are given new opportunities to give opinions on this new case.
I believe if cnn did a poll now, on this case, it would yield the same results
as the poll before the criminal trial. most americans believe oj guilty before this trial. imo

james woods popular actor.
NICOLE TRIED CHEATING ON O.J.September 22, 2007 -- JAMES Woods says Nicole Brown Simpson wanted to have an affair with him behind O.J. Simpson's back and that the couple once seemed to invite him to be part of a threesome.
The skirt-chasing "Shark" star told Craig Ferguson on "The Late Late Show" he started getting weird vibes from the couple when Simpson invited him to dinner years before Nicole was savagely murdered.
As they sat in a fancy restaurant in Palm Springs and Simpson got into a conversation with Nicole's sister Denise Brown, Nicole began eyeing Woods. "[She was] this curvy, gorgeous blonde . . . and she starts talking to me, and everything is about how she is really not happy with her marriage. I'm going through a divorce at the time, and I'm taking the bait. I guess I'm kind of being set up," Woods recalled. *snip*
martin, I didn't twist the meaning or content. It's clearly stated in the article that there were two conversations going on. However, after reading it again, I realized that what JW is saying is that OJS was talking to Denise to give Nicole a chance to flirt with him in order to set him up for the later invitation for a threesome. If Simpson's not in on what Nicole is saying to JW there's no way she could have done that without him overhearing. Hey, I'm starting to believe this story! :D

I think that if there weren't people capable of a fair trial with OJ Simpson then he wouldn't have been aquitted of battery and road rage charges in 2001. In fact, he'd be behind bars and we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.
And yet it remains poor OJ.

SEEMS TO HAVE is a lot different from receiving a letter asking for it when oj was out of town.
Look, i understand how you try to chang the meaning of issues that you dissagree with to have them agree with your opinions. Keep it up as much as you require.
Woods words speak for themselves.
No need to go back and forth with your post on this any more.

She's not wrong. You are the poster that posted it here & seems to take glee in what Woods said about Nicole. However, you seem to insist on ignoring the balance of what Woods said about Orenthal & the threesome.
Relative to the link about Orenthal threatening the gardener, I didn't post it & then argue about what it said or just pick out the parts I liked. That's the difference. ;)

OJ Simpson armed robbery case suspect posts bail in Las Vegas
The final man jailed in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case posted bail, and a lawyer for one his co-defendants asked prosecutors Monday for all materials related to the sports memorabilia heist. Charles Cashmore posted $28,000 bail late Sunday, but remained behind bars at the Clark County Detention Center awaiting assignment to a house arrest case officer, according to a court official and his lawyer, Edward Miley. Cashmore, 40, of Las Vegas, was expected to be freed Tuesday or Wednesday, Miley said. Co-defendant Michael McClinton's lawyer filed documents asking prosecutors to turn over copies of tapes, transcripts and statements of co-defendants involved in the case. "There are multiple conspiracies charged," attorney William Terry said in his request. "The issue arises ... as to the state of mind of each of the alleged participants." A spokesman for Clark County District Attorney David Roger said he could not immediately comment. A Las Vegas police spokesman said the tapes and documents police have collected are evidence and would not be made public.

Not that I personally believe anything that OJ says, but since you hold him in since high regard let's consider the following:
1.)OJ called the police against Prody for supposedly abusing him
2.)OJ called the police against Prody because he claimed she was on an incontrollable cocaine binge
3.) Christie Prody left a dead cat to rot in her apartment
4.) After splitting up for a period of time Christie Prody sold a story to the National Enquirer for $50,000.00 claiming that OJ confessed to the murders.
So if you are so inclined to believe OJ, and I think you are, those are just some of the reasons why Prody is unsavory.

i think it was cora that said nicole told her that. he may have said that but i have no way of kowing if it was said in the same context that nicole said her mother often times told her the very same thing. People use this term a lot in everyday interactions. it is very common.
I believe most of Coras and other friends testimony. I believe some of faye testimony but have to be careful with her as i beleive she will lie as she had a agenda.
I believe the guy that talked to Cora at strabucks and told her that nicole asked him if he did threesomes and he was embarassed at her question.
I believe that Nicole betrayed Marcus Allens wife by carrying on this long term
relationship with him knowing he was married to the woman that had allowed NICOLE to decorate her house.

You said before that she jumped onto his life. You keep saying she brought nothing to the marriage. That's not for you to decide. Obviously, he thought she did because they had a long relationship.
Whether you like it or not she was legally married to him at one time, is the mother of two of his children, and deserved his repect and support. I don't know where this hatred of Nicole comes from. Sometimes I think you hate her more than OJ does.

Nicole brought little education, special skill, work capability or money to this relationship. She did not like the society lifestyle of oj and showed no indicaiton that she was compatable living in the celebrity life that oj had created for himself.

What education did OJ bring to the relationship? Do you think that because he attended college on a football scholarship means that he was knowledgeable?
I'd like to talk about some of the very important things that Nicole brought to their relationship. She was a loving mother and friend to his children Arnelle and Jason, she brought loyalty and warmth and a sense of family to a man who openly admitted to lacking that (OJ), she brought a work ethic that never allowed her to simply lounge around the house and work at her tan but rather ensure that she had full meals on the table for breakfast and dinner for her busy husband and his friends, she brought a special skill of interior design that she used to redecorate many of their friends homes and including their own home. She blessed him with two other beautiful children named sydney and Justin who she was a loving and devoted mother to.
Nicole Brown Simpson took great pains to ensure that she did not lavishly spend their money. She rarely shopped for new clothes, she often times clipped coupons though had to stop because OJ got angry with her for doing so, and the only vehicles she owned were those that OJ bought her as gifts.
How unfortunate that you can look at that and claim that she brought nothing. I truly feel sorry for you because of that.

I am always amazed that when defending the killer one feels the need to bash the mother of his children. I would think, knowing what we know about simpson, that in his warped world he can say these things but since it was his wife he would want to kill those that said such nasty things about HIS WIFE. Perhaps it wouldn't be safe to dis nicole! The killer is capable of turning on those that love him.
By the way, I'm almost done with "the confession of oj". lol
I have never seen such BS. He has nicole as the bad guy all the way through yet he always does the right thing. One thing that I laughed about was his ongoing rant about Nicoles friends and how they were "hookers and criminals", I mean really, has he taken a close look at his buddies? all felons. lol lol Yeah simpson, we believe you. lol lol

She was a loving mother and friend to his children Arnelle and Jason, she brought loyalty and warmth and a sense of family to a man who openly admitted to lacking that (OJ), she brought a work ethic that never allowed her to simply lounge around the house and work at her tan but rather ensure that she had full meals on the table for breakfast and dinner for her busy husband and his friends, she brought a special skill of interior design that she used to redecorate many of their friends homes and including their own home. She blessed him with two other beautiful children named sydney and Justin who she was a loving and devoted mother to.
Nicole Brown Simpson took great pains to ensure that she did not lavishly spend their money. She rarely shopped for new clothes, she often times clipped coupons though had to stop because OJ got angry with her for doing so, and the only vehicles she owned were those that OJ bought her as gifts.
How unfortunate that you can look at that and claim that she brought nothing. I truly feel sorry for you because of that.

What a beautiful, thoughtful post Kate. I couldn't snip a bit of it.

Friend Taped Meetings With Simpson
Plan Didn't Include Guns, but Simpson's Demeanor Changed When They Entered the Hotel Room, Says Tom Riccio
Tom Riccio says he taped a meeting with O.J. Simpson before the confrontation with memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas. (ABC News)
" . . .Tom Riccio says he and Simpson went over details about an hour before the vigilante-style raid and Riccio says he taped his meeting with Simpson — a poor-quality recording acquired by ABC News.
Simpson can be heard saying he wanted to recover his memorabilia in Nevada, away from the family of the murdered Ron Goldman, who have a lien on most of Simpson's earnings.
"I'm going to show up with a bunch of the boys, and take my [expletive] and they can't do nothing about it," Simpson says on the tape. . ."

Riccio
I have wondered since riccio was involved in planning this "caper" from the beginning, would he be considered a acomplish. Riccio rented the room,arranged for the sellers to bring the goods to the room, met oj in the lobby and gave him the room number, went to the room and either left the door open or opened the door for oj and his guys when they arrived.
If Riccio was really oj's friend and had no intention to harm him,why did he immediately sell his illegal recording to tmz for cash to make it public.

the story is that he went down to the lobby and brought them to the room -- guess that would mean he entered the room with them. His story is that they were going there to get the items back -- no indication from orenthal and his 'gang' that there would be guns.

Hey I would have recorded the killer too. You just knew he would go off. The fact us he is obviously very easy to set off. He seems to always have a gun and a threat at the ready. Glad someone had the brains to catch it on tape this time. IMO
Why would riccio want to even be his friend? I think it's great that simpson himself is responsible for taking to the next level. Had he just come in yelling and then left this would have been something for TMZ, however the killer chose to do a "sting operation" with guns and force. That flips it to the criminal justice system.

it is not as if people have never heard the words oj and the other people used and the anger expressed. But in this case since it was oj doing some of the talking it is a chance for some to expressed revulsion at the comments

You consider what down to be merely a heated argument. Interesting. You also claim that we all, as adults, have witnessed a heated argument before and yes indeed I have but not one that included holding individuals at gunpoint and threatening them.

Black opinion of O.J. Simpson shifts
African Americans now more likely to say he murdered ex-wife, her friend

"O.J. Simpson sits on the set of an Internet TV station for an interview about his book, "If I Did It." The controversial book and Simpson's recent arrest on burglary charges in Las Vegas have eaten away at his support in the black community, which had largely rallied around Simpson during his murder trial in 1995."

I think most people understand the anger coming from OJ Simpson because he has always had a sense of entitlement but the rest of what happened is way over the top.

I did read somewhere that the percentage of people that think he's guilty has gone way up since the trials. He can blame that on his self-destructive behavior. Even though he's guilty, the smart thing to do would have been to quietly fade from the public spotlight. IMO, he's addicted to the attention. He's loves being OJ and I think it will be his complete downfall.

I think that you have misunderstood my point. Some seem to take the words uttered on the tape as a sign of Simpson's violent tendencies. I was saying that the words alone do not show his violent nature, as I do not think many of us would act calmly in a situation where our property was stolen from us and was in the hands of the alleged thief, who was in our presence. I think I said it my original posts that I did not approve of the decision but, once it was made, rightly or wrongly, by Simpson or someone else, the time for politeness had passed. One could say that it passed at the time of the original theft.

Speaking of behavior exhibited when trying to retrieve stolen property, I didn't see Fred Goldman going after these very items that were stolen from him by virtue of corralling a bunch of thugs with guns & screaming like a lunatic. Fred did it the right way & handled it through the courts. Then again, Fred Goldman has class & Simpson has none.

What is not known at this time is Riccio's involvement, i.e. what he may or may not have told Simpson and/or the alleged thieves. If I thought that my neighbour was not alone, and did not know whether or not he was connected to the police or others but I was determined to take back my valuable property, I do not know what I would have done. I would like to know more about the situation. However, if I was in the situation where I had the upper hand and that was my property, I would be upset and not my normal kind self. I think we need to find out more before I can answer. What I will say is that being nice and polite was not an option once that plan of action had been undertaken. Weapons were allegedly drawn and not used. Perhaps, if the meeting had been in a remote place, weapons would have been used. Something tells me these particular alleged victims are familiar with guns being pulled on them and the language used. I do not think that this situation is demonstrative or deteminative of a propensity for violence. It is perhaps a ridiculous example of street justice.

Once Simpson started on his ill-advised coarse of action there were too many variables for him to be able to predict what would happen. I believe he may have thought no one would call the police and I'm sure he didn't know he was being taped. He should have learned from the murders that even though you're in physical control you can't control everything.
If he really thought he'd been wronged, and the items were legally his, why didn't he involve the police? Some people say it's because he didn't think the police would do anything to help him. However, that didn't stop him when he called the police on his girlfriend -- the esteemed Ms. Prody. IMO, the answer is because he knew the items could legally be claimed by Mr. Goldman.
I don't agree that this doesn't show a propensity for violent behavior. I'd say this is over-the-line behavior for all law-abiding citizens. I'll agree with your characterizing it as a ridiculous example of street justice but I'll add to that OJ Simpson's sense of entitlement. :)

Did he go into the situation hoping to hide his recovered valuables from the Goldmans, thinking the alleged thieves would not go to the police-probably. Was he led to this course of action-let's wait and see. Did he believe that there was safety in numbers-proably. Did he know that members, who he asked to help him had guns-let's wait and see. Did his use of the language he allegedly used have a pragmatic effect-probably. Did he choose the right course of action, if he chose it-no. Does the language show a propensity to violence, which was the gist of my post-no. I do not know what the murders have to do with this crime, other than it reinforces the belief that he was the murderer, :). This is exactly my point. Some look to lanugage, without considering why the language was use to connect it to the murders, which expresses my concern that he may not get a fair trial on this case.

Does it matter if he knew there were guns in the room? He went along willingly to take back objects that may or may not have belonged to him. In most states the use of a weapon to commit a crime falls on everyone charged with the crime; ignorance, as they say, is no excuse. As far as the language and potential for violence, if I knew Simpson's reputation for violence (as well as that of the other men, since apparently they all knew each other) I'd be doing and saying everything I could to defuse the situation, which is apparently what the accusers were doing.

riccio gave him a written list of his goods that he said would be in the room so oj had a reason to expect that they would be there. I don't think he knew anyone would bring a gun but since he was with them it may not matter.
I read this account
oj asked two people to help him carry the goods from the room. These two later informed him they were running late or may not make it. so oj asked two guys at the weeding party and they agreed. when oj and last two guys arrived in the parking lot of the hotel, the original two that was running last.
This is how the number went from two guys to four.
What i don't know is oj being heard on the tape saying "no one leaves the room" equals to kidnapping when challanged.
What i am currently thinking about is the initial media reports that P Spector had put a gun to this womans mouth and pulled the trigger. i thought guilty. i did not have the details and had not heard the defense presentation.
now the prosecution could not convince the jury that he did what he was charged with.
so we will have to wait and see in this new case imo.

it is my understanding that on that evening sydney wanted to go to some party and oj had said no and she became upset.I think it happens frequently with some teenagers since most know thay can call le and complain against their parents for what they believe is important.

I think that you have misunderstood my point. Some seem to take the words uttered on the tape as a sign of Simpson's violent tendencies. I was saying that the words alone do not show his violent nature, as I do not think many of us would act calmly in a situation where our property was stolen from us and was in the hands of the alleged thief, who was in our presence. I think I said it my original posts that I did not approve of the decision but, once it was made, rightly or wrongly, by Simpson or someone else, the time for politeness had passed. One could say that it passed at the time of the original theft.
William
No William, in your original post you did not say that you did not approve but rather you said "I am not saying Simpson was right in the manner he handled the situation."
What that says to me is that you're not saying that it was right but you're not saying that it's wrong either.
His words alone aren't what we're all fussing about here either William. We're talking about holding human beings at gunpoint and threatening their well being. That is violent, and I'm astounded that you could believ otherwise.

I myself have on occasion verbally gone off when I felt I was being used, taken advantage of, or in the case of OJ his property being sold for profit by his friends.
Would my shouting at thieves make me a vicious murderer, capable of anything after I was acquitted of a crime?
Next time you lose it and start shouting, remember we are all vulnerable human beings and have emotions and react to situations because of these emotions! For instance, emotions on these boards for people we will never personally know!
Well huh - do you act like you're gonna shoot them too if they don't cooperate?

Curse words alone don't prove a violent nature but when the words order people not to leave a room they become violent. You say the time for politeness passed at the time of the original theft. It was my understanding the items were taken at Simpson's request to keep Fred Goldman from getting them which, if true, makes him the original thief.

Most teenagers don't call the police sobbing because their parent is a **@##@# who doesn't love them & considers them verbally abusive.

I will only say that I do not know why the items were originally stolen or who stole them. I think that in the event of a trial this will all come out. I am saying that once Simpson was told where his items were and whoever told him where the people were and may or may not have suggested to Simpson that this was an opportune time to retrieve his property or the Goldman's property that the time for politely asking someone to give back the property or even suggesting that they were free to leave the room until the all property was taken back defies logical interpretation, imho. I do not see the words, which was my original response, as proof of his violent nature given the alleged circumstances surrounding the event. I still disaprove of the decision taken. Where the actions taken stupid and uncalled for-yes. Do the words he spoke show a propensity for violence under the alleged circumstances of property theft-I do not think so but they do show an intent to get the property back. I guess its true that politics make strange bed-fellows.

IMO, whenever you go into a situation infuriated, with reinforcements and guns, anything can be expected to happen. Once Simpson started on his ill-advised coarse of action there were too many variables for him to be able to predict what would happen. I believe he may have thought no one would call the police and I'm sure he didn't know he was being taped. He should have learned from the murders that even though you're in physical control you can't control everything.
If he really thought he'd been wronged, and the items were legally his, why didn't he involve the police? Some people say it's because he didn't think the police would do anything to help him. However, that didn't stop him when he called the police on his girlfriend -- the esteemed Ms. Prody. IMO, the answer is because he knew the items could legally be claimed by Mr. Goldman.
I don't agree that this doesn't show a propensity for violent behavior. I'd say this is over-the-line behavior for all law-abiding citizens. I'll agree with your characterizing it as a ridiculous example of street justice but I'll add to that OJ Simpson's sense of entitlement. :)

I think there will more than likely be a trial. However, nothing in what was assumed by some on this board to be an open and shut case as to Simpson's guilt surprises me. I see the ordering of people to move to the wall and the taking away of cell phones, as a means of self protection and a way not to have a situation esculate into extreme violence. In fact, speaking as an aspiring lawyer, one may say that Simpson took steps to minimize the violence. I wonder, if Simpson had police training or did he learn these procedures in movie roles where he played police officers, :).

I related a person incident in which plain clothes police stuck a gun to my head after forcing me to the ground and then asked me where the gun was. I told them it was pointed to my head. After verifying my story and searching me, one of the officers tried to say he could arrest me for vagrancy. I had enough knowledge of the law at that time to know he could not and explained it to him. While the officers discontinued their assault, not one of them apologized for their behavior, go figure.

I was asking you what damage, i.e. harm was done to individuals, since it was said that Simpson murdered two people, even though he was acquitted of those charges, and not what LE charge him with, since he had been proven not guilty of the murder charges, which means that the charges have nothing to do with the damage unless the evidence can prove damage.

At any rate i think both were surprised that they were treated kindly. I had a big laugh when i heard one guy sitting on the bed next to oj's stuff and asked
"oj we good right" Talking about a a** kisser.
On review, oj handeled himself quite well. Some people may not have heard cuss words before and see this as extreme behavior.

I remain convinced that a person deserves to be presumed, even labled, innocent until proven guilty. In a trial, the burden of proof is divided into the burden of production and the burden of persuassion. Judging from what I saw of the criminal trial, it was one that never shoud have been .

You think people have prejudged OJ Simpson's actions and role in this incident yet you are ready to jump on the idea idea that the victims obtained the goods illegally just because Simpson says so. If he asked that the items to be removed from his home to keep Fred Goldman from getting them then they weren't stolen.

Tv,
I took the post to be speaking of the prosecutorial farce that was displayed. I think the posters remarks could have been made in regard to the public outcry over the verdict. To me the trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, as the prosecution did not meet its burden of production or persuassion, imho. It is amaziing that those on the loosing side seemed to have prospered so much, through books, tv appearances, and tv positions. No, I am not making fun of your nic.:), just tired of typing homework, today.

A judge decided that the People of CA had enough evidence to try OJ Simpson for the murders. By your statement it appears that you think any trial that results in a not guilty verdict is a waste of time and money. Very interesting position.
As for the money-making in the aftermath of the trial, that's a sign of the times as evidenced by other celebrity cases in the news. For the record, I'm not including the Goldman and Brown families in that assessment.

No one knows if the thiefs had a gun and was not able to show it as the event only lasted a few minutes and they were outnumberd . Considering the history of the thiefs it is not unthinkable that one may have had a gun to protect the goods they were illegally selling. i am sure they would not have volunteered to admit this to le after everything was over and if they did not have the chance to pull one out, we do not know if they had one.Period.

yes, that judge did decide that but I do not think JC was actively involved in the case at that time, which does not mean that the judge would not have found there was enough evidence for a trial if he was. I think the judge would rue the decision he made, if he watched the way the prosecution presented the evidence and tried to persuade the jury. I did not include the families in my statement either.
As for the knit cap, I think it showed the ridiculousness of the prosecution's assertion that Simpson wore it as a disguise. I found it to be a comical yet effective demonstrative illustration of that ridiculous assertion.
