Finally this man is getting what he deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read that on the wires. Missed most of the trial testimony of course, including the closing arguments. One quote from Simpson's lead attorney did make me wonder. During his closing, he apparently said that what Simpson did to recover his property was not right, "but being stupid, and being frustrated is not being a criminal." How many thousands of inmates today do you suppose are serving time at least in part because they were stupid and/or frustrated?

Exactly what I thought too. OJ just can't afford those top-notch lawyers any more, can he?

I have to agree, being stupid and being frustrated is certainly not being a criminal. I'm a prime example of that! But being stupid and being frustrated and committing a criminal act is probably being a criminal, most places you go!

I knew OJ would get into some sort of trouble. I figured his ego got a big boost after the first trial and it was only a matter of time before that over-sized ego led to his down fall. You reap what you sow.

I feel sorry for OJ. I really do. I'm just kidding!

Irony: October 3rd, 1995 OJ Simpson was acquitted on charges of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman......October 3rd, 2008 OJ Simpson convicted of all 12 charges held against him.....13 years to the day. I wonder if OJ ever believed in superstition?

I'll bet he does now. Thirteen years to the day. Ahh, sweet poetic justice!

This reminds me a bit of Lizzie- if she did it- and had these bad habits that kept her in the newspapers. If she was guilty of the murders, and got away with it--and rationalized her motive, and felt entitled, and did not move from Fall River when she could have-- it could lead one to think she preferred being notorious than to not be known at all!

The psychological angle actually makes perfect sense, even with what little evidence we have.
