As we all so well recall:
The verdict came 13 years to the day after Simpson was cleared of murdering his ex-wife and a friend of hers in Los Angeles in one of the most sensational trials of the 20th century
That jury verdict also made the headlines on my birthday. I like this one better.
From the Associated Press [1]:
LAS VEGAS – O.J. Simpson, who went from American sports idol to celebrity-in-exile after he was acquitted of murder in 1995, was found guilty Friday of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson, 61, could spend the rest of his life in prison. Sentencing was set for Dec. 5.
Simpson 1995 murder victims had names, Nicole Brown Simpson [2]and Ronald Goldman [3]. Now Simpson’s search for the “real killer or killers” will be limited to any golf course Simpson can find in prison.
Addendum:(Bit) Lessee, here. Killed his wife. Issued threats against others. Facing life.
But we all hate him because he’s black.
He’ll be out in 7 years or less. Hmmm?
