Of course the civil trial's outcome is a different issue.


:D

I think very few people know the difference between a crime and a tort. What many saw is that ultimately, OJ did it and is supposed to pay up to the victim's families.
 
He went there, with guns. He forgot and left his common sense back in his own hotel room.

If you know there are guys in a hotel room sitting on your stuff that they sole why not just have three friends go there and look, leave then call the cops.

I think the problem OJ had with calling the cops was the law suit. He knew if he found that stuff he couldn't keep it. So he had to take it back himself. So in a way this whole thing really is about the murder. It was his loss at the civil trial that set him up for this. With the judgment against him he could only get this stuff be going around the law.

Ok still it was a stupid plan. The thing is that each of us are good are one or maybe two things OJ was good at football. Not good at things like self control, common sense and thinking. If you are good at something many times it's at the expense of something else.
 
i don't read all of your commentary...but number one: OJ DID NOT COMMITT THE MURDERS OF HIS SLUTTY WIFE AND THAT PIMP SLOP KID WHO WAS DEALING BIG TIME IN COKE ETC AND OJ'S WIFE JOINED IN.....OJ NEVER HAD ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTACT WITH THIS. IT CAME TO A POINT THAT APPARENTLY THOSE COLUMBIAN (etc) THAT WERE SUPPLYING THIS PIMP GOLDMAN (GOLDMEN?) WITH HIS DOPE DISCOVERED THAT THIS PIMP SH%TH%&D HAD BEEN OR INTENDED TO RIP THESE GUYS OUT....IN THE MEANTIME OJ AT ONE POINT FINALLY HIRED A TOP PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR...THIS GUY DISCOVERED WHAT WAS GONG TO HAPPEN AND THAT DAY THIS PI AND OJ HIDE THEMSELVES ACROSS THE STREET BUT HAD A FULL VIEW OF THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE....WHEN THIS PUNK GOLDMAN AND IN FRONT OF HIM OJ'S WIFE CAME OUT THEY WERE JUMPED AND THEY ALMOST LITERALLY SLICED HER HEAD OFF AT THE THROAT AND THEN KILLED THE PUNK GOLDMAN ALSO.......AND THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE HALF OR MORE OF ALL THOSE WHO WERE PROSECUTING OJ HAD A SLICE OF THE DOPE/COKE/HERION/ETC "PIE" THAT WAS SUPPLYING A LARGE SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION OUT THERE--OH AND EVEN THE JUDGE AND THE PROSECUTOR HAD SMALL SLICES TOO!
ITS PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS THAT ALL OF THESE BASTARDS THAT HAD A SLICE OF THE DOPE PIE THAT OJ SAW...HE WAS THERE THAT MORNING AND SAW HIS WIFE'S THROAT SLIT...ETC....BUT ALL THESE OTHERS WHOM IT WAS OPENLY KNOWN WERE INVOLVED IN THAT DOPE TRADE GOING ON INCLUDING THE COPS WHO LET IT PASS..AND OF COURSE YOU HAD THE GRINGO AND BASTA FRINGE ELEMENTS THAT DIDN'T EITHER PAY THE "STREET TAX" TO THIS MAIN GROUP OR TRIED TO MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN THE COPS BUSTED THESE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE "FIGHTING THE WAR ON DRUGS"

This same BS happens everywhere especially in the big cities like LA etc, like how business as usual goes on in Chicago---where those at the top are who live in their palaces on the north shore around NorthWestern University etc and they hire a main black gang and a main latino gang to handle and bring up the dope..but whats happening now is that outsiders are moving in and trying to take over the drug turfs of the former owners and they have already made their arrangements with the cream on the top of the milk bottle who have had the dope business money support and supply many things--ask Emmaneul about all that fun.

What OJ did was try to scare these bums who stole his rightfully owned property except he didn't have anyone on his payroll who would intercede on his behalf and spread a few envelops around...this business of sports objects being sold is tricky: many are outright fakes, some are stolen in isolated burglaries, and a few are the real thing...these Vegas sewer rats carrying out this frameup job on OJ are doing so on behalf of those who got a bigger pot of money added with the Goldmans and they bought them all off.....

OJ could have told the world what he really saw that day, even with pictures and/or film and he could have also exposed the drug network that led throughout the halls of California---but he also knew that within that same day no matter what he did his kids would be killed!

While I don't agree with your theory, some in law school I have talked to believe this story or one similar to it, but leaving out drug cartels and implicating LAPD directly.

Looking at both sides, I do admit LAPD were not in their golden years around the time of the murder, and it was somewhat more akin to "Mulholland Falls". There seems to be too much circumstantial evidence against OJ and I don't think even the LAPD could frame anybody that well. The physical evidence either was not there BRD (beyond a reasonable doubt), or the LAPD didn't get the physical evidence together enough to make a BRD case. A guilty verdict cannot be reached when all the elements of a crime(s) are not proved BRD.

As for the civil case against OJ on the same facts, the prosecution only has to prove on a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) that OJ did it, and under that more lenient standard, he was found liable.

These are in the historical fact of OJ's previous run ins with the law, but he has little defense on this latest trial. If you want your stuff back, do not use deadly force, or basically, don't bring a gun to a knife fight because the courts will jack you on that one, regardless of who was right or wrong in the beginning.
