AzShooter Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 O.J.'s been living the leisure life for too long if he really did kill his ex and her boyfriend. But that's another story. At least this time they were able to have an honest trial and find him guilty of all crimes commited. He may get from 15 years to life. Probably won't get that much but I'm glad they at least say he is guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdstihl Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 With the evidence as presented at his murder trial, they really couldn't find him guilty, imho. This time they had a good case and presented it well. That being said, I can't help feeling... not sad, but disgusted, I guess... at watching someone self-destruct.

davidwiz Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Perhaps now he will be able to continue his search for the "real killers", this time looking in the Nevada jail system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I wonder if he'll get out on bail during his appeal? Wouldn't be surprise if he flees the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's nice to see that there is still some justice in the world. He was found guilty in this instance and will now have to pay the piper. It will be interesting to see what length of sentence he receives and where he gets to do his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neomet Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 He won't get out on bail and faces a minimum of two years behind bars. I am curious as to where they are going to make him serve time. I'm thinking less Martha Stewart Country Club "detention facility" and more Charlie Manson "I'll be selling your ass for a pack of smokes" dungeon. Assuming of course the conviction does not get overturned on appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there is the question about the per capita incarceration rate in the US compared to anywhere else , the highest in the world - for another thread, I suppose.

uscbigdawg Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Well...I see this different than most. Whether he actually did kill is ex or not, he stood his day in court and was found not guilty. Given how unpopular that was, could he ever really get a fair trial ever again? Probably not. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if an appeal comes down with this exact argument, especially given the jury make up in this case. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) And right on cue, the jurors have come out and said that they had a bias in place. Mistrial/an appeal is eminent.Rich With his history I doubt there is a man or woman in the US that would be truly unbiased. In this case I would make the argument that no jury pool would not have bias and therefore the verdict should be upheld. The appeal was always going to happen, but I don't think it will be granted, and even if it is, refer to first sentence. He's doing time, one can only hope he "falls" a lot while in stir.

uscbigdawg Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Regardless of what we think of the first verdict (and without going in to details, I have my own insight on events), he IS entitled to his right to a fair trial from an unbiased jury. I'm sure we would want the same thing for someone (anyone) standing before a judge & jury for anything firearms related. He is due the same. I agree that there is little chance of ever having an unbiased jury, but that's not his fault. That is ours as a society and again, right or wrong, he is entitled to a fair trial. And for those that ask if I would feel the same way about anything related to someone comitting a crime against me or a family member...yes I would, 'cause I've been there.

davidwiz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 And right on cue, the jurors have come out and said that they had a bias in place. Mistrial/an appeal is eminent. What bias? The jurors said that they discounted the witness testimony and relied upon the other evidence, such as the tape recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Can't remember where I read it, but 2-3 of the jurors were interviewed and stated that the decision in '96 was a factor in their decision making. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Nothing like losing the integrity of our judicial system. Juror questionaires, interviews last week and this week have stated that facts and testimonies provided in this case would almost be immaterial as in their view, the not guilty finding in '96 overrides their decision and that they were looking to make up for that decision. Again, putting aside what we feel...EVERYONE in this country, that's lawfully here, is entitled to a fair trial by the same Constitution that grants our right to own firearms and defend ourselves.

Tin Can Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I watched the jury interiew yesterday and NOT one person said that anyone based thier decision on the 95 trial. Kidnapping and armed robbery are not contry club offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
