Mayhaps you read a different news story than I did, but I seem to recall he was found guilty.

Care to provide a link to the news that says he was found innocent?

Like OJ he was found guilty by the media , and the court of public opinon before the legal system found him guilty. He didn't have a race card to play.
Personally I think he, and OJ should be cell mates.

Mine do. When I spread my fingers my palm expands all the way to my wrist. I can easily stretch a golf or raquetball glove by spreading my fingers.

So, you're saying the media and public opinion always get it right and that it's the justice system that's vulnerable to manipulation?  Ok, thanks for clarifying!

22, Nov. 1963...I was in the 5th grade when over the schools PA it was announced the Pres. Kennedy had been assassinated. Just before the morning recess, nobody played that day. I remember the silence in the playground was deafening.

9, Aug. 1974...I was measuring ingredients for a batch of dremel polishing discs at a manufacturing plant in Lindenwold, NJ. I wasn't very politcaly active nor did I care much beyond the issues surrounding the war. Shock and a feeling of 'this is a significant historical moment' is all I remember.

Those two were the ones I still remember details of until...the Challenger, I was in a darkroom processing a batch of  Ektachrome I'd just shot for a breast implant print advert. I remember being stuck for 5 mins in the dark alone with my emotions. I could hear the customers and employees at the retail counter crying. I'll never forget that.

9/11/01 Unfortunatley, that ones too easy to remember because of the gravity of the situation.

There are others like the moon landing and Bobby Kennedys assassination, and even the attempt on Grorge Wallaces life, but those details are really fuzzy.

He died from brain cancer

He was only 7.

Do I remember where I was when the oj verdict was reported, nope. I figured he'd get off.

I do recall where I was when the berlin wall came down, the challenger loss and 9/11 however.

The threshold for guilt vs innocence is FAR lower in a civil court vs a criminal court.

Imo, if you are found not guilty in a criminal court, you shouldn't then be subject to greedy relatives suing you in civil court for every penny you have.

I didnt understand what you were saying before, didnt really make sense to me.

I just used a tape measure to measure my palm before/after I spread my fingers. I can certainly make the base look wider by moving my thumb. About 3/8 inch wider. At the base of my fingers with my fingers spread as wide as I can, there is an increase of 3/8 inch again. The middle of my palm doesnt change at all. I think you have defective hands, better go see a doctor. :D

Seriously though, peoples perception of OJ pulling on that glove vary. You saw a man trying to make sure it didnt fit. I saw a man trying on a glove that looked 2 sizes to small. /shrug

You saw him trying to put on a glove that had shrunk due to having gotten wet. You also saw him putting on a glove that would have fit tightly if it had not shrunk and would have fit had he not already been wearing plastic very loose fitting gloves. He had absolutely no reason to really put it on and took the oportunity to play to the cameras and put one over on the jury.

Read my post above about the show on Discovery channel ;)

If he was really innocent, then he had every reason to put on the glove.

The media and the coverage of the trial didnt convince me he was guilty. Not saying he is or isnt because not one of us knows if he killed Nicole and Ron, only OJ knows that for sure.

I figure it this way- he's only a few years from the day his daughter stares him coldly in the eye and states " I know exactly what you did." Nothing is going to protect him from that moment.

I'm not saying public opinon or the media is always right. You bet your a** the justice system is vulverable , thats why you have judges legislating from the bench.
