Most disagree with me, but fail to learn from history...with the liberal judges letting the attourney's take control of their courtrooms, this guy will walk with a slap on the hand, or minimal jail time, a book deal, and later a movie offer.

I think he'll get some serious time.

I don't know Raub. For one thing, he's a baby. 20 years old. Every mom in the country with a wayward child will identify for starters...

When our military didn't summarily execute him in Afganistan, and brought him "home" instead, I started to have my doubts.

We literally had OJ's DNA on the victims, but did he do time?

well rip, it was his wife, im sure he touched her some before the deed (him or someone else) was done no?

I find this whole thing idiotic. If this was Korea or WW2 or maybe even vietnam, this guy wouldve been shot on the spot for treason. He was found with an AK on their trenches for feks sake.

Agree with ya Tac (BTW, they found his blood on her body,-his knuckles were banged up from plunging that knife in her ribs so hard-- her blood in his truck, how much more incriminating can you get?)

OJ was tried in LaLa Land, not Virginia...OJ also wasn't associated with a group responsible for the death of thousands of people.

Rip, OJ was guilty as hell, but don't blame liberal judges. Ito was a REPUBLICAN appointment by the Very Conservative George Dukmejian.

I hope he receives the best possible defense. That will eliminate questions in the future as to his guilt or innocence. We should always take the high ground, we are America fer krise sakes!

OJ was/is black - LA cops are white - nuf said

"why can't we all just get along"

There ya go again Targut

..."Liberal" as in the word "generous, ample, tolerant"...not as in the political sense. He let the attourneys and media take over his courtroom.

Theres an old joke that goes "Did you hear that they found Hitler alive?...the bad news is..they're going to try him in LA".

since when does the judge give a verdict in a criminal trial by jury? Blame the 12 people that sat on that jury and looked past all the evidence and listened to Johnnie Cochran (sp?).

Unfortunately nowadays, that means playing the race card.

The Judge let the Circus come to town, and perform in his courtroom. That allowed the jury to make their decision, based on allowable evidence.
