[jerryskid]

O.J. "Killer" Simpson back in the spotlight.....he ought to be shot !!!!

[binaural turbine]

what is he up to now? I can't believe that waste of O2 got off. I'm not much of one for believing in afterlife payback, but I'm pretty sure if there is, Johnny Cochran is sweating it pretty badly right now.

Where I was working we acutally had a television in the office, so everybody could watch as he got convicted. I still remember the shock and dismay.

Oh it's true alright. I saw a commercial for it last night on the TV. Shocking! OJ might have done it? SAY IT AIN'T SO!?!?!

I'm pretty sure if there is, Johnny Cochran is sweating it pretty badly right now.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Johnny Cochran is busy pushing up the daisies.

Marcia Clark, on the other hand...


... isn't it sad that we remember these people for this reason?

[blackieC]

So this prick wrote a book called "If I Did It" describing how he would have committed the murders "if he did it"?



That degree of gall is just fucking unfathomable.


Karma is taking a little too long with that asshole.

If I remember right, I believe Ted Bundy did the same thing, years before he confessed....

We need that guy from the old TV show 'The Equalizer. Lessee...where's the classifieds...?

[nobby]

Difference is, OJ was aquitted, Bundy was executed.

OJ could come out and say he did it. Double Jeopardy.

Hey....

Should that be gall?


Otherwise fiolks with laridaphobia might not really get the message...

Well, that is true for criminal prosecution, but I forsee a very heated civil suit for the (unfortunatly, probably massive) profits from that book. If the victims families have any sense (and good lawyers, which you can bet they do), neither OJ nor the publisher will make a fucking penny off of this bullshit.

But, yet one more reason to dispise FOX. As if one was needed.

[G. Hoffman]

Oh, and as for Jonny Cohcrane and the rest of OJ's legal team, they take cases like that for a couple of reasons (and for some of them, ego is a big part of it), but most of those guys take those high profile (and high fee) cases so they can use that money to represent clients who have no money. One of those guys started The Innocence Project (http://www.innocenceproject.org/) with most of his money from that case, and they all do huge amounts of pro-bono work. Most of them are not nearly as slimey as they seem (which is not to say that some of them aren't).

he still hasn't paid his victim's families any of the 30 plus million $ civil suit judgement against him - I seriously doubt he'll be giving them any book profits - probably has any $ redirected via his well paid lawyers (I still say slime!) and will continue living his movie star lifestyle in his untouchable Florida mansion with his untouchable NFL pension- what a dick!

oh and here is a link to Letterman's top 10 chapter titles in O.J. Simpson's new book (http://cbs2.com/video/?id=28767@kcbs.dayport.com&cid=73) from last night's show. I particularly like the one about going to hell.

He doens't have a mansion. He lives in Kendall. Subdivision called The Crossings. Vanilla, Suburban, Gated Community. Very middle class. though it must be nice to not have to work, and play golf all day.

The book and television special have been cancelled.
So, do we discuss Michael Richards's "stand up" routine now...?

Judith Regan must have been eagerly anticipating the riches that she would have gained by publishing the book, but instead, what she is reaping is a reputation as one of the most venal sleazebags ever to walk the planet.

Murdock couldn't care less about anything besides money and power, but when those were threatened the otherwise unscrupulous bag of crap had to pull the plug.

O.J. Simpson book, interview scrapped
BY VERNE GAY AND AILEEN JACOBSON
Newsday Staff Writers

November 20, 2006, 11:43 PM EST


News Corp. Monday dropped plans to publish O.J. Simpson's purported tell-all "If I Did It" and an accompanying two-part Fox interview, to the relief of two entire industries -- book publishing and television.

In a midafternoon statement, News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch said, "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson."





Both Fox and Reganbooks declined to comment further. Nevertheless, it was clear that Murdoch -- who's in Australia and was traveling last week when the book/special was announced -- narrowly averted a public relations catastrophe. Personalities on his own Fox News Channel had been pounding both Fox and Reganbooks, while the families of Ronald Goldman and NicoleBrown-Simpson had launched Web sites protesting the package. Indeed, the book/interview has been red meat for a constellation of media outlets, from bloggers to rivals of Fox.

Lisa Bloom, Court TV News anchor and just one of many critics of the proposed book and interviews, said Monday, "We interview terrible people all the time, but paying for this is what made it so toxic. Frankly, I see this as a good day for the media."

Even so, questions remained about why the book and special were commissioned in the first place or whether Simpson ever intended to "confess" in either -- as Fox and the publisher, Reganbooks, had so breathlessly promised as recently as Friday.

This little question, too: Will Simpson's words and TV interviews ever turn up elsewhere? There was immediate speculation that if ownership reverts to Simpson (as expected) the interviews will end up as DVD releases or -- the usual fate of so much other taped material -- on Youtube.

When business sense overcomes sleaze
November 21, 2006


First, do no harm.

Second, make some money for the company.

And there you have (though not necessarily in that order) the pact that all TV executives must sign en route to a nice salary and box seats at the Super Bowl.

Do nothing to humiliate the stations or advertisers or investors or network. Do nothing to tarnish the image or sully the brand. Do nothing that will arm critics with the irrefutable evidence that this business really is - after all - a craven, soulless enterprise with the courage of a flea and the heart of a gnat.

Yet what was so astonishing about the Fox-O.J. Simpson fiasco is just how thoroughly one little sweeps stunt nearly demolished these simple rules in the span of a week. Until yesterday at around 3:30 p.m., no one at News Corp. appeared to be in charge. No one appeared to realize that the soaring tower on Sixth Avenue was in flames. This was a disaster about to claim many victims - a whole network notwithstanding.

Yes indeed, it must have been amusing to be inside Fox headquarters these last few days. The epidemic of finger-pointing and hand-washing must have been comical. "Not my fault," everyone was saying. "Blame that guy a couple offices down."

The list of finger-pointers, hand-washers and clowns is a long one, but the buck must stop with the boss clown, and that is Rupert Murdoch. Overlooking a blip here, a stumble there, Murdoch has usually been the smartest, savviest, cagiest executive in the entire world of media. Yet there he was, very nearly about to become one more sucker claimed by one of the great media con artists of all time, O.J. Simpson. Until yesterday at around 3:30 p.m., when he finally made a decision - the right one - Murdoch's reputation was about to go up in flames, along with the rest of the building.

Then there was Roger Ailes. He's the chief of Fox News, who was secretly giving the green light to his big dogs like Bill O'Reilly to kick the stuffing out of sister network Fox and News Corp. subsidiary ReganBooks for their twisted synergistic pact. Yet Ailes - who's also the head of some 35 Fox-owned TV stations - was also about to let the very stations he has control over air this travesty. His reputation, too, was about to go up in smoke.

"If murdering 2 people is a crime then call me guilty"

Reminds me of the Letterman Top Ten list about the Top Ten Things Overheard in OJ's courtroom.

One of them was "Who do I have to kill to get a drink of water around here?"

[nobby]

LOS ANGELES -- O.J. Simpson told The Associated Press he participated in the ill-fated "If I Did It" book and interview project for one reason -- personal profit, and he acknowledged that any financial gain was "blood money."

"This was an opportunity for my kids to get their financial legacy," Simpson said in interviews this week with the AP after the book deal was abandoned by its publisher. "My kids understand. I made it clear that it's blood money, but it's no different than any of the other writers who did books on this case."

Usually when someone murders someone, they go to prison for a long time, which often removes a primary breadwinner from the household and often causes their kids, if they have any, to become impovershed. That's one of the disincentives to commit murder.

It seems he wasn't so concerned about his kids' future when he murdered their mother.

We had dinner with with a leading law professor in San Francisco shortly after the murder.

She told us that the police precinct in question was so notoriously corrupt that anybody who could afford a defense only stood about a one in ten chance of being convicted. In the end she was not at all convinced that he did it.

It's certainly a great publicity stunt for Fox news!

Not just corrupt, but bungling.

I watched the court proceedings with interest up to the point that (IIRC) Det. Van Atter admitted on cross that he had stopped by OJ's house on the way to the crime lab with a vial of Nichole's blood (which was found on his socks). The I clicked off my tv in disgust, feeling he would be aquitted for sure (reasonable doubt).

The glove thing was stupid... the jury didn't know that leather shrinks when it gets wet?

And OJ was guilty as hell. Between the extreme cocaine abuse, numerous domestic violence reports and that no one else had motive.
