I do believe that he is addressing you, joy - perhaps I am wrong, but it struck me as being a rhetorical remark on the state of the world.

And as far as oj being "old & crippled with arthritis" as you posted - no.
Any injuries that he sustained during his football career have not disabled him at all.
The man lives to play golf & thoroughly enjoys a tennis match.

As to the civil suit filed & won, that is the perogative of the families - the families who proceeded to practise this government sanctioned right, to prove his guilt. This was not only their last chance at justice, but also a chance to get custody of those beautiful children.
oj is an individual who 'rolled the dice' on his face/fame and won.
This does not make him innocent.
And for him to have the supreme audacity to write and have a book published titled "If I Did It", is outrageous and egocentric! This individual is bragging - thumbing his nose at everyone.
I believe in the old adage "what goes around comes around".

In the matter of civil suits,MOO is if a man is killed, the sole support of his family,etc.etc.,there may be a case for compensation that would be commesurate with what he would earn in a lifetime. That I think is what civil suits were intended for, but there was NO WAY this applied to the Goldman, Browns. Neither of these were the support of their family and this was intended as purely PUNITIVE measures. I disagree with that. I still am of the opinion , and always will be that if found not guilty in a criminal trial, the civil trial should not be allowed.This has nothing to do with just this case.

Cami, apparently Mr Wagner interviewed Shively(there are the interviews on the site) and she said OJ stuck his arm out the window, she could very clearly see him in the intersection. He had on a short sleeve shirt and no blood. She had a good enoufgh look to see his license plate and repeated it. She was familiar with Cowlings and OJ and at first thought it was AL because they drive the same car. I know you thik he's guilty, but this site is very interesting in the way of timelines, technical aspects. This gentleman was an engineer.

I do appreciate that you understand that NONE of my posts on ANY subject have any anger, just discussion.

Cami,

I see your point but in defense of Wilma and myself, I have to disagree. I see a lot of anger coming from Joy in her posts re the Goldman's - such as she read they have not talked in years (Ron and his father). Their son is dead; he was brutally murdered and I take exception to that remark. The only reason I can see someone making it is out of anger or to get a rise out of people or just plain ignorance. Joy professes to want facts to back things up and yet she posts that remark. It was unfair to the Goldman's who lost their son. I had to address it and I did.

I have to disagree about the civil suits also. If a man is killed by a drunk driver and he is the sole support of his family and he leaves a wife and three children with nothing but a house and a mortgage, the driver's estate should be sued and rightly so. Why should the family suffer because a drunk driver decided to ignore what is right and get blindly in the car and kill someone. The children have a right to a life their father would give them. Just my opinion.

But I appreciate your posts and thanks.

It's not the money Joy. The Goldmans and Browns didn't ask for any money..they wanted a verdict, nothing more. They wanted a court to say OJ did it.

The whole country..well the world is outraged by the thought of this book. It's basically OJ's confession. He's basically thumbing his nose at your justice system and laughing. I slaughtered these two people and now I am going to make a bundle from it. I think I can understand the Goldman's fury. How can they ever get on with their lives when OJ's narcissim keeps him in the limelight. None of us here have had people we love brutally murdered in the manner Nicole and Ron were so how can we ever understand what they are going through.

Even though everything has been cancelled, he still made money...half the contract up front..standard.

Did Shevely also see Patsy Ramsey with OJ while all this was going on?

Okay, that was quite rude & I apologise.
You are all over the map though, Joy.
All over the map.
