Post a CommentI really do feel sorry for OJ. His fall from grace was classic. This man could have been so much to so many but the glitz of celebrity and bad choices got in his way.
=)

Great report Mary...I don't think that O.J. Simpson could ever get a fair trial anywhere. Too many people are convinced that he is a cold-blooded murderer who got away with it, and they have been hounding him ever since. I don't have any pity for him, he is a stupid man. I feel sorry for his kids.
O. J. Simpson's codefendants; Charles Ehrlich, Charles Cashmore,Michael McClinton and Walter Alexander were allowed to plea bargain; they pleaded guilty to a much lessor charge of robbery. In return they testified against Mr. Simpson at his trial.They were, also, accused of entering that hotel room with guns to take back memorabilia that belonged to O. J. Simpson. Yale Galanter, Mr. Simpson's lawyer said Mr. Simpson will appeal based on jury selection. He said that they all had a fixed opinion of Mr. Simpson.
