Not A Lawyer

I guess the question should be: Is there anyone who does NOT want to smack OJ Simpson?

I want to beat him about the head with a hot cast iron skillet. Not because he brutally murdered two people, got away with it and then wrote a book about how he did it. He deserves far worse for that crime, but the justice system failed.

It’s this latest armed robbery thing. Not the fact that I believe he is guilty of the 12 charges against him, and not even the latest smug shot.

Here’s why I just want to pound him into the ground. Have you seen him in court?

He doesn’t say a word, and he doesn’t have to say anything. All the eye rolling and huffing and puffing is far more than enough.

At the four day preliminary hearing he didn’t just sit and listen to the testimony like a sane defendant might. There was a lot of pulling faces, shifting around, the previously mentioned eye rolling and heavy breathing and sighing.

And that’s why, right now, I feel in the mood for some violence against OJ.

Well, I guess the police in Las Vegas aren’t afraid of OJ Simpson after all. Today OJ was arrested and taken into police custody. Charges in connection with the armed robbery of the sports memorabilia dealer are pending.

Excuse me for a moment while I do a happy dance.

At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the armed robbery and more arrests are expected. And - get this - sources say that the thug that has already been arrested may very well turn on OJ.

Simpson and Walter Alexander have been arrested so far. Alexander is charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

Alexander’s attorney said that the DA has said that Alexander has a week to think about negotiating a plea agreement. I like the strategy they are using here. They are going to charge OJ’s thugs with every single thing they can think of, and basically force them to give up the goods on OJ Simpson.

Oh, this is going to be good. OJ Simpson finally may get served some justice.

Criminal charges against OJ Simpson for the armed robbery of a memorabilia dealer in Las Vegas have unfortunately, not materialized.

TMZ said today that the memorabilia dealer told them that OJ apologized to him and that he and OJ Simpson “fight like brothers” but maintain a good relationship.

The dealer had testified for Simpson in the wrongful death civil case against him and said in court that after his acquittal the value of OJ Simpson memorabilia went down. So apparently the junk he is, or was, trying to sell, isn’t worth squat. Yeah, right.

Another interesting thing that was reported today was that OJ Simpson says that the police in Vegas told him to work things out with the memorabilia dealer.

What? Since when do the police tell an armed robber who reportedly took the items at gunpoint, flanked by his thugs, to “work it out” with the victim? Something doesn’t wash here.

So I’m thinking, there are several things that might have happened.

1. That OJ and his thugs did not rob the man at gunpoint. (ummm.. unlikely)
2. That the dealer is so afraid of OJ Simpson that he retracted his statements about the robbery. (this seems more likely to me)
or
3. That the Las Vegas police don’t want to mess with OJ. (maybe, but why would they be afraid of him?)

The whole thing makes little sense to me, but then again, this is OJ Simpson we are talking about.

Oh, also another crazy thing I swear I heard on the news today was that OJ Simpson was in Vegas to promote his new book. What??? Is OJ promoting “If I Did It” for the Goldman family? Or did he write a different book? What’s the deal with him supposedly promoting a book? I will have to investigate this further to try to get some answers.
