Late night talk show hosts are going to have some fun. That's for sure.

*BubblyShell22* · 09-19-2007, 02:46 PM

Yeah, they sure will. These sorts of things are good fodder for comedy acts.

Now he's off on bail..... yeah. Now he can plan his strategy of totally getting off the hook for this. Too bad Johnny Cochran is dead....

Forget Johnny Cochran. OJ got off the hook for murder because the prosecutors bungled so badly. Johnny Cochran didn't win the later civil suit.

And it appears they're going to bungle this one too. Especially since the ones going up against OJ aren't good guys themselves. No matter who wins, they're both losers....

Possibly, but this one is definitely up in the air. Just because the ones going up against OJ aren't good guys doesn't mean that OJ is innocent in this matter. Maybe they'll all wind up in the lockup when this is over.

There was a recent mob trial in Chicago when all the defendants were convicted on all charges. It took a former mobster, a son of one of the defendants, to help convict them. Also, most police informers are criminal scum in their own right.

Yeah...but that's what makes it so "up in the air" I mean...any lawyer who's good at his job will discredit these people left and right because of their criminal activities....And any jury who is gullible will follow headlong like a lemming over a cliff.

The lawyers for these Chicago mobsters must not have been very good, or else the prosecutors were very good. (This news item came from none other than National Public Radio news.)

Note that the mobsters were convicted of actual racketeering charges, not merely income tax evasion as was done with mobsters of decades before.

So, I heard today that one of OJ's boys has taken a plea deal and will be testifying against OJ.....

*BubblyShell22* · 10-16-2007, 02:54 PM

Really? Wow! I didn't know that. Well, that will be interesting to see how that turns out. It's sad when one of your kids has to testify against you like he has to do.

*Katie* · 10-16-2007, 07:19 PM

not "boy" as in his kid..."boy" as in one of his friends who helped him break into the hotel room

me and my Southern ghetto slang

I know how to say "dude I didn't see ANYTHING" in five languages now

Oh, sorry. I know what you guys meant by that. I was just out of it at that moment that I posted that. Sorry.
