O.J. Simpson Wants Out Of Prison

O.J. Simpson wants out of the clank.
He hopes to achieve an early exit with a new trial after his 2008 conviction for bursting into a $35-a-night Las Vegas hotel room and stealing signed photos of himself and other sports memorabilia.
The former NFL star who was cleared of killing his ex-wife and her friend in 1995 says his lawyer Yale Galanter screwed up the armed robbery case that resulted in a 33-year prison sentence, the Associated Press reported Friday.
Simpson, who's now 65, will argue to a Vegas judge next week that Galanter gave him terrible legal advice and failed to inform him of a plea offer that would have gotten him out in two years.
Galanter also told Simpson it was totally legal for him to "retrieve" sports memorabilia he believed was stolen from him, according to the former NFL player.
"I fully disclosed my plan to Yale Galanter," Simpson said in a sworn statement, "and he advised me that I was within my legal rights."
Simpson gained infamy in the 1990s, when his televised trial for allegedly killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman captivated America. His 1995 acquittal stunned a lot of lawyers, and people are still obsessed with the murder case. A book even came out recently speculating Simpson's son was actually the killer.

Fred Goldman, the father of the man Simpson allegedly killed, said at the time that he was "thrilled" that he was finally being put behind bars, according to the AP.

“100% of inmates in US prisons want out of prison.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Not quite, maybe 99.9% but there are a few who actually don’t want out.
Fred Goldman wants his son back.
Obama will pardon O.J. and appoint him to a special commission to find the real killers in Benghazi.
“A book even came out recently speculating Simpson’s son was actually the killer. “
Which I myself to this day believe is the real murderer. OJ was protecting his son Jason from the death penalty.
Surely President Obomba can intervene and offer some government employment for this poor soul. His 1,000 member staff includes transsexuals, homosexuals, cross dressers, lesbians and whores. A murderer would be a step up.
lol. You made me laugh.
Last resort, blame the lawyer.
He wants to help Obama in the search for the “real killers” in Libya..
Yeah! And Nicole wants out of the grave.
So he hasn’t been looking for the real killers for the last five years. He’s been trying to figure out a way to throw his mouthpiece under the bus.
He should have done the deed in California. Big Dummy!
“who was cleared of killing his ex-wife and her friend in 1995”
He wasn’t exactly cleared. He lost a civil suit against him by the families of the folks he murdered because “a jury unanimously found there was a preponderance of evidence to hold Simpson liable for damages in the wrongful death of Goldman and battery of Brown.”
And of course the scumbag wants out of jail. Wouldn’t anyone? To which I say, Boo, fuching hoo.
