Pikachu, I’ve been very, very joyful in my life for decades.
You reject my good wishes. Seen and noted. Signing off.
Very well. Have a good evening.
But first, one more correction. Lets see. Lot of twists and turns in this custody battle. Apparently O.J. lost the battle in the end, but got his kids when the Browns conceded.
Kids were 8 and 5 when the mother was murdered.
“Sydney Simpson was 8 and Justin 5 in June 1994”
Grandparents had the kids for 30 months. (2.5 years)
“After their father’s arrest for the murders, they spent 30 months with Nicole’s parents, Lou and Juditha Brown, in Monarch Bay, Calif. “
O.J. loses the initial battle in Oct 1996.
O.J. won custody of his children Dec 20, 1996.
The Browns appealed.
The Browns won their appeal on Nov 11, 1998.
O.J. then lost his appeal to the Supreme Court on Feb 25, 1999. (three years later).
Browns retain custody but let kids live with O.J. five years later. (so 2001?)
O.J. still had his kids in 2003.

“The 911 caller was young, female—and sobbing. “I don’t want to be with my father,” she cried. “Can’t you do something about that? He tells me he doesn’t f——’ love me.... That’s not like an abuse thing?” The operator might have treated the Jan. 18 call as a typical domestic disturbance, but the parent in question was O.J. Simpson, and the Miami-Dade County police rushed five cruisers to the Miami-area home. Officers found Sydney Simpson, 17, distraught in her bedroom, explaining that she’d had an argument with her dad. Within minutes she had left, and O.J. stepped out to offer smiles and handshakes to the officers. “
