He was "the man', but now he is getting what he deserves...pityful...

On October 3, 1995, O.J. Simpson was found "not guilty" of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, even though any reasonable person knew that he was guilty. Basically this was a case of "jury nullification". Reaction to the verdict was divided among racial lines.
However, it is important to point out that no cities were burned and no whites retaliated by taking TVs and designer clothing out of department stores. Basically they sucked it up and got on with their lives.
However, O.J. Simpson did not get away with murder after all. From that point on, O.J. Simpson's life was a living hell.
Nobody hired him as an actor again. Not even the 7th remake of "Naked Gun". Nobody wanted his autograph anymore. He did not run through airports anymore. No corporation hired him again to sponsor their product. His stellar NFL career was forgotten about. No longer was he welcome in an NFL stadium. People shunned him. He became a laughingstock (remember the "I'm going to find the REAL killer"?)
He lost a civil trial to the tune of $33,500,000. His Heisman trophy was auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Goldman family. He was denied compensation for book and speaking deals. He was arrested for various offenses and eventually convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery.
He is still in prison today, a miserable, unhappy and unhealthy person. He will either die in prison or if he lives to his parole, will die destitute and lonely.
He did not get away with murder after all.
And of course there’s always the chance he didn’t do it. I know a fellow who knows a fellow who says OJ is innocent.
didn’t he write a book called “If I did it?”
“Oh my lawd, this is quite tencious.... I’m looking at the van and I see OJ kinda slouching down and looking upset. Very upset. Now lookee here.”
Peter Jennings, thanks for playing a part in history. :-)
“And of course there’s always the chance he didn’t do it”
No there’s not.
I like happy endings.
Thank you!
Was that when white folks all across the country rioted, burned, and looted? I must have slept right through that part.

O.J. Simpson’s life was a living hell.
He ain’t seen nothing yet.
He’s not going to find Nicole’s killer — unless he’s got a mirror. For his sake, I hope he finds the truth.
What’s the old saying? ‘The wheels of God’s justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.’ Something like that.
A pancreatic cancer diagnosis would be the icing on the cake.
Remember when Peter was “the young one”?
He either did it, or he hired someone to do it, to get out from under something that was making him look like a fool to the black community.
Black men do not like to be "shamed" by their women.
I just hope omoeba pays for his crimes.
He is far from destitute. Every month his NFL check is deposited into his checking account.
How naïve the young liberal.
Karma is a bitch.
But you're right, he's not destitute.
