The fact that is country allows a civil suit after wining in a criminal trial is just sick. And in this case it is a frivolous suit that will occur in front of a mindless jury.

That's the problem with OJ Simpson's case.

I can understand this sentiment. However, the burden of proof is lower in a civil case. OJ Simpson won (acquitted) his criminal trial but lost in the civil case arising out of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson deaths.

Did you think the same way when Fred Goldman sued O.J. Simpson?

For the record, yes I did. IMHO, Fred Goldman would have earned my respect had he sued the right people for the miscarriage of justice. I watched every bit of that sad spectacle I could and I told the wife before the verdict that Simpson was going to walk. First year law students could have presented a better prosecution.

I cannot stand someone winning a big dollar civil lawsuit against someone acquitted. Like you said it’s a sick form of double jeopardy.

I wonder...used to be a judge could immediately dismiss a case based on frivoulsness. The system is so lame.

OJ Simpson agrees ...
