OJ Simpson jury to announce decision tonight in Las Vegas at 10pm Pacific.
I would have convicted him at least of robbery (don’t have the list of offenses to refer to). I’m afraid that most jurors, now that they know what the guys who rolled over would have been sentenced to, will be afraid to convict him of the whole list of offenses. He of course denies any knowledge of any guns, very hard to believe.
I’m afraid people will say “but it was his own stuff, he was just trying to get it back”. It was stuff likely hidden from the Goldman’s, but the judge stopped most of that story from coming in.
He ran with a scruffy bunch, but even Al Beardsley, who claims he was not a victim, sure sounded like one on the 911 tape. OJ obviously feels he’s special and rules don’t apply to him, and there are always devoted followers in his wake. To listen to him blowing his stack on the tape of this robbery is to recall the earlier trial and what he was accused of.
The verdict will be very interesting. I truly thought they would be a hung jury, so am surprised they came back so quickly. Either they think it’s all trumped up to get OJ or they will nail him, I can’t even guess at this point. Or they might be afraid to convict him lest people think they were dishing out payback for Nicole.
I used to drive to the top of Lake Sherwood’s mountain in Westlake Ca. when Art was still local in Vegas before he went big time...I could catch the “skip” from my car
That’s how long I’ve been listenin.....I also have 2 original number 1 issues of the Newsletter.
Half an hour from now, apparently. KTLA is covering the story with an online stream at:

I know! Where DID he find them! ;)
A southern woman is talking, in quite practiced fashion, about spiritual engagement of messages and various encounters and whatnot.
Dang but KFI is coming in better tonight! Now that you mention the new tower sitch!
Is it 10:00PM yet? /s
Reporter says OJs lawyers look distressed ...
OK - I can watch Golden Girls on Lifetime TV, listen to KFI-AM 640 radio on my laptop AND FReep all at the same time. How much better can it get?<<<<<<<<<<<
Ditto, here, GG is one of my favorite ways to relax at the end of a long day.
I’m in. I remember doing this back in ‘95, course then it was on airwaves local radio and didn’t have this new fangled live internets stream thingy
It was a circus. A trial that was dragged for 9 months. That too me is grounds for a mistrial. Personally, I think Marsha Clark screwed it up too.
I think we both missed "it" then...
OJ's bud.
I’m back at a college reunion, and literally an hour ago walked into the downstairs room (the lone place with a TV around then) and commented to someone that I will forever remember that place as where I watched the OJ verdict. Bizarre to be back here 13 years later, in that room for the first time in over 12, and it be the day of the new verdict!
Heard that too........interesting .
hah!
I think anyone who attempted to profit from a book called “If I did it” deserves to roast in a very inner circle of Hell.
If he gets convicted and gets a long sentence I’m convinced O.J. will commit suicide.
