Acquitted double murderer O.J. Simpson has some words of advice for "Baretta" TV star and accused wife killer Robert Blake: Keep your mouth shut.

O.J. weighed in on Blake's plight through his lawyer, Yale Galanter, who told reporters Friday that his client sympathized with the ex-TV star.

Simpson recommended to Blake, "Follow your lawyer's advice and keep your mouth shut," Galanter said.

"Simpson totally believes in the jury system," the Juice's attorney told the New York Daily News. "And he believes that if he follows his lawyer's advice, he can get a fair shake."

Aside from passing along the friendly tip, O.J.'s legal eagle isn't too pleased that so many are drawing parallels between Blake and his client.

"We both feel that the comparisons that are being made are way out of step," Galanter explained.

"Baretta" should have listened closer to his theme song.

"Don't go to bed with no price on your head,
Don't do it.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

"Simpson totally believes in the jury system," the Juice's attorney told the New York Daily News.

I've thought of a great idea for a TV program. Robert Blake, OJ Simpson and Gary Condit team up together to look for "The Real Killers".™ It would be sort of like Cops with a cameraman following them around from city to city, chashing leads and picking up women while searching for "The Real Killers." I'm telling you this could be a hit.

Does anyone know somebody at Fox I could run this idea by?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Put in a call to Quinn Martin, if he's still around.

OJ forgot to pass on one more important piece of advice!

Make sure you get a jury that is too stupid to understand scientific evidence!!

Oh, and maybe we'd better find somebody who has heard one of the LAPD who has at one time in his life referred to Italians as wops or spaghetti benders or some other such horribly racist term. That'll get Blake off for sure!

Sarcasm intended here people.

[BradyLS]

Yep, and his eye on the sparrow.

"We both feel that the comparisons that are being made are way out of step," Galanter explained.

Yeah, "Baretta" only killed ONE person. Totally different situation from TWO!

[bandleader]

What would have been OJ's likely admonishment to"BeelzeBubba"?Would it have been"Keep Your Mouth Shut",or"Keep Your Fly Up"??

O.J. was lucky that the police were caught lying and committing purjury on the witness stand, and that Lynn Furman had to take the 5th ammendment on cross examination.

Furman was the one that fingered O.J., saw a single drop of blood in the dark 30 feet away, and happened to find one glove at the crime scene, and the other glove in O.J.s back yard.

Once the prosecution took the 5th amendment on their testimony, admitting their case was based on lies, and especially that their star witnessed lied, the jury thereafter didnt believe anything the prosecution said, and O.J. was home free.

If Blake can also prove the police are lying in his case, he too will be home free.

Who is Lynn Furman?

"Put in a call to Quinn Martin, if he's still around."

Quinn Martin:
born: May 22, 1922
died: August 6, 1987
Occupation: TV producer

oj is free due to 12 morons ................who believe oj is a lover of black people, when in reality oj is a lover a whitey and hates black and black women, that is why oj is free.................who is lynn furman it is mark and if you watched the trial you would know that the DNA was the link, read what robin cotton had to say when she testified.

[luvbach1]

Don't laugh, impugning the police (and by inference, the evidence gathered) is precisely the defense planned for Blake. This is the OJ dream team's lasting contribution to juris prudence

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Lynn must be Mark's wife. I wouldn't go by her testimony, but I would go by Mark's.

[MHT]

I thought that the police said that the gunpowder test was negative and it indicated that he had not fired a weapon in the past 24 hours. Now this?

[MHT]

Baretta killed someone? I kept thinking that the reference about Blake was being made to his "In Cold Blood" role.

[Pagey]

Has anyone noticed that his working days an actor have been over for years and the media is treating him like he's a God-Head?It's totally unnecessary and it shows just how irrelevant they (The Media in general) really are.Nothing is less important in my life,than whether this guy is guilty or innocent.Yet,they're going to "shovel it down our throats"( phrase courtesy of Phil Hendrie) daily for how long?6 months?9 months?A year?I for one will tune out any radio or TV that even mentions this case.I really don't give a damn. L.A. TV News on Friday was AWFUL,(they followed the White Car on the Freeway for gods sake and there was Traffic!)so I turned it off.Thank God for the remote.
OJ?I won't even start. <--------Rant

[ladyinred]

Sorry, it was Mark, not Lynn, and he was not the key witness. The prosecuters had more than enough evidence without the glove to covict OJ. This jury never intended to find O J guilty. The real lies were from the absolutely unprofessional defense scheme team.

[ladyinred]

OJ didn't keep his big mouth shut, and never will. Wish someone would shut it for him. Of course he believes in the jury system, the kind he had anyway, one that his slimey lawyer talked into ignoring all of the mountains of evidence against him.
A video of OJ in the act couldn't have made those stupid jury members convict him.
Blake does not have the option to falsely claim racism against the LAPD, so he does not have a chance to fake out a jury.
