O.J. was found NOT GUILTY of murder by a Jury of his peers, and yet he has been crucified by Fred Goldman. I still say that Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered as part of a drug killing--why else where they killed with a Colombian necktie? O.J. Was crucified in the media, but he was found NOT GUILTY of murder. Far be it for me to condone armed robbery, but if O.J. did commit a robbery to get his own stuff back, then he had no choice but to steal HIS Memorabilia back, because everything he owns is now property of that self-serving no good sonofabitch Fred Goldman!
The most dangerous place in Peoria, Arizona is between Fred Goldman and a news camera. Goldman sued for millions of dollars over the death of his son, whose lifetime earning potential as a waiter was probably far less than the $33.5-Million judgment awarded to him. Some of that money was for Punative damages. How can you punish someone who was found NOT GUILTY? That unfair $33.5M Judgement eliminated any hope of O.J. being able to ever live in peace. Anything to stick-it-to-da-man Fred Goldman should be justified...$33.5M simoleons for a waiter? Gimmie a break dude!
HELLO PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES, O.J. Was found NOT GUILTY of the crime of murder in a criminal Jury trial, yet he has had to surrender everything to GOLDMAN because, while the Constitution prohibits double jeopardy, in our warped system of justice, one can still be sued and punished in civil court with a "preponderance of the evidence" quite a different standard than "reasonable doubt".
Now comes word that this whole robbery thing was a SET UP, and now O.J. is in trouble all because he tried to fight back against an unfair, racist, discriminatory double jeopardy system where a person found Not Guilty for something in criminal court can still be tried again in civil court and punished/held financially liable!!!
O.J. WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY--that is an indisputable fact--that he was found Not Guilty of Murder by a Jury trial (whether or not he committed the crime is moot, the undisputable fact is, he was found NOT GUILTY in a court of law), under the standard of "reasonable doubt" set fourth by the founding fathers....and he continues to pay the price.

Crimes in other pro sports
Feb 12--After the NFL Pro Bowl tonight, the NFL Season has officially ended. Updates to this blog may be less frequent until Pre-season starts.
Several friends and colleagues have asked me to establish sites for other sports like MLBCRIMES.COM or NBA crimes dot com (there would certainly be no shortage of material), but I am a football fan first and foremost. Here is an aside of the real crime in sports, and it is not NFL related--the NBA's slighting of Louisiana.
Now that my NBA team, the New Orleans Hornets, are going to play most of next season in Oklahoma City, there is no since in me setting up a basketball crimes site.
NBA Commissioner David Stern is guilty of the worst crime in all of sport, in that he would rather have more profitable sellout crowds in OKC than have the New Orleans Hornets where they belong..in New Orleans to honor their commitment to the State of Louisiana Taxpayers who paid them untold millions to re-locate the team from Charlotte, sign a long term commitment to Louisiana, and upgrade the New Orleans arena to NBA standards--Never mind that it was specifically built to NBA standards at the time of construction to house the Minnesota Timberwolves. Remember, in a lawsuit, the court held that the Timberwolves signed the agreement to move to New Orleans in bad faith, and never had any intention of going to New Orleans. They just wanted to force the hand of the Minnesota legislature to get a new arena in Minnesota. So you had a world class, debt free, purpose built NBA arena sitting vacant for several years hosting local events (notably a minor league hockey team).
And under the deal the Hornets negotiated with Louisiana, the state must give taxpayer dollars as a payout for poor attendance records. Given that last season saw the lowest NBA attendance of any NBA team for the Hornets, the state has forked over millions to the Hornets. So how does the NBA thank the downtrodden Louisiana citizens in their time of need, after they have paid so much taxpayer moolah to the Hornets? They move away, perhaps for good. Now that I live in the suburbs of Washington, DC, maybe I can become a Wizards fan. How about creating NBA crimes dot com just to house that material?
Perhaps I should establish NHL crimes dot com, now that the wife of all time Hockey Great Wayne Gretsky has been implicated in a sports betting scandal. Some news accounts accuse Wayne himself of being privy to his wife's goings on.

O.J. was found NOT GUILTY of murder by a Jury of his peers, and yet he has been crucified by Fred Goldman. I still say that Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered as part of a drug killing--why else where they killed with a Colombian necktie? O.J. Was crucified in the media, but he was found NOT GUILTY of murder. Far be it for me to condone armed robbery, but if O.J. did commit a robbery to get his own stuff back, then he had no choice but to steal HIS Memorabilia back, because everything he owns is now property of that self-serving no good sonofabitch Fred Goldman!
The most dangerous place in Peoria, Arizona is between Fred Goldman and a news camera. Goldman sued for millions of dollars over the death of his son, whose lifetime earning potential as a waiter was probably far less than the $33.5-Million judgment awarded to him. Some of that money was for Punative damages. How can you punish someone who was found NOT GUILTY? That unfair $33.5M Judgement eliminated any hope of O.J. being able to ever live in peace. Anything to stick-it-to-da-man Fred Goldman should be justified...$33.5M simoleons for a waiter? Gimmie a break dude!
HELLO PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES, O.J. Was found NOT GUILTY of the crime of murder in a criminal Jury trial, yet he has had to surrender everything to GOLDMAN because, while the Constitution prohibits double jeopardy, in our warped system of justice, one can still be sued and punished in civil court with a "preponderance of the evidence" quite a different standard than "reasonable doubt".
Now comes word that this whole robbery thing was a SET UP, and now O.J. is in trouble all because he tried to fight back against an unfair, racist, discriminatory double jeopardy system where a person found Not Guilty for something in criminal court can still be tried again in civil court and punished/held financially liable!!!
O.J. WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY--that is an indisputable fact--that he was found Not Guilty of Murder by a Jury trial (whether or not he committed the crime is moot, the undisputable fact is, he was found NOT GUILTY in a court of law), under the standard of "reasonable doubt" set fourth by the founding fathers....and he continues to pay the price.

Crimes in other pro sports
Feb 12--After the NFL Pro Bowl tonight, the NFL Season has officially ended. Updates to this blog may be less frequent until Pre-season starts.
Several friends and colleagues have asked me to establish sites for other sports like MLBCRIMES.COM or NBA crimes dot com (there would certainly be no shortage of material), but I am a football fan first and foremost. Here is an aside of the real crime in sports, and it is not NFL related--the NBA's slighting of Louisiana.
Now that my NBA team, the New Orleans Hornets, are going to play most of next season in Oklahoma City, there is no since in me setting up a basketball crimes site.
NBA Commissioner David Stern is guilty of the worst crime in all of sport, in that he would rather have more profitable sellout crowds in OKC than have the New Orleans Hornets where they belong..in New Orleans to honor their commitment to the State of Louisiana Taxpayers who paid them untold millions to re-locate the team from Charlotte, sign a long term commitment to Louisiana, and upgrade the New Orleans arena to NBA standards--Never mind that it was specifically built to NBA standards at the time of construction to house the Minnesota Timberwolves. Remember, in a lawsuit, the court held that the Timberwolves signed the agreement to move to New Orleans in bad faith, and never had any intention of going to New Orleans. They just wanted to force the hand of the Minnesota legislature to get a new arena in Minnesota. So you had a world class, debt free, purpose built NBA arena sitting vacant for several years hosting local events (notably a minor league hockey team).
And under the deal the Hornets negotiated with Louisiana, the state must give taxpayer dollars as a payout for poor attendance records. Given that last season saw the lowest NBA attendance of any NBA team for the Hornets, the state has forked over millions to the Hornets. So how does the NBA thank the downtrodden Louisiana citizens in their time of need, after they have paid so much taxpayer moolah to the Hornets? They move away, perhaps for good. Now that I live in the suburbs of Washington, DC, maybe I can become a Wizards fan. How about creating NBA crimes dot com just to house that material?
Perhaps I should establish NHL crimes dot com, now that the wife of all time Hockey Great Wayne Gretsky has been implicated in a sports betting scandal. Some news accounts accuse Wayne himself of being privy to his wife's goings on.
