Celebrity Justice
Shocker! Judge Says O.J.'s a Flight Risk

Posted Sep 17th 2007 2:15PM by TMZ Staff

O.J. Simpson has been deemed a flight risk by a Nevada judge, and thus he's on a "no bail" hold, says a "media judge" appointed to his criminal case. Wonder how they got that idea?

What's more,he'll have to see a judge within 72 hours of his arrest -- by Wednesday morning. No bail request has been made by the judge, said Clark County, Nev., media judge Nancy Oesterle at a press conference just moments ago, but Judge Ann Zimmerman will determine what bail will be, if any, on Wednesday morning. If the D.A. fails to turn in an official complaint by then, O.J. could walk away a free man.

Oesterle also said that she believes that certain members of the media will be allowed into the meeting, and helpfully pointed out that if O.J. can't afford an attorney, the court will appoint one for him.

By the way, forget #32, The Juice's new number, as in booking number, is 2648927. Wonder if that'll fit on the back of an NFL jersey.

4. "OJ can't afford an attorney, the court will appoint one for him."

I say let him use the money he's been using to look for the "real" killers.

5. Jesse and I will be there to make sure they don't trample the rights of our African American brother.

6. The judge on Wed. should either keep it "no bail" or make it several $millions cash bail, or else the juice just might leave and escape from the U.S. If he has 10% of a brain left, he knows he could spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.

7. either way, he is screwed. If he has to pay for an attourney, Good! If he gets a public defender....I still think he is screwed.

9. Hey, what's the problem?
The guys he robbed were white, weren't they?

10. would it be legally actionable to write a book called "if I killed OJ" and say how you'd kill him if ....if you could?

11. The DA better not drop the ball on this one and let him walk. NO BAIL! No more Bronco chases!

To Rev Al Sharpton: Why is it that OJ needs Jesse and the Rev to protect him? This has nothing to do with being African American. He's a thug and a killer who just happens to be African American.

15. This is not about race.
It's about wheter or not some people are above the law.
If Simpson did the crime, he should serve the time.
Just like poor people do.
