O.J.'s Alleged Robbery - Audio

31. I am getting some responses in e-mail from those who don't want to post here. Well, that's fine, I will respect their desire for anonymity, but I think I made a few points worth posting, so I will add my responses to them here. If they wish to rebut, they are welcome to do so here or in e-mails. But please, if you are going to e-mail me, how about following the same rules that you have to use here and leave out the F word and various other expletives that do nothing at all to convince me you are right.

1:
In my latest post, I have clarified the prejudice issue. I was not referring to race, prejudice is not confined to race. It has not been proven that it was a robbery, no one has come up with any guns as far as I know. The one guy claiming there were guns is a thief trying to avoid trouble. OJ is not the only one saying there were no guns involved.

Yes, it may be kidnapping, no matter if there were guns or not. I don't know the exact legal definition of kidnapping, so it may be unlawful detention, in either case, OJ did say it. We can't see if that was actually carried out, so it will likely require testimony under oath to determine if it went beyond words. There is also considerably more tape to be heard. So all I am saying is that people need to hear all of it, not just the tapes, but the testimony as well. before deciding what OJ did or didn't do and what the level of guilt is of everyone else in the room.

2:
Thank you ***,
I am having a nice day, especially now. I always enjoy ruffling the feathers of someone who is judgmental. I do not know if OJ is guilty of murder or not. I watched his trial and what I saw was a bumbling police department and district attorney’s office that blew any chance of OJ being convicted. He may very well be a murderer, but the evidence was botched and contaminated. Had they let what they really found speak for itself, OJ might already be in prison for the rest of his life. But we have a legal system for a reason. You may be aware that numerous people have been proven not to have committed the crimes they were found guilty of and have been set free because of DNA evidence over the past few years. But now, even if new DNA evidence were discovered that proved OJ did it, nothing could be done. It is absolutely imperative that our police are obeying the laws so that the guilty don't go free.

As for this case, so far we haven't seen or heard anything but that tape, and it certainly sounds favorable to OJ. There isn't one thing in that part of the tape that suggests he did anything wrong other than swear a few more times than you did in the e-mail you just sent me. Perhaps when the rest of the tapes surface, it will expose OJ in some guilty fashion, but nothing so far has done that. You have judged OJ and you are not worthy to judge him. Be free of your prejudice or you won't be worthy to be on any jury.

After accusing me of being dumb, and I won't bother getting into the real meaning of the word, you might want to go back and re-read you e-mail to me. I take it that English is not your first language?

33. I hope OJ was wearing gloves. It's his only hope of getting off this one! I do hope that OJ will FINALLY do the time in jail that he should have got years ago. He is GUILTY now as well as when he brutially murdered Nicole and Ron. He got off with those murders because Judge Ito was scared of more LA Riots!

34. lets face it oj was found not guilty by a jury of he's peers let the guy try to live a normal life, if he killed his wife and her boyfriend ron goldman he will face a much higer judge when its time.... if all of you watched the trial and bronco chase, you would have known that the guy oj, could not have done this alone. how come nobody ask maybe his eldist son might have been envolved. watch as his bronco chase ends, and you will see his son come running over to the bronco and oj push him back as if to say i'll take care of it . don't worry son they have nothing on me the glove you wore won't fit my hand !! i'll be cleared of the crime, and only me you and god will know.. you know that you can't be tried twice for the same crime thats double jeperdy, so the feds find a way to get you one way or another. so if your thinking you can get away with a crime, rember that there could be a audio tape or a vidio tape rolling at any time day or night or at any place.. p.s. nobody should judge anybody at anytime,

35. Bottom line, this recording proves two things. OJ's stupidity with not letting the police address the issue (though he does make a valid point that they haven't been helpful following his acquittal of the murders...as we can all see, the world has a grudge against him for not going down)...and the second thing is critical...THAT THOSE ITEMS WERE HIS, AND THAT "MIKE" HAD APPARENTLY STOLEN THEM WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE OTHER PARTY TRYING TO SELL THEM--THEY ARE THE THIEVES HERE!

It's easy to say you'd call the cops, but 3 out of 4 of you & your macho friends (let along big old ex football players) if you knew who stole your stuff, you go right over and demand it under threat of asskicking, just like OJ...so please don't act all righteous.

36. OJ IS A THUG GANGSTER AND A MURDER WHO BOUGHT HIS WAY OUT OF JUSTICE. JOHNNIE NOT AROUND TO SAVE HIS BUTT KNOW LOCK HIM UP AND THROW THE KEY AWAY. HE IS NOT BULLET PROOF ANYMORE!!!

37. First, the Goldmans' have the rights to the property but they are still O.J.'s until he turns them over. It's like owning a car....a burglar stills the car from me not the bank although technically the bank owns the car. With all that said....whether OJ thought that these guys had his stuff or not...how stupid do you have to be to get yourself in the middle of this? You are one of the most hated and most watched person on the planet...keep your nose clean and stay out of trouble...go golfing...now you are going to have the book thrown at you not necessarily due to this case but because everyone feels that they have to make up for the mistake that was made in the past. Just stupid, stupid, stupid.

39. OJ be gilty dawgz!!! He be rite dat book "If I did it" az a tribute to hiz dead wife and his too kidz. Wasn't dat nice of him?

What kind of father writes a "fictional" account of murdering the mother of his children? I feel really sorry for his kids.

I agree with the other comments about Fred Goldman; what a "despicable hypocrite" to use Fred's own words. Blood money baby!!!

40. OJ didn't know how to stay out of trouble. I got ripped off on Ebay and i wrote the guy an e-mail and gave him a great lecture about the noble creature "man," and then asked him are you a person out to do the world some good, or a common thief.
He wrote back " a common thief."
Couldn't do anything. i was pissed and I wanted to go to Florida and get justice, but I got over it .
Maybe a hurricane took him out.
Better to be a small person and be content than a great man that gets enraged and can't control it.
All the numbers OJ owed were in the millions. That stuff was only worth some thousands.

poor OJ.

Greatness. Isn't that great.

I think he will have some years of contemplative life after this incident. He can become a great monk in there. I just don't think he's going to walk away from this.

41. All day long, these charges will be very difficult to prove in any court of law. It apears that OJ, a hated man by many, whom I just happened to never like even before the murder charges, would have much trouble getting a fair trial. It clearly looks like entrapment to me. I don't like him but he deserves better treatment. Then again, he hasn't attempted to walk a fine line since his last troubles. What a dumb idea with the book, now this man went to USC. If he was going to put out a book, it should have had a lot of focus on trying to clean up his image, and maybe try to live up to the "Not Guilty" verdict.

42. I personal think that what is going on with O.J. Simpsons life. Is a reminder of all the wrong doings that he has to endure for the pain and suffering that he has made his Wife & friends & family go threw. I fully understand that he was found not Guilty for Killing his wife and her friend. But only a couple of people know the truth and God . He knows the truth thats why he acts in theses foolish ways . The man had it all but instead he hurt the one person supposingly loved his with and family. yes I may be young and stupid But dawm I am PROUD to be married to my wife going on 16 wonderfeill years in may 2007 we dont have much But ill tell you what I was diagnosed with uncontrollable seizures 4 years ago and my wife has stuck with me threw some really bad time I mean your allowed to tell someone you love them when one day we were together buying goods at a Home Depot store at our local store then all of a sudden out of no where I had an episode so bad that I soilled and urinated my clothes during my episode I think I scrared the employees and some kids and customers but mean while my wife never once belillted me instead she helped me get to the restroom cleaned me up then tryed to dry my pants the best she could and she walked me out of threre with PRIDE I have never felt so loved in my life know that a wife. And thats why I get so Pissed of and very upset when I hear of men mistreating of sometimes killing there wifes. I have always beleived that if you treat a woman with respect and treat them yhe way you would like to be treated the love will last. But if you pull an O.J. and try to keep a woman on lookdown she will meet a nicer man and once that happens take it like a man and you go your way and let her go hers. I dont think that O.J. Understood the meaning of love when he had Nicole I think he was verbally abusive and many more things towards her. I trully feel that alot of people dont know what Love Is. I hate to admit it but I leranned when I became ill But I wont bore you. As for O.J. Let him keep putting his foot in his mouth maybe this time they will actuall y catch him on video. His vacation time is up his husband in prison is getting inpatient P.S O.J. keeping your bunk side warm.

43. How come no one has mentioned here that one of the men he was robbing ,threatning ,strongarming, whatever is now saying he doesn't want to press charges and the other is in mt. siani hospital after having a heart attack, and if you read or listen to all the reports this all leads back to mr Goldman? I am in no way an OJ supporter, but this all sounds kinda fishy to me,#18 the oracle makes a good point there are so many OJ haters in the world the trial for this will probably only be revenge for murder.

Judge Not Lest You Be Judged.....................

44. I can not believe that O.J. would even still consider the items to belong to him. After such a narrowing escape from a previous trial that almost cost him his freedom, he's still acting foolish. Like the old saying goes. "Once a fool, always a fool." I don't know what will come out of this situation, but whatever the result, O.J. need to sit his ass down somewhere. Or: the system will do it for him. Such a shame.... Years later and now you want to trip. Well one thing is for sure. He can't hire Johnny Cochran on this one. Damn! What a jerk

45. Kidnapping charges are a slam-dunk, no matter who owned the stuff. He had armed allies with him and he told them not to let anyone leave. Even if there were no robbery, the kidapping is a slam-dunk.

But armed theft of property that is involved in a court dispute is armed robbery even if the court dispute is not yet resolved. The proper people to seize such property are not the people who claim ownership but rather police or marshalls duly authorized by a court. Taking such property at gunpoint from anyone physically possessing it is armed robbery unless you are acting under a warrant.

If he gets off this time, then yes the justice system is seriously broken in this country.
