78. Am I the only one who thinks this guy (the "victim") is preparing for his civil case? Can doctors confirm chest pains? Hmmmm....interesting. I agree with someone who says there is much more to this story than meets the eye.

Even though OJ got off freely on a murder rap that he clearly should have gone to jail for, he went through the system and that was how things came out. I think this case is different and he should just be charged and tried for this case and for the one that he has already been tried for.

83. I'm surprised so many people feel OJ shouldn't be prosecuted. The reports and the transcripts of the recording suggest these memorabilia items were things OJ gave to one of the "victims" in order to keep the Goldman's from taking possession of as a part of their settlement. The "victim" apparently was going to sell them after holding on to them for over 10 years for OJ. What OJ did was he was trying to thwart the legal system. What the "victim" did was also wrong, but OJ had no right to take the law into his own hands. No wonder OJ didn't call the police to report his items "stolen". Also no wonder he didn't ask the police to recover his items for him. No one has clean hands here, but the bottom line is, he had no right to take the law into his own hands like that.

85. WILL THE DEALERS BE CHARGE FOR THEFT? THEY ARE GUILTY ALSO. WHERE DID THESE ITEMS COME FROM. HE MAY HAVE ALREADY HAD A BAD HEART. WHAT A SETUP U FELL INTO OJ.

86. Goldmans Setup, you have it all wrong. They did not steal the items. OJ gave it to the one guy years ago in order to avoid letting the Goldman's and the Brown's from having it. The Goldman's and Brown's were awarded those items as part of their civil settlement. OJ was trying to thwart the legal system and keep them from getting their hands on it. And he was successful for years. Then the "friend/victim" decided to sell. You can hear it clearly on the tape and read it in the transcripts where OJ says "I thought I could trust you with these".

Was the "dealer" wrong? You bet. For one thing he knew he was helping OJ hide his assets. He also knew it wasn't his to sell, yet he attempted to. BUT, was OJ right to come barging in, hold them hostage, take the law into his own hands waving guns around? No. Should his "friend/victim" lose his life over it? If you say yes, then that's pretty heartless. OJ had no right to take the law into his own hands and go barging in on two guys waving guns and shouting at him.

These items were NOT stolen. No theft report was ever filed. No claim was ever made they were stolen prior to OJ getting caught being a terrorist.

87. I pray that Mr. Fromog has made his peace with God, that he is trusting in Jesus for everything, and that all of the nurses and doctors treating him are persons of integrity who will not violate his privacy in order to make money selling any sort of "exclusive"
let's let the seriously ill (his heart stopped) man rest and heal, God willing.
