OJ is soon to be a free man.
I still think it's utter bullshit that you can be fucked over many times (in criminal and civil court, then in an unrelated criminal case) for effectively the same unlawful activity. The argument is that a civil suit isn't double jeopardy because you can't be deprived of 'life or limb' by its verdict, because the prosecuting entity is different. But. if a judge issued a $33 million judgement on me, after supposedly being "innocent until proven guilty" (and being "not guilty" by a jury trial), I'd be feeling pretty deprived of life. Depending on how you default on civil debt, you can still end up in prison. Getting a 33 year sentence for a robbery where one of the victims won't comment on whether he had OJ's personal belongings... riiiggghhhhttt.
This has nada to do with whether I think OJ is a murderer, or scumbag.
For real OJ fun, watch Battle Of The Network Stars 2, with OJ and Bruce fucking Jenner as Cosell's co-hosts. Whoa.
