How is it bad? He was under a fair trial and he was found "Not Guilty" by a machine that tested his DNA. He is just saying that "If he did it that way" to show that he wouldnt have done it that way. He just wants some money. People do stupid things to get money. For example, little kids would eat worms for like a nickel.


It's bad because of the fact that he was found guilty of murder in the personal lawsuit between him and the families of the people he killed. He has not paid them a dime (or even a penny) of the money that he is legally obligated to pay them.

Guilty? He was found not guilty for murder. How are you even saying that he killed them? Do you even know the story of OJ Simpson? Go do some research before posting here.

When someone is tried for murder, there are two cases. One, which has to do with jail time, is the criminal case where he was found innocent. This case requires that murder be proven without a shadow of a doubt. However, there is another case, the civil suit. It is the case between the family of the deceased and the accused murderer. This case simply requires that it be very likely that the person committed the murder. If the family wins the case, the murderer will have to pay them a certain amount of damages. OJ Simpson won the first case and lost the second. He was found guilty in the second court. Don't assume before you accuse people of not knowing the information.

And if you don't believe me, here's the Wikipedia site which backs me up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OJ_Simpson. Look under civil trial.

He cant even be tried for the same case. Under the constitution, people are protected from being tried for the same case so I dont know what you're talking about.

There's a difference between a criminal case and a civil suit. One is suing for jail time and one is suing for damages. They are two different cases under American law. If you don't believe me, go to the link and look at the Civil Trial section.

Do you think someone who didnt do a crime and got blamed for it would write a book about how he would have done it? He was sick when he murdered the two people and if he wasnt a sick person he probably wouldnt have killed the person or wrote a book on it. OJ like 98.567254645% prolly did it.

He is doing it just for the money. Its a big world anyways. Anyone could have killed his wife and the waiter.

He probably is doing it for the attention as well. A person like him, accustomed to fame, could easily have a need to be in the spotlight for any reason, even if it gives a bad impression of him. Not anyone could have killed the people and OJ really was the only suspect and the only person who had the knowledge to commit the murders. If he hadn't committed the murderers, why would he have run from the police after the warrant was put out for his arrest?

Why would anyone else run from the police? because they might also have some bad backgrounds like drug dealing or other arrests. If a cop was after you, you would probably run, knowing that you might have done something wrong.

That doesn't matter. They were arresting him for murder. If he didn't commit the murder then he wouldn't have anything to fear. Any searches done to his house or his assets would ONLY be looking for evidence of murder. If they found something relating to another crime, it would not be admissible in court. If a cop was after me I most definitely would not run if I had not committed that crime.

Well you wouldnt know because you would react by instinct. If a cop was running after you, you would run too because of instant reactions.

No, no I wouldn't. Not only have I been in a circumstance like that and not run, but I also allow my thought processes to kick into place before I make a rash action.

I cant really understand your sentences properly because of some grammar issues so I read it on my own ways on what I thought you typed.
Anyways, if you were in that circumstance, it probably wasnt as bad. In New York, me and my friends run and scatter when we see the cops because we panic and we thought we did something wrong. Like when we are in the park late at night.

I don't see how that really pertains to OJ Simpson. The fact is, he knew the police were coming for him and he should not have allowed his instincts to take control of him for such a long period of time.

He couldve thinked that he was being arrested for drugs. Also people cant stop instincts from happening. Like when someone is going to hit you, are you just going to let him hit you or just stand still? Go ask someone to try and hit you. See what happens and then tell me that you can stop instincts, unless your mentally different or lack that instinct.

Instincts happen instantaneously. He had to get in his car, start the engine, start driving, and continue driving. That isn't instantaneous. Your mind CAN control instincts given enough time. It wasn't as if he was putting himself in immediate physical harm. Also, as far as I am aware of he didn't use drugs. Where did you get that from? Even if he did, he must have realized that running wouldn't have helped him one bit and would have solely elongated his jail time. By the way, it isn't "thinked," it's "thought."
