O.J. Simpson Behind Bars - Justice For The Juice?

LibertySugar — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:00:00 -0800

After so many years it's hard to believe that O.J. Simpson will serve up to 33 years of jail time not for the crime of murder, but for kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy convictions. Even though this case had nothing to do with them, the Goldman family attended the sentencing hearing yesterday. Ron Goldman's father Fred made an emotional statement afterward, saying that if his family's actions to recover their $33.5 million wrongful-death verdict over the last decade caused O.J. to commit armed robbery, then great!

Fred told press outside the courtroom: "We are thrilled, and it's a bittersweet moment. It was satisfying seeing him in shackles like he belongs."

While both the judge and the Goldmans said the sentence had nothing to do with Simpson's previous actions, we'll never know whether O.J. would have received the same punishment if he never was charged with murder. Do you think that justice has been served?

Guilty Simpson On Own in Jail, Focused on Coming Appeal

CitizenSugar — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 12:53:11 -0700

After being found guilty of kidnapping and robbery, OJ Simpson is being being held away from other prisoners for his own safety, and is planning a motion for new trial. He's waiting to see if he'll be released on bond pending that appeal, a move considered unlikely due to the seriousness of the crimes he was convicted of. His attorney said Simpson will be alone, is planning not to do media interviews and is allowed to see only family members and a few friends.

Simpson will be held in Clark County Detention Center until his early December sentencing, then it's thought he'll be transferred to state prison. His lawyer says, "He is in isolated custody and being protected from other inmates. The jail is taking very special precautions to make sure he is safe." Surprised at the guilty verdict? Do you think it was payback by the jury? Are you into the OJ saga - or is the juice just not worth the squeeze?

(Fake) Interviews With Jay Leno

GiggleSugar — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 03:00:00 -0800

Leno is a chip off the old Barbara Walters! Watch him chat it up with four of the most controversial men over the past few years. From O.J. to Clinton to "Dubya" to Wacko Jacko, Leno is somehow able to finesse the most candid and incriminating answers out of his interviewees. Might there be any crafty editing at play here? Nah.

Crazy Fan: Celebrity Defender

Remember the fan-atic who screamed out in anguish when Paris Hilton was sentenced more jail time? Well, now that OJ's in trouble, the crazy dude is ba-ack. Decked out in a "I Heart Famous People" ball cap, he makes a habit of appearing outside the courthouses of all the newsworthy celeb trials. His mission is to voice his support, make a scene and give everyone a huge headache (excluding those of us who find him highlarious). I heart him. (But shouldn't he spend his time attending to those teef of his?)

Chris Rock: Psychic?

GiggleSugar — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 15:30:00 -0800

This Chris Rock promo to his HBO show 10 years ago has a few mild laughs at the beginning, but wait for the end when he spoofs the title to a hypothetical OJ Simpson book. My question is, is Chris psychic or is OJ so weird he actually stole this title?!

OJ Simpson's New Book: If I Did It

GiggleSugar — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 16:40:00 -0800

Regan Books, publishers of such gems as porn star Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love like a Porn Star and Hillis Gillespie's Confessions of a Recovering Slut, has decided to publish a bizarre OJ Simpson book called If I Did It. In this heart-warming tale, sure to be a favorite Christmas stocking-stuffer, Simpson describes how he would have committed the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, you know, if he actually had. Huh?!

Anyway, instead of making the obvious editorial comment on this, I decided instead to give Regan Books some ideas for future titles. Enjoy...

Chris Crocker Sez: Leave O.J. Alone!!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0700

Yeah, not really. But if he did, it would sound like this. (For all you C.C. haters, at least he's defending a kind of sympathetic character, right?) Click here to see my fave CC vid.
