Opening Statements In O.J.'s Trial :)


"O.J FOUND GUILTY"~~Oh shoot we have to go through the whole silly trial, so that we can see that headline!
It is a happy day, as the opening statements are presented in O.J. Simpsons Robbery/Kidnapping trial. I am hoping that this is just window dressing and the guilty verdict is already a fait accompli, so he can quickly be sent to prison, where fellow inmates can exact the proper punishment for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, of which he was found not guilty, due to jury bias.
It will be an absolute joy to update this story as often as necessary until he is found quilty and sentenced. Seriously, this trial should have never taken place, as O.J. should have been waterboarded until he confessed and then thrown in prison forever~~just my humble opinion. In case you haven't noticed, I do not believe in the "innocent until proven guilty" justice system that we have, as lawyers have perverted the "seeking the truth" aspect into a game of winning and losing, and unfortunately money really does "buy" justice, which is another reason I have no respect for our system.
If a person is guilty, they should just go in to court, say they are guilty, take responsibility, and accept their punishment, and then go on to lead a better life, once they have served their time. It is good for the conscience and the soul!
Anyway the story at Yahoo News states:
A prosecutor told jurors Monday they will learn "the true face" of O.J. Simpson during the former football star's trial on charges of robbing sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.

Prosecutor Chris Owens began his opening statement by playing an audio recording of the confrontation and pointed out one voice barking commands: "Don't let nobody outta here ... stand the (expletive) up before it gets ugly in here."

Simpson, who flashed a thumbs-up sign when he arrived at court, sat impassively while Owens described the rest of the recording.

"The audio will show threats, it will show force, it will show demands and it will show the taking of property from the victims in this case," Owens said. "In our presentation of the evidence we are going to spend the next few days finding which may be the true face of ... Simpson, not necessarily the one he tries to put out to the world," Owens said.
