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.

Jury Selection Begins In O J Robbery Case

O.J. Found GUILTY!! Oh sorry, just daydreaming the headline that I hope to see, after this latest trial is over!
The next chapter in the O.J. Simpson saga is getting under way in Las Vegas today, as jury selection begins in his next trial. I am smiling as I write this, because anyone who has read my earlier posts on O.J., knows that I do not give him the presumption of innocence on anything. "If he gets in trouble, he did it"!
I believe he is a double-murderer, who got away with it due to racial backlash, and his celebrity status. Therefore, anytime he gets into trouble for anything, I "hope" he is found guilty, and I really do not care if he is actually guilty or not, as long as there is "some" minimal payback for the earlier "murders". I realize that this makes me closed minded, but I am only that way on some things and this is one of them.
Seriously, how can there be 12 people, plus alternates, who do not already have an opinion of whether or not O.J. is guilty! If there are, how do they function in life?!

Anyway, with Sarcasm dripping from my every pore, here is the story of the soon to be found "guilty"(I hope), alleged robber/kidnapper, O.J. story at Yahoo News:

Nearly a year after O.J. Simpson walked into a casino hotel room intent on reclaiming some sports memorabilia, he and his lawyers walked into a courthouse Monday to pick jurors for his robbery-kidnapping trial.

After a morning hearing on remaining pretrial matters, prospective jurors were led into the courtroom and given an overview of the case, including the charges against Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart and the names of potential witnesses.

Judge Jackie Glass rejected a request by the defense to be allowed to ask potential jurors if they consider the fallen NFL star, actor and advertising pitchman a murderer.

"My determination is no, we are not going there," Glass said, noting that questionnaires filled out by prospects had asked whether they were familiar with Simpson's other trials and the verdicts in them.
