I think OJ thought his fame would "buy" his way out of this and that was his undoing. He got a lawyer who is one of those talking heads so often on CNN, a real big kahuna. The prosecutors offered OJ a plea bargain, which the average Joe would have probably taken, but OJ, with his kahuna lawyer, didn't think that was good enough. So, OJ got what was actually a run of the mill, maybe even a little less, sentence for a perp who refused to take the deal. This time, the jury knew it too. The Emperor finally was seen to have no clothes.

Yeah, most people would have gotten less, because their lawyers aren't tv stars whose stock goes down if they cop a plea.

So long, OJ, enjoy the showers.


You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
