OJ Simpson Jury: We Stuck To The Law - Page 2
"It would have been a very weak case," said Dora Pettit. Another juror David Wieberg chimed in, "Yes, a weak case," and other jurors nodded in agreement.
It also seems that five of the twelve thought that OJ should have been found guilty in his famous double-murder trial. However, they said that their belief in his guilt did not in any way influence their decision in this trial.
And that is how it should be. The verdict in this trial will never make up for the verdict in the other trial. As much as so many of us hate to face it, he was found not guilty (NOT innocent, as his apologists like to say), and that was that. He can't be tried again for that crime. However, OJ does seem to be getting payback for thinking that he is above the law and can do as he likes, an undercurrent in the previous trial as well as this one. Plus, had he not been trying to hide (and subsequently retrieve) memorabilia from the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, maybe this wouldn't have happened. So perhaps the two are linked in more than just the obvious.
But let's face it, OJ is probably not going to spend the rest of his life behind bars, unless he only plans on living another five years or so. I mean, it could happen...the man is sixty-one years old. He could have a heart attack tomorrow, he could live another thirty years. But the general consensus on the interwebs is that he'll get about five years...which, with time off for good behavior and considering time already served, would get him about...three and a half days in jail.
Seems fair, right?
