THE JUICE WANTS TO GET LOOSE


OJ Simpson wants to go back to court in order to prove that he was wronged in more ways than one during his 2008 trial. Simpson was once a football hero and second tier actor that stood out as a superstar of sorts. Everyone will remember the many endorsements that made OJ the kind of star that transcended the football field. While OJ  would never win the ring he had an illustrious career that spanned from 68' to 79' and see him set legendary records on the field.

When you fast forward fifteen years Simpson was living a dream life with eleven million dollars, a mansion, and a set life. The big turning point was the brutal death of Simpson's ex wife and her "friend" Ron Goldman. The juice was put on trial and in the process introduced the name Kardashian to the world and showed everyone that the Bronco was a hell of a vehicle. The trial would span over a year and OJ would be found innocent to a mixed reaction. Everyone felt that Simpson was a clear example of how a celebrity with money could buy his way out of prison.

Many years after being found innocent, and losing a civil trial for wrongful death, Simpson went on with his life. Simpson was living like a rock star in a great Miami home and enjoying infamy as well. In 2007 Simpson would be accused of attempted kidnapping and would be sent to prison and has been there for the last four years. The juice now wants a new trial where he can explain that he was grossly misrepresented and was the victim of bad council, and prejudice.

The sad aspect of this new proceeding is the fact that Simpson is an old, heavy, arthritic man whose life seems to be near an end. Simpson doesn't want to die in jail but the truth of the matter is that given his track record he is not likely to get what he wants. Simpson will more than likely have to serve at least nine years and get paroled for good behavior when he turns 70. Everyone believes Simpson is guilty of murder and the way the evidence points at him it's likely that he is. Simpson doesn't want to pay any dues but unfortunately for him life doesn't work that way.
