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.

THE JUICE IS......IN DEBT WHILE IN PRISON

The big news about OJ Simpson is that he is deep in tax debt with over $500,000 in arrears to Uncle Sam. I fail to see how this is relevant given the several considerations to be taken into account. OJ Simpson is in prison because while he was not convicted of the murders of his ex wife and Ron Goldman he was found guilty of the following crimes in 2008:

• Count 1: Conspiracy to Commit a Crime

• Count 2: Conspiracy to Commit Kidnapping

• Count 3: Conspiracy to Commit Robbery

• Count 4: Burglary while in Possession of a Deadly Weapon

• Count 5: 1st Degree Kidnapping with Use of a Deadly Weapon 

• Count 6: 1st Degree Kidnapping with Use of a Deadly Weapon

• Count 7: Robbery with Use of a Deadly Weapon 

• Count 8: Robbery with Use of a Deadly Weapon 

• Count 9: Assault with a Deadly Weapon 

• Count 10: Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Simpson will not be paroled until 2017 and that's if and only if he is found eligible. I have a question and that question is: How will the IRS  get its money from OJ? Simpson lost his house as well as his $11million dollar fortune and has over $33 million dollars in debt stemming from the wrongful death suit he lost to the Goldman and Brown families.

I doubt the IRS will see a dollar from OJ and the truth of the matter is that after he served nearly two years in prison while on trial and after his nine years are up he will care little. What will a 70 year old man (in 2017) have to lose at that point? Simpson is a clear example of someone whose destructive nature overwhelmed his common sense. I remember hearing that after he was found innocent he would face his Waterloo. I guess this is it for OJ and I can't say I feel sorry for the guy.

I am sure that like every two faced piece of garbage that squandered every advantage he ever achieved through hard work he is likely to find God, Jesus, or maybe L. Ron Hubbard.

JUSTICE IS A BITCH......REALLY

I don't know why I am particularly moved to write about justice maybe I am bored or maybe I am running out of material but at any rate I am doing it because I can. People love to say that justice is blind, but, is justice balanced? I ask because the symbol of justice is a scale. I am no philosopher but as a child conducting basic science experiments in school scales were used for weight distribution examples with little gram weights.

It was easy to see that more weight in one side meant that the scale would tip that way. Now I want to pose a question: If that weight is previledge, wealth, and power in case where someone was abused in some unfair way is justice really blind? I guess it's a really hard question to answer.

I wonder if the people that thought OJ Simpson was guilty felt that justice was really blind. Justice is not a person we can influence but it does carry an outcome we can influence if we are smart. Was justice really served in the Casey Anthony trial when all the evidence seemed to point in her direction? Is capitalizing on a weak prosecutor's inability to establish a plausible case really an example of justice being blind?

If we really look at things from a practical point point of view we can say that yes justice is blind and that handicap is a disadvantage that creates outcomes not always favorable to visible reality. Justice is blind and it's also a bitch because it can really be made to accommodate cases that really don't merit it.
