Link

Wow. I mean, the glove didn't fit and the jury did acquit. :o

[spoiler] Confirmed what we already knew [/spoiler]

Real?

Wow are you kidding me.:|

What is happening?

Is anyone really surprised?DavidianMH

And he'll never serve a second in prison for the murder.

Someone trying to make up a story. So ridiculous. Until I actually hear it from a credible source, I'm sticking with my "he's innocent" belief. Bring me more evidence than that.

But does it have da gloviage?

Oprah's representative has denied the report.

I guess we'll never know now. ;)

And here I thought it was Miss Scarlett with the pipewrench in the library. ;)

I still don't think he did it. Officer Nordberg wouldn't even hurt a fly.

I knew it,

Buscemi the Bum off of Big Daddy was right,

You're welcome.

Considering that the link debunking the story was ignored by several people and their posts went on about the fake confession it will probably need to be reposted at least every five posts or so.

I still don't think he did it. Officer Nordberg would never do such a thing. -Sun_Tzu-

I don't think anyone is that stupid, to confess to murdering folks after getting away with it.

But, you never know...might be

If OJ actually committed the murders and later confessed to it after being acquitted double jeopardy would prevent him from being criminally charged for it again. Technically, the day after his acquittal he could walk down the streets saying in detail how it took place and the worst he would probably face would be perjury charges if he lied on the stand (and if I'm not mistaken he didn't even take the stand during the trial, but I was only 13 at the time when the trial took place so I don't remember).

Confessing would do little more than remove doubt from people who still say he's innocent since the vast majority of people today that I know of think he did it. What I do remember from back then was since I grew up in the southern half of Atlanta most people thought he was innocent and was being framed by Mark Fuhrman and the LAPD. Later, when I moved to another area more diverse people would say they thought he got away with murder.

Confess? With double jeopardy in effect, he is essentially bragging.foxhound_fox

He didn't serve time though so he can't be held under double jeopardy, can he?Ace6301

Double Jeopardy mostly exists to prevent someone from constantly being retried for a crime till they run into an unfriendly jury and get convicted for something they did not do.

And as part of the quick and speedy trial thing (ain't quick and speedy if you have to do it 5 times)

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="Ace6301"]He didn't serve time though so he can't be held under double jeopardy, can he?Ace6301

No. The 'double jeopardy' rule exists to keep someone from being maliciously prosecuted for the same crime over and over until the prosecution finally gets the desired result.

Frankly, if OJ did it and got away is of little matter now, since he's now serving 30 years for an unrelated crime.

this looks like a job for Leslie Nielsen !!! :o
