O.J. Simpson has finally been found guilty of something. The husband of the late Nicole Brown Simpson may well spend the rest of his life in prison. How strange that O.J.'s guilty verdict came exactly 13 years to the day after he was so infamously acquitted of the charge of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson.
The jury of nine women and three men deliberated for 13 hours, mulling weeks of testimony as well as hours of surreptitious audio recordings of the planning and execution of the event by Thomas Riccio, a memorabilia auctioneer who arranged the confrontation.
There were no blacks among the jurors, a concern of the defense that Mr. Simpson’s attorneys said would likely be part of an appeal. Eight of 12 jurors were black when he was acquitted in 1995 on charges that he stabbed to death his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. . . While Mr. Simpson’s famous acquittal in the 1994 murders was never discussed during the trial, it hung over the proceedings.
The judge, a woman, "refused a request to grant Simpson bail pending sentencing in December when he could face life imprisonment."
