NEW YORK — Now, I don’t know if O.J. Simpson did intend to send some type of message to a co-defendant, or if he is guilty or innocent of the charges against him. But a couple of questions come immediately to mind.

First, why is O.J. even bothering to leave messages about a co-defendant that could expose him to these types of problems? You would think he would know by now to just keep his mouth shut and let his very talented lawyers do the talking for him Second, and perhaps more troubling, who is out there monitoring Simpson’s conversations and ultimately assuring that this one got into the hands of the prosecution?

It doesn’t appear to have been done by any agent of the prosecution, so who was it? And why? Even if you don’t like O.J. Simpson and even if you believe he got away with murder, it should concern you—and all of us—that somebody, without any court approval, could be out there listening in.

How would Clark County Nevada like to avoid an O.J. trial and all of its expenses?
All the prosecution has to do is tell Fred Goldman’s lawyers to stand at the clerk’s office with their hands out, collecting every $37,500 attempted to be paid on OJ’s behalf.
