NEW YORK – Some commentators have made much of Judge Glass’ strong words to O.J. Simpson in court yesterday, but clearly only one thing mattered to O.J.: getting out of jail, which he did, after the brief tongue-lashing. He’s free again, as he will be until trial.
O.J. Simpson sits in court with attorney Yale Galanter.
How could the judge find he violated a condition of bail and yet spring him? Because he’s entitled to bail in this non-capital case. The judge did all that she could do: gave him a stern warning, raised the bail, required him to pay 15% of the new $250,000 amount. O.J.’s friends – he’s always got entourage – came up with the money, and he’s home free, again. As one of the few people who actually read O.J.’s 2007 book,” If I Did It,” I cannot help thinking of his vivid description of his long, tortured relationship with Nicole Brown Simpson, his explanation of he did it WHY he did it (hypothetically) — that skirt was too short for his taste on the last day of her life — and HOW he did it (hypothetically) — driving home via a different route than everyone thought. In my view, the only interpretation of his book is that he is now a confessed double murderer, and yet no jail can hold him. He’s a master at playing the system. – Lisa Bloom, In Session anchor Filed under: Lisa Bloom O.J. Simpson |
