Seems to me 13 years ago we were asked to swallow the verdict of not guilty for Mr. O.J. You must go by the law..put aside your feelings if you think he is guilty…go by the law..the law said..Not guilty. Now I see you are appalled..you are upset with the judge..you are upset with the jurors. Lets see…these men go into a hotel room with guns a blazing..they put the fear of God into two victims…I don’t know but my law book says…GUILTY!

In this country your guilty ,untill found innocent. I wonder if simpsons attorney now no what the1995 attorneys for the prosecution felt like seeing a guilty man get away with murder.Its amazing the public has no clue to how our system works You owe me one I owe you one . lawyers are just deal makers, the more money you have the better the deal.

Hi Jamie !

I respect you so much. I want to understand your position more. As a non-law person, I felt the Judge Glass kep a wonder ful command of the court and didn’t take —- from anyone. I was happy to see what I thought was fairness and not letting the big money lawyers control the court. After hearing you on In Session today – I find that you feel the opposite. Again, I respect your opinion sooo much, so can you explain it more and let me know how the Judge from somehow for the State ? I have an opened mind and would appreciate your input and insight in to the vast knowledge that you have over me. Please Respond. I do not want to base my thought on opinions only facts.

No doubt this verdict was all about payback for OJ.
However, CJ Stewart was never on trial in 1995 for a double
murder. Why should he be subject to a payback verdict?
How can anyone who wanted OJ put away for life justify
Cj’s conviction on this tainted testimony and fuzzy garbled
tapes?

AM I THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS NOTICED HOW VISUALLY UPSET THE OFFICER DIRECTLY BEHIND MR. STEWART IS DURING THE READING OF THE VERDICT? THEN AGAIN, BEHIND OJ WHEN HIS VERDICT IS READ? IT APPEARS THAT HE IS TRYING VERY HARD TO CONTROL HIS BREATHING. HE ACTUALLY LOOKS ANGRY. AS I AM ALSO A CORRECTIONS OFFICER, WE LEARN TO WATCH OUR SURROUNDINGS. AND THIS YOUNG MAN IS ANGRY. NO DOUBT.

Jamie, I aggree with you. This jurors conviction was clear and simply payback. Nothing less nothing more. There was an elephant in the court room- which is OJ’s murder acquittal in 1995. I refuse to believe otherwise.

I just heard Jaime Floyd state as one of her reasons to disagree with the verdict is this: The audio tapes were made for profit!!!!!! Well duh……that should only make you mad at the 2 men doing the taping. those tapes went on to PROVE what went on in the room and hallway!! Get a clue Jaime, they went to prove his guilt! It showed all of us what was said and who said it. Therefore a crime was heard by all of us! CAN’T YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH?

I think it’s a sad commentary style for you to give personal opinions about OJ. I also feel a strong sense of your “trying to change the publics minds” as you said just prior to this last break. You are not in a position to change our minds, as you can see we have already heard the court discussion, etc. Not very professional I might add.

Jami, you characterized the Simpsom family as having been victimized for the last 13 years. By whom? O.J.???

As someone who truly believes that OJ Simpson murdered his wife and Ron Goldman and someone who also believes that OJ is an arrogant SOB who has always felt he was above the law, I was quite confused as to how I felt when I heard the 12 Guilty verdicts read. I felt uncomfortable. Something felt wrong. And then this morning hearing the interview with the jury members, I REALLY felt uncomfortable. Although ignorant to the laws of Nevada, and jury instructions given; I watched the trial everyday and at the end I thought to myself. If a juror on this case I could not have voted guilty on the kidnapping and perhaps the conspiracy charges.

Simpsons attourney just can’t see even what the law says. You can ‘t conspire to steal back your own stuff, with guns. That is not the way its done or the Nevada law.
If the verdict would have been the other, there would be no winning on the jury.
Guns were not mentioed on the tape because, OJ knew they were there, it was no surprise to him . He said to act the way they did, and
that is the last word

Am one of those who did not pay much attention to the trial under discussion. Were guns involved & were people tied up? Believe that is what I heard mentioned. If that’s the case, can understand the guily verdict.

It isn’t “payback” Jami….it is guilty “men” found guilty. What did CJ Stewart do, but commit a crime? He wasn’t on trial for dbl. murder, ever. Guess they were trying to pay him back too? If you choose to feel sorry, fell sorry for him. With all of the focus you are throwing on OJ, you are making people forget that he too is in jail. Be sure to feel sorry for him, too, or feel sorry for none of them. I feel sorry for his attorney, Yale Galanter, who lost the case and is taking it very personally and “unprofessionally”. Guess OJ has a lot of time to “dream about another team” to get him out of jail.

How many times must we calibrate the “scales of justice” in order to satisfy our own vendictive appetites? We all know “darn well” these jurors had an agenda and if we dare to calibrate the “scales” in according to their personal thoughts of OJ Simpson, we would certainly expect this verdict. However, we would also “tweek” the “scales” just a little more, so that we can be just as outraged at these jurors, as were of the jurors in OJ’s acquittal 13 years ago!!!!
This was not justice, there is a different sentencing for murder, but then again he was acquitted for murder……… and this recent conviction for “robbery” is just a “good old fashion vendetta”.

I don’t think there’s anything “tragic” about Simpson’s so-called “fall.” Everything that’s happened to him has been brought on by his own actions, but the punishment for his sins is long overdue. I heard you on your program today talking to his attorney, both of you whining about how unfair the jury was, and virtually accusing them of racism and prejudice. Now, you and I both know if he had been found NOT guilty, you’d be on there gushing about how well the “system works.” Just because someone who is guilty is found guilty doesn’t mean there was racism and prejudice on the jury’s part. I realize you, and other defense attorneys, don’t think anyone should ever be found responsible for anything, for any reason or for any crime, but it’s gonna happen. Sometimes, just sometimes, they’re actually guilty.

I think that in all the tribulations of the trial and the ensuing aftermath,one side of the case has been ignored,i.e. The People vs the Defendants.The people deserve some consideration too!

Why didn’t OJ go thru legal steps to get his STUFF back in the first place?

YES, I BELIEVE THAT OJ IS GUILTY AS CHARGED. HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE COMFORTS OF “HOME” AGAIN…..HOPFULLY HIS NEW ADDRESS WILL BE NICE AND COZY BEHIND THE COLD METAL BARS OF A LOVELY PRISON SOMEWHERE.

There is no way that the jury could not have the murder case in the back of their minds, because the prosecution mentioned it and even though the judge objected, it was still mentioned. In a way good will come out of it if he is sentenced, because all the money-hungry people who use his past fame to make money will have to look for someone else.

The prosecution met the burden of proof and I commend the jury for supporting the facts which clearly met each statute. Simpsons verdict in the double murder trial was without question jury nullification. Clearly he was not acquited in the murder trial due to lack of evidence.

Regarding O J Simpson…. Sociopaths get other people to do their dirty work! Sociopaths pull the “pity play”…… Sociopaths turn the table & THEY are the victim…. Sociopaths feel that they are “entitled”…..
Sociopaths feel other people are “beneath them”…
Sound familiar?

No, No, No, Mr. Gallanter is correct in all his comments today. Judge Glass was highly bias towards the D.A. So was the D.A. and the detective or the whole Nevada P.D. for that matter. I hope they win an appeal and a new trial, the Nevada jury sucks!

Payback? Maybe so… Do I care??? NOT!!! And that is MY last word!

I have to agree with Jami. This was payback. O.J. is no saint, but to go to jail for the rest of his life because a couple of guys puffed up their chest and went into a room to collect what was his. He should not have done it that way. The idiots that brought guns should definitely do some time. If it was not O.J. Simpson you have to think if the state would have pursued it as they did. They would not. Just as the jury stated they went by the tapes. I think the tapes stated “If California can’t get him, we will” Duh!!! some justice system.

I’m somewhat surprised at your bias regarding this trial. I particularly resent the implications of it being payback! As a commentator you could at least TRY to appear objective. People come to Nevada for our 24 hour gaming, drinking, shows and if you’re in the right county — brothels. There are many things one can do here that are illegal in other states. When someone comes to our state and BREAKS OUR LAWS…we frown on that. Simpson is no different than any other person who comes to our state and commits a crime. As you know there were plenty of empty seats in the courtroom and the only crowd was the media! He just does not interest us. He’s a guy that came to Las Vegas, broke the law, got caught, had a jury trial and got convicted. No different than anyone else. As for payback, Jamie….isn’t that what one of the jurors in his murder trial stated? “It’s payback time”, if memory serves me correctly. It’s ludicrus to think there could be a “payback” for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman….The moral here – don’t come to Nevada and committ armed robbery or kidnapping – period.

JAMI, YOU COMMENTED ON HOW LONG THIS JURY WAS OUT. 13 HOURS. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW LONG THE JURY WAS OUT FOR HIS LAST TIME IN COURT IN 1995???? IT WAS A VERY, VERY SHORT TIME, CONSIDERING HOW LONG THAT TRIAL WAS. THERE WERE EVEN RUMORS THAT THEY EVEN HAD THEIR BAGS PACKED, (THEY WERE SEQUESTERED) KNOWING THEY WOULD ONLY BE OUT FOR A VERY SHORT TIME.

First, these jurors spent 13 hours deliberating before coming to a verdict. In the Los Angeles verdict which lasted for weeks with much more evidence to consider, the jury only spent 4 hours deliberating before coming to a verdict. So, he got 3 times of jury time which indicates the jury was more thoughtful in coming to a verdict.

Second, how could you ever find “a jury of his peers” in this country. He is no minority because of his “status” as a celebrity and a man who surrounds himself with “white” friends far above the amount of his “minority” friends. He got an almost all white jury, which is exactly a jury of “his” peers, since he lives in his world of almost all white friends. Guilty as charged, live with it. He can appeal.

payback nothing but payback he did try to get the police to help they laughed at him vendetta all the way love you Jamie

Dear Jami; we keep hearing O J was just getting his stolen stuff back…….didn’t Mr. Gilbert play a tape in which O J said…….here, take this stuff….I’d rather you have it instead of the Goldmans……well the Dealers had purchased it from Mr. Gilbert ???? what was stolen ??

What a bunch of crybabies the O.J. lawyers are. He was guilty… If I had been on the Jury I would have convicted also..AND Jallenter failed to tell that the black Lady that is a pastor ALSO said that she could not convict anyone since she is forgiving… SUCH spin…. Makes me sick….

Christina at Torrance CA

I don’t believe the jurors would take away another man’s freedoms (Clarence Stewart) away from him just to revenge OJ Simpson for his aquital 13 years earlier. Think about it…

Gallanter was wrong for saying he was not happy with the jury choice, he could have refused them. He is just feeling sorry for himself for losing. Simpson was wrong in what he did and is now going to pay for it. He should have contacted police, instead he got his thugs WITH guns to get his or what ever the things were back. The jury did there job and did it well. You lost Simpson, Gallenter and Grosso so pick up your toys and go home. Stop feeling sorry for your selves. Simpson was very wrong he should have done it with the police behind him instead of his THUGS.

Don’t know what trial Jim was watching LOL.. Mr. Gilbert was on the stand for about 3 questions then off.. He didn’t play any tape.
What was said on the tape played was..” i’d rather the Goldman’s
have this stuff then these guys”.
On the room tape both Fromong and Beardsley stated that Mike
took it meaning Mike Gilbert.
Admitting they knew it was taken also means they knew it was
stolen.. They never said you gave it to Mike.

Sister of OJ was whaling because she realized her brother was finally convicted of one of his crimes, and could not believe he would be. Jamie Flloyd is wrong in saying he got a raw deal. OJ went in w/ guns a blazing and w. known thugs to retrieve items he say were all his. DUMB OJ, you should have called the POLICE, so now you are paying for your stupidity.

The murder trial verdict was payback time for Rodney King. Did you bemoan that verdict?

If I were in a room in Las Vegas when gun-wielding men bursted in, I would be in terrifying fear for my life! Especially if one of the men had no problem killing before!

Give the jury some credit!
OJ broke the law.
He is so arrogant he feels the law doesn’t apply to him!
Guess the jury (rightly) thought it did!

The defense team should have realized that the moment the African American juror was released that they would be in for a tough time. The jury can say all they want, but they did see themselves as the vehicle that would correct “past error.” OJ was clearly “set-up” i.e., belt cameras and tape recordings and that should point out that it was clearly a “case of entrapment.” OJ’s legal team should have asked for a change of venue, once the only black juror was dismissed. Should he win an appeal, I do not believe they will let him out on his own recognizance due to the Al Cowlings & O.J “freeway escapade” I do however, believe that there was an extreme amount of personal bias and racial discrimination present, as this was clearly not a “jury of his peers.” But hey … wouldn’t you want to hold the title of … “the one who put O.J away?” This will be the year that we finally put a person of color in the White House, but we still have a long way to go to overcome individual racism on a personal level as clearly expressed in the decision made by this jury.

Great Job, Jami . you are the only one that speaks her mind, this is insane, as Gabe said after the verdict if OJ would have robbed the Bank of America and tied people up and stole a million dollars, he would be facing less charges, this is horrible, the guys with the guns lie, talk and walk, and just because it was OJ SImpson he gets life, NOT RIGHT>
THis VERDICT screams APPEAL ME NOW !!!!!

Dear CNN Editorial Staff,
I am a thirty-one year trial attorney, AV Rated by Martindale Hubbel, a former board certified criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor. I am troubled by the irresponsible and unprofessional comments of Jami Floyd this past Monday regarding the OJ Simpson trial. She directly impunes the integrity of the jurors and the judge by stating that their verdict was “payback”. We must always remember that those who serve on juries do not do so for fun , money or vengance; they are summoned to serve, usually at great personal inconvenience and unwanted invasion of their privacy. Our legal system will be better served by those who practice law as well as those who report on cases if we do not engage in partisanship, rooting for the defense and prosecution as if the were contestants on some reality game show and then being angry and petty when our side loses. The appellate courts will surely have every opportunity to right any perceived wrongs. Ms. Floyd was critical of this prosecution before the first charges were even filed much less before the first witness testified. The jurors who sat through this month long trial deserve better. I rest my case.

Jami , I cant believe you think this is payback, he isnt even sentenced yet. What if he gets the min. sentence ? Everyone seems to have him doing life , He is as guilty as sin and you know it. I feel sorry for stewart but only because he doesnt get the coverage OJ does. I still believe they are both guilty. You need to give this jury a break they done a great service to this country and your bashing them because of color arent they picked on a number and not race. I think your playing the race card.
I hope he gets the max and thats a payback.

Had OJ turned in over his assests to the Goldman’s years ago, he would be a free man today.

Jami, I really respect you and I agree with you whole hardly, If O J’S 1ST wife had been kill no body would have rememberd that! especially 13 years, no matter what was done in 1995 this was not justice, People need to stop hateing ,one day they may need an attorny like you or Mr. Gallender. The Judge was very bias against the defense lawyers , she never once screamed at the procecuters, GOD is going to judge all of us one day, you keep standing up for justice
no matter who it may be .

You can call the payback. However, we in Las Vegas take our Casino and Hotel business very seriously. We take carrying a gun into a Casino/Hotel very seriously. Crimes committed in or around our one and only major industry has always been treated with hard and swift justice. Take a look at other cases in this state before you judge this jury

First of all, I am in no way a fan of Mr. Simpson’s; however I am very much a fan of my country and our democracy. To that end, I believe another slice of our collective freedoms were destroyed by this verdict ; how it was reached, or a better description should be, how it was justified by this jury, and lastly, by the general publics’ response to the verdict.

As I watched the jury being interviewed after the verdict, I couldn’t help but observe what I saw as a very angry group of people who wanted to place and exclamation mark behind what they wanted to convey as an impartial verdict. However, their true motives, be it conscious or unconscious, betrayed them in their answers. Two jurors discussed how they thought he was guilty 13 years ago, but how that was never discussed, or even crossed their minds during the deliberations. To that end I suggest that they are either lying or they are truly delusional.
If they were truly impartial their mannerisms and answers would have been totally different. I heard a lot of answers that were highly defensive all the while trying to portray an air of objectivity. I found their overall news conference confusing and at times highly contradictory. If they totally relied on the tapes as evidence, I find it interesting that even the pundints who had no love for O.J. found those comments “interesting” considering the tapes were hardly audible and at times very confusing to follow due to the chaos of the moment. I believe one juror said ” we filled in the blanks”. Am I the only person out here that finds that statement outragiously prejudicial?

The one thing that is evading the blood thirsty commentors on this blog and others, is that some day down the road they may find themselves through no fault of their own in similar circumstances to find out that their civil liberties have been compromised and eroded enough to let a jury not of their peers be allowed to fill in the blanks!!

I would have respected this verdict so much more, if there was evidence that the jurors truly deliberated on the unique circumstances of this trial. For example, how can the defendants be
found guilty in aggravated kidnapping when one of the victims testified that he did not feel he was threatened with kidnapping and did not fear for his life. How, in God’s name, can these defendants be found GUILTY of a crime that is only a crime in the opinion of the Prosecutor!!! Does “intent” and “the victim’s belief there was no crime” mean anything to our judicial system. This “verdict on all counts” could, by any definition, only be characterized as “payback”. Have we not made any progress in the last couple thousand years since Christians were condemned and put to death by crowds of blood-thirsty thugs who insisted “they were following the law of the day”!! In years to come, these cases will be studied by our children’s children, and I believe history will show the beginning of the downfall of our civilization started 13 years ago, when those of us, including the entire L.A. legal branch were allowed to disrespect
and disallow the findings of one jury, and then turned a blind eye to the injustice of another jury. I am truly frightened for our country’s survival !!!!!

The reason O.J. did not use legal means to get his stuff back is that it had he not given it to his friend when he did, it would have belonged to the Goldman’s to satisfy the judment they won in the civil suit for the death of their son. If O.J. truly gave it to his friend, then it was his friend’s to sell or do whatever he wanted with. So he had no legal recourse or claim to “his” memorabilia. This is truly poetic justice!

I believe in our justice system and respect the jury. Justice was served and I am no fool.

Get over yourself, Jamie. The verdict is in and it is just. It has nothing to do with what happened 13 years ago, or that there was an all white jury, blah, blah, blah. It has to do with the evidence presented – end of story. If you don’t like commentating on these stories then by all means, PLEASE get off the air and let someone way less biased take your place! Maybe then I’ll turn in to your time slot…

Please help me understand something. Riccio plots this all out knowing Simpson will be in LV that weekend for a wedding. Then, he makes this tape during the armed robbery to sell it, knowing all along he would get immunity for any crime committed. What a huge gamble to make to try to some money. That guy is brilliant. ………..Please folks, be serious.

Simpson was guiltry. What worked in his favor last time, ruined him this time. This jury performed with more dignity the one in ‘95. That was pure and simple jury nullification.

Stewart should have been tried separately. That;s the only appeal with a chance.

Guns..set up..breaking Nevada laws…gee we understand what that means, do you? Thugs doing things to thugs, none of them were alter boys. 500 in the jury pool…no black person was chosen from that many people, now who is stupid? All the defense attorneys want the money, be in the media and they are suckering along bums and thugs, what a joke. You think that we are happy with the verdict? We love it. The WE being people that don’t use guns to scare people in tiny hotel rooms, take a hat, sun glasses, cell phone and property that 13 years ago belonged to the Goldman’s then go laugh at dinner about how stupid everyone else is!! Grasso, Yale etc all knew they would lose BECAUSE the facts are the facts. Jamie I will never watch your segment since your ignorant opinion smells and your reason is based on your own gas. Judge Glass is above superior.warr

jamie, it sounds to me like you think OJ should get a free pass for the rest of his life, no matter what he does. i listened to you all morning, and you kept saying this verdict was directly affected by the murder trial in ‘95, no matter what the jurors say to the contrary. so following your logic, i guess he can’t be FAIRLY convicted of any crime—ever.
if he’d been acquitted in las vegas, you’d be singing the praises of the system. but since he was convicted, it’s vengeance, it’s unfair and the jury got it wrong. that’s ridiculous.
if this guy had any brains at all, he’d stop twice at red lights. he’d keep his nose clean. instead, he hangs out with thugs. he’s spent his life trying to keep the goldmans from getting what they rightfully won in court, which led him to commit this latest crime. be mad at him—not the jurors. according to nevada law, he’s guilty, whether you like it or not.

I truly believe the jurors in the O. J. & C. J. trial that they arrived at their verdict using the tapes to come to their conclusion. I watched the trial every day and although I could not hear the tapes as well as they could, I personally would have come to the same verdict. I would also like to make a comment about Jami Floyd. I know she is a defense attorney but I seem to get the feeling that she feels all defendants are innocent. When in fact, they are not. Maybe she could enlighten me on this.

“In Session” showed pictures of Simpson’s two mug shots, one from ‘94 and one form ‘07. The younger version depicts a man trying to cope with the hoorific murders he had just committed. The most recent depicts a man that has been able to convinve himself he did nothing wrong on the night of June 10, 1994 and of a man that believes it will all blow over this time. Arrogant indeed.

What most of you are failing to think about is, it’s not a point of revenge for the acquittal 13 years ago. If Mr. OJ was found not guilty out of fear of what people were going to say it means that people of OJ’s standing… (people who have a lot of money or have a large fan base) will never be found guilty. Some say it’s payback and justice, other say it’s a muddle of human rights. He was found guilty, if he was found not guilty it meant he could continue to do as he please without fear of every being sentenced. Take a minute to think about that!

Does OJ have children and if so where are they and most importantly where were they??? This is still their father.

Payback? No. Justice! Exactly 13 years since he was allowed to get away with murder a jury spent 13 hours deciding he was guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping which occurred way back on September 13, 2007. It sure looks like the number 13 is Simpson’s unlucky number. It makes me wonder if the Great Puppet Master in the Sky (who appears to have a great sense of humor) has been busy pulling a lot of strings.

Jami, sounds like you are bias and is trying to sway the public away from the guilty verdict.
I personally think after listening to the jury interviews, that they did an honorable job.

i am soooooo happy…simpson has been getting his way since his college days…no one ever said no…until now…i hope he rots…and, what do you know…the smirk is gone!

I am just glad to see a big L on the foreheads of Jami,Yale,and Gabe.

I am African-American, and I was 5 year old when Simpson was acquitted in the LA murders, and I totally disagree that this is a payback.

Again, I am disgusted with the judicial system. This isn’t the first time someone will be wrongly convicted and will not be the last. The interesting thing is normally we don’t get to see it played out on T.V. It scares me that there are people who watched this and really don’t care. PEOPLE, it could be you or someone you love relying a judge and jury to decied your fate!!!

it makes me sick that Galanter is using the race card !! The majority of those on the jury in L.A. were black and that’s the only reason he was aquitted!! now poor O.J. is guilty because of the white jury!! Now Galanter says O.J. should not have written the book, but I believe he wrote it because he really wanted to rub everyone’s nose’s in it.

I watched the 1995 trial and agreed with the verdict – reasonable doubt. Cops that couldn’t be trusted. Mark Furman, an officer of the law, who lied on the witness stand and was never prosecuted for perjury – he’s now a media darling on Fox News. That infuriates me.
In this case, Riccio, and all the witnesses for the prosection couldn’t be believed or trusted. The “victims” – trying to sell stolen property. The prosecution witnesses, cops, judge, prosecutors and jury – all will be looking to peddle a book – they saw what that con man Riccio made off OJ and they will be looking to do the same. OJ’s lawyer, Yale, thought it eerie that the jury came back with the verdict on the anniversary of the murder trial verdict. I think not, they want to use that tidbit in the title of their books. If some of you think this is OJ’s karma – I hope the jury, judge, cops and prosecutors also get what’s coming to them, because they know this whole thing was a setup from day one and they did their part in contributing to this travesty of justice.

Jami, You continuously always stand for the guilty ones. OJ, I think you were totally on his side. With all your supposed legal knowledge, so still make me wonder what triggers you to not see the facts.
I disagree with you and probably always will. I think you hurt TRUTV because I and many others won’t watch when your on!!!!
Hooray!!! For the jurors decision and too bad you were wrong!

Most of the jurors I see being interviewed seem relatively young. I would wonder how old they were during the murder trial of 13 yrs ago. A lot of the twenty and thirty-somethings I know, only know of “O.J.: the man who got away with murder” as a result of pop-culture and not of any actual knowledge of the trial. I would venture that these younger jurors are prone to snap judgement and want their “15min of fame”.
I just saw how the jury foreman’s personal opinion was that OJ should have been convicted 13 yrs. ago. And an aside to Mr Jury consultant: guess what, people can lie to you!

Why is it that if this man doesn’t get a “NOT” guilty verdict he says it’s not fair and to try and go the race card GIMME A BREAK!!!!….The jurors said it themselves, “they convicted on the evidence they had”…….KARMA IS A BEEOTCH!!! I am so tired of his attorneys saying”aw it’s not fair he didn’t get a fair trial” in other words if it was NOT guilty it would have been fair right???? Deal with it and lets move on to something of more substance!!!

Based on the all the evidence, I agree with the jury verdict. I am always surprised when someone with Jami’s education and background would boil everything down to “payback.” What a simplistic view of the world when things don’t go your way! The jury had no axe to grind. They called it as they saw it. Jurors said they focused on the tapes in deliberation. But, the Defense did not present a forensic person to attack the quality of the tapes and plant the seeds of contamination. Just one juror holding out for a mistrial and Jami would be happy again.

Dear Jamie, I agreed with you from the beginning, O.J. does not deserve to go prison over this stupid hoo,haw! Even if he was guilty of his wife’s murder all those years ago, they acquitted him, it is unfair to try to make him pay for that disageed verdict by sending him to prison over something so stupid that it could have probably been talked out and things settled between the cops and the parties involved. After all it was O.J.’s stolen stuff, I never heard anyone say it was wasn’t.

I applaud quite a few of the comments I’m reading here. Yes, the LVPD feigned non-interest as to set up this man. “Mastermind” is also difficult for me to envision as the deal was in motion for a over a month before O.J even knew about it. 7 of 9 people in the room were witnesses for the procecution?!? And finally, an all-white jury against 2 black men. Need I say more?

I can’t believe people think this is justice for the 95 case. Americans are funny at times. The last trial jury said NOT Guilty. In America that is our system. Then 13 years later a whole other case and everybody thinks and talks about 1995. I wuld never want to stand trial before those people. The 95 case was more about how our system did not hold up to everyones greed. OJ probably did do it but had the police, the lawyers, the Judge, and the media cted correctly this case would have never happened. The truth is it did happen and the police again acted improperly and the DA should have done them all with no plea deals but their goal was only Simpson and the gun guys get to be on paper. OJ and all those other characters were really stupid but not criminal. Plus Jamie if Riccio was the guy with the room and invited everyone in how could there have been burglary. Same with the asault.

FREE OJ

of course this was payback,, for what happened 13 years ago.. i feel these verdicts were unjust,, and it should be not guilty,,,, for this was not a kidnapping,, because a kidnapping is where someone takes you physically by force , ties you up,, blindfolds you,, and calls your family for ransom this was not a kidnapping nor a robbery, it was someone trying to get his stuff back NOT the goldmans,, for all they were after was money after all these years,, let it go already,, you cannot bring ron back with money,,,,,,,, even the browns have let nicole rest in peace however the goldmans cant do that ,, they are on the tv shows every chance they get,,,,, even the victims were not victims so how in the world did this jury convict these men, poor cj he was just there for a friends wedding,,,, and this judge , oh my gosh,, how one sided could she have been???? a mistrial should have been declared,, well riccio and everyone else ,, made their money off of this,, so sad,, i say this to the goldmans let it go ,,, this was all about you and you know it,,, and the 95 acquittle,,,,,,he was found not guilty,,, and this was not your stuff,, and i agree with jami on this,, total pro prosecution

cr. i saw that also ,, the officer behind oj simpson was clearly upset by these verdicts,,,, its a sad situation,,, oj was a great football player,, this saddens me as well,, i debate this subject with a lot of people i know and they disagree with me on all counts of this trial ,,however i feel it was one sided,,, and this judge should be disbarred,, her actions in the courtroom very unethical and very unprofessional,,,,,,,

I was uncomfortable with the verdict thirteen years ago! When a jury spends only three hours in deliberation after a ten month trail, thats wreckless jurors.
I’m very happy about the verdicts and my congratulations to the judge.

Hey OJ, goodbye!

Jamie says:

“And while I believe in our system and don’t like to question a jury verdict, only a fool could ignore the obvious here. And that’s payback.”

Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Only a fool could ignore the obvious. Does the shoe fit?

I think justice was finally served. OJ. always thought himself above the law. Sorry Jami,we all know you are a big o.j. groupie. It was embarrassing watching you everyday root for the defense, and how you feel the system let you down. And now we have to here the defense cry and whine about the decision. Thank god in session has other fair and unbiased reporters.

I couldn’t care less if the verdict was payback or not! The sociopath is off the streets and the world is better for it!!

Jami,
about a week ago I heard you go on and on how you couldn’t stand people who try to get out of jury duty. Well here’s a prime example because if the verdict doesn’t go your way you scream at the jury.
I remember the 1995 OJ trial and considering the prosecution evidence I couldn’t have convicted him either and I’m white. Didn’t matter if I thought he did it, the prosecution didn’t deliver but this time they did deliver. After OJ’s murder trial I never dwelled on him. I did think of his children a lot and hoped he would jump to the plate and do the right thing by raising them right. Let’s not forget Nicole’s children, they are the ones I feel 4. Until OJ tried to get his, ‘If I did It Book’ published I thought OJ was settling in, living his life for his 2 youngest kids. That horrible book changed my opinion of him. How could a father do that to his children. Oh, and all the weeping and wailing by OJ’s sister and friend in court as the verdict was read? Were they weeping cause their gravy train was being locked up? Had his family and friends really cared for him they would have kept him reined in. My only sympathy is for OJ’s 2 youngest children. Had OJ really cared for them he never would have put himself in the position he’s in now. Obviously his children never came first.

GOOD BYE, OJ. IT WAS A REAL DRAG KNOWING YOU HAVE BEEN FREE SINCE 1995. MAY WANT TO RENEW YOU SUBSCRIPTION TO GOLFERS MAGAZINE.

How can a person spend the rest of his life behind bars for someone else evil plot for trying to get back items that belong to him. I think some kind of charge need to filed against Albert Bearsly and Mr. Farlong for illegal possession of stolen items. Can any prove that Mr. Farlong has any kind of right to those items? A nd I guess with OJ behind bars his stuff is still in the hand of the con artist that set up him and auto tape him. The police should look into that , but they are not because they are so busy seeking payback against OJ because you can clearly hear them on tape saying if California didn’t get him we will . What kind of punishment did these cops get for that statemnet nothing because everyone is out to get OJ. And why the police didn’t ant filed any kind of charge against Thomas Riccio for illegal taping OJ and setting him up? Any why was he able to profit from all of this? Because he knew exactly what he was doing and that to me is against the law because someone rights was violated. Everyone is saying that OJ broke the law but what about Thomas Riccio, Albert Bearsly and Mr. Farlong. he set someone up for their own personal gain. I say OJ family should filed seek some kind of leagl help in filing a law suit against these man and also to get some of that money that was made off of this illegal tape. Better believe it Thomas Riccio, Albert Beasley, Mr. Farlong God see very thing and what ever seeds you sow it will come back to haunt you in the long run so go ahead and celebrate with the Goldman family for all the evil deeds that was created by all three of you.

Jami Floyd;

I was interested in your thoughts on the case. After 5 minutes my blood pressure went through the roof. Why do they keep you on. Have a defense view point is one thing but racism and hate mongering is something else. you disgust me!!!

There’s a lady in Los Angelos by the name of Loni Combs who could do your job twice as well without the racist b.s.

CNN should really look her up!!!

Unless one is a true psychic, he/she cannot accurately summarize the thoughts of the jury in one phrase…..Payback. How insulting to the jury! Shame!

Obtaining a law degree does not give the right to anyone to criticize the decision of the jury based on his/her personal opinion and background.

I respect the jury decision and I do not slander them when they make a decision with which I disagree.

I have a feeling that if the verdict had gone with OJ, the last word would have been. titled..RESPECT THE JURY DECISION!

Sorry. THAT is the last word! heehee

Jamie half way through the trial you you said O J would be found not guilty (obviously without know all the testimony). Now you say yo unever said that he would not be found guilty you are saying ” O J should not be found guilty”.
Your opinions in this case are way off the mark!
I am amazed at how the quality of CourtTV has degraded since the first OJ trial.

I wish we had a choice,

I like Jami but have to agree with a few others here that she’s not very objective when it comes to OJ. After seeing the CNN poll this morning where 75% of the viewers thought the jury’s verdict was correct, she even went as far as saying “we’re going to try and change your mind”. All commentators should at least try to give the appearance of being neutral in whatever they do and Jami failed miserably today. I’ll still watch her show but now I’ll always wonder what her agenda is when she comments on a case.

As for this case, I thought OJ did break the law. Robbing people at gunpoint is usually something that will get you many years in jail and OJ is about to find out how many it will be on December 5th

Well, at least this isn’t about jury nullification.

It seems to me the only people talking about the O.J. verdict being “pay back” are the anchors on “court tv” the worst offender being Jamie Floyd. The jury has said they never considered the past. Why can’t you believe them? I guess being involved with the law for so long you don’t believe anyone anymore.
I’m tired of hearing about pay back. In this case he did the crime and there is no question about it. He needs to pay just like anyone else.

Jami, i loved your discription of Judge Glass.You hit the nail on the head!!! At the beginning of the trial i had respect for her, but when i saw how she was acting towards the defense team, i knew this case would be a slam dunk for the prosecution.I`ll bet the people of Nevada are real proud of their conviction. I woudn`t be but their a different breed of people.

John Baker

Man you are so wrong, how would you like to be on trail for rape of an African American woman, with 11 African American jurors and 1 other?

Do you think your chances of a fair trail would be good or bad?

To suggest that the OJ jury verdict was unjust because the jurors were predominantly while females is absurd. Is it lost on anyone that OJ has a preference for caucasian females. Who better to determine his fate?

My real question would be how many white Americans that would be on
trial for anything do with race or color like to have no person of there same race on the jury? I don’t think very many

Jami , I however must disagree . Simpson is just a man like me who tempted fate one too many times . Lets see , three trials , that is three more than I have had . Why make Simpson so special , he is not . If I did what he and his cronies did in Vegas , let me see , I would be charged and prosecuted . Payback , hardly , Justice , Yes .

Jamie
I have a lot of respect for your position as the “Best Defense” but I can’t see your Last Word on this case. I watch “In Session” ever day and the internet when Bandfield/Ford went off, I have to agree with the judges remark, “head spinning
around and fire coming out her mouth” I’ve never seen a group of people witnesses /defense/ DA’s with so little respect for a court of law. I’d have
taken a couple out behind the wood shed, instead of bring them to a “side bar”.

Forget all the witnesses that were getting
a “deal”
The tapes were garbled, but there was several very clear statement, one that there no doubt who the voice was…
“Don’t let anyone out of the room” being the most damming.
With or without guns, several people making plans to commit a forceful taking of property, people were held against their wil, property was removed, this was
a robbery,

The police/FBI weren’t interested in getting involved, WHY, there had never been a report of a robbery at the
CA Rockingham residence of OJ Simpson……Making it a civil matter,
That a very arrogant man took the Law in his Own hands, with the 3 yr olds personality, “I want what I want, when I want it ”
This jury made a strong statement – Vigilante Justice isn’t allowed in NV.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY IF THE “STOLEN PROPERTY” WAS TAKEN IN THE LATE 90′S, THERE WAS A FOOTBALL SIGNED BY OJ AND DATED 2003? ALSO, THE JURY FOREMAN ( THE BALD GUY WHO WAS CHEWING GUM AND SMACKING HIS MOUTH ALL FUNNY), WAS TOOOOO STRANGE!!!!!!!!!

THE JUDGE WAS CLEARLY BIASED, WHICH CLEARLY BIASED THE JURY EVEN IF THEY DIDN’T CONSIDER THE MURDER TRIAL. THE 13TH HOUR OF THE 13TH YEAR ANIVERSARY WAS NOT A COINCEDENCE…. IT WAS PAY BACK

Jami,

You don’t like to question the jury verdict? Why are you doing so? I reguraly watched your show during this trail. Your bias in favor of OJ was and is blatant. I accept the reality thate defense lawyers do their best to defend the client, OJ included. However, you are a commentator and should know better than to so openly show your bias. To question the integrity of the jury suggesting that payback is the reason for their verdict is an affront..

The verdict is absolutely correct. Some testimony varied on specifics; the tapes were not always clear. Nonetheless, the totality of the evidence clearly proved the charges beyond any reasonable doubt:

1. Victims were motivated to come to the hotel room under false circumstances. They were held against their will under gun point with OJs participation. OJ is clearly heard to say “don’t let nobody leave the room” or something to that effect.

2. Everyone, including the defense team agrees that guns were in the room. The suggestion that OJ was the only one in the room who did not see the guns is absolutely beyond the realm of possibilities . No doubt, OJ not only saw the guns but directed that they be brought to the room..

3. Property was removed from the room under gunpoint. Even if some of the property legally was OJs (which is open to question), he had no right to remove it in from the victims under duress and gunpoint. Other property taken from the room clearly did not belong to OJ. That he may have told his cohorts to return the property does not contradict the robbery charge.

Payback my foot! OJ and his criminal buddies made their bed and now must suffer the consequences. It is laughable that OJs defense team attacks the character of the witnesses. Their questionable character, to include buddy Scotto, only serve to reflect OJs own shady character.

The evidence clearly proves the charges. The jury was correct. Jami, suggesting “payback” as the reason for the verdict is an affront to the jurors’ integrity and contrary to the reality.

No wonder people don’t want to serve a juries. People like you, Jamie, claiming they aren’t fair, they got payback. Perhaps OJ should not have had the guys take the guns to the hotel? Perhaps his ‘fall” is all his fault ? Poor Jamie will never be the same.

Once again I listened to your comments and once again I can kick myself for doing it, However, it is important for me to see an “attorney” as you continuously called yourself, praised the judge and the jurors one day, and criticized them the next.

You also quoted the judge as saying “shut up and sit down”, regarding the petition to severe the two defendants. She NEVER said shut up, but I am sure she would have said that to you, if you were in her court.

Lisa Bloom is the only one who sees things as they are, and is brilliant and respectful to the victims on both crimes, you on the other hand prefer to be on the side of the defense attorneys who have shown that arrogance and pride, does not take you too far.

By being so negative about the jury, people like you are the reason why whenever I get a note to serve as a juror, I have an excuse not to serve.

These jurors used common sense, followed the law…(a gun…helloooooo). Unfortunately, they were white…what an awful crime.

In Jamie’s eyes NOBODY IS GULITY. She always blame somebody else for poor old OJ, The judge was great and so was the jurors. O.J’s attorneys are whinning. OJ needs to learn not to be SUPID.

Jami: The judge did an excellent job in controlling her courtroom and followed the law quite well. She made it look quite easy unlike Judge Ito who was out of control and weak in 1995.

The jury deliberated for 13 hours and I respect them – whatever they decided. I resent your insulting this jury with your remarks on racism. O.J.’s race, the jury’s race, the judge’s race, the attorneys’ race, the race of anyone and everyone involved in this had absolutely nothing to do with this trial and you know it.

May your show Jami called “The Best Defense” symbolically go to the place where it belongs just as convicted criminal OJ Simpson is going to where this great Judge will legally and justly send him.

It blows my mind how Jami Floyd, Jack Ford, even the usually unbiased Jean Casarez talk of OJ’s charm. You remind me of the people in his life who would over look his verbal and physical abuse to Nicole, because he was such a Nice guy. Remember this man has 2 sides, the “Mr. Personality” and the “Out of Control Monster”.

Since he’s older, maybe he will get a young boyfriend in prison that will beat him like he beat his wife. Now that Jami Floyd would be payback time! Don’t drop your soap OJ.

If he wanted his “stuff” back so bad in Vegas, wait til OJ gets in prison and finds out that his sisters, kids, girlfriend and buddies come in & steals him blind (if he gets life, he can’t use it anyway) There goes his house, cars, golf clubs, clothes, money….it will be a free for all! Or does the Goldman’s get that too?

That’s payback time, Jami.

GOOD LUCK OJ

Jamie, I usually respected your views but this time I think you are way off base. If he would have gone through proper channels to get his stuff back he wouldn’t be where he is now. It is time for this arrogant SOB to take responsibility for his wrong doings just like everyone else has to. I do believe he got away with murder 13 years ago and that made him think he was above the law and able to get away with anything he did. Hope he enjoys his new surroundings, I think he is right where he belongs.

I never followed O.J.’s other court room battles..but this one I did..
I believe this is total UNJUSTICE

I wasnt finished..it just cut me off….
I believe the judge was totally for the prosecution….I think McClinton should be the one in trouble…O.J. was going after what was his…and if I understand correctly he did in fact ask law enforcement for help…the tape of the cops laughing and saying well they couldnt get him but we will…this is just totally ridiculous..I am neither for or against O.J.– and Stewart well he might as well have been involved in the other O.J. case……I also want to mention that I use to respect Nancy Grace ..but after her comments on the O.J. case last night…she is no different than most people…convicting him guilty of this case…because he was found innocent in the other case..
I am in no means educated in the legal system but common sense to me — would have shown a different out come.
Thank you Jami for following the AMERICAN WAY

I hate when people attack a jury what they gave up their time to do. Bottom line is this: OJ KNEW he was going in that room to “take” what he felt was his stuff back. IF that was true, why didnt he knock on the door, introduce himself to these 2 collectors, and do something UNHEARD of, ASK for it back & offer to sign the sheets, drapes & and anything else they could come up with for him to sign in exchange? Why did he go in there like gangbusters? Because he is a nothing more then a THUG and a bully, JUST LIKE Nicole said he was. While the recording seems like a ’set up’, thank God Riccio recorded everything because sometimes, the guilty are found guilty. And OJ was guilty. You liberals are ridiculous. In this day with criminals getting off the hook for every thing (especially rich/famous ones), your damn skippy everything should be recorded. OJ is where he belongs. Too bad he isnt there for murder, but thats another story.

I’m a black man who usually doesn’t play the race card but this is blatantly obvious and has been in our justice system forever. “PAYBACK TIME” if O.J was white he wouldn’t have to live with the stigma of continuosly being called a murderer and bashed by the media even though he was found not guilty. I mean does Phil Spector and Robert Blake recieve the same scrutiny. I’m going to keep it simple…………I once recommended my racist co worker to watch the movie White Mans Burden. Where basically race roles were reversed in society. Now I have a question for all of simple minded people who think justice was served and this jury handed down an unbiased verdict………..Name one case in the history of JUSTICE where a WHITE defendant was accused of commiting a felonious crime against a black person and they had to face an all BLACK jury………Never…………BARACK ‘08 B!&%TCHES

There has to be consistency here – one can’t accuse the Vegas jury of prejudice and nulification and not say the same for the murder trial jury. It’s very difficult to impanel a jury who isn’t familiar with O.J. At least this time there were tapes that showed O.J.’s involvement and the presence of guns. And , just as important, O.J.’s out-of-control temper.

Did anybody read “If I did It?”

The Juice will be set loose…by the way did anyone ever find out who
killed Robert Blake’s wife? oh I guess that’s not important after all
he’s not OJ…and that’s the last word!!!!

Yes the verdict was definitely payback. Payback for taking the law into his own hands all of which was caught on tape. As for OJ being set up he had to be a WILLING participant in a crime or there could not have been anything to gain for anyone from a set up. He chose to break the law by hiding his “stuff” from the civil turn-over order, again by committing armed robbery and kidnapping. The jury has spoken and now it is time for OJ to payback for his arrogance.

AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS IT SEEMS EVERYONE THINKS AND DID JUST LIKE THE JURY CONVICT OJ ON SOMETHING YEARS AGO. IT DOES MATTER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THEN THESE MEN SET THIS UP MADE MONEY AND WALKED AWAY FREE WE GOT HIM IS VERY IMPORTNAT TO ALOT OF YOU AND YOU SHUOLD FEEL GOOD, HOWEVER ITS NOT JUST OJ GOING TO JAIL STEWARD DID NOTHING EXCEPT BE A FRIEND AND HE SEES HIS FRIENDS GETTING PAID AND FREE TO ROAM, I WONDER WHAT YOUR FRIENDS FEEL ABOUT YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY SMALL MINDS THINK SMALL WAYS AND ALOT OF YOU OVERLOOKED THE OVER BLOWN CHARGES THE LIES AND CHANGED STORIES IN THAT COURT ROOM THE JUDGE WAS UNFAIR THE STATE USED ITS POWER TO GET PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY WANTED EVEN THE COP LIES HOPE THIS GET APPEALED AND NEXT TIME THEE JURY LISTENS TO THE FACTS ABOUT ROOM 1203 NOT HELP THE GOLDMANS

It’s not pay back…it is the truth. He was set free 13 years ago on something that was obvious he had done.

Now the facts are the facts…so let him do his time in jail. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Justice in Vegas? But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.

So what? It was still his stuff, not the Goldman’s. It’s pitiful to see people being consumed by hate, not that anyone should love O.J. And Jamie has the right to her opinion and not satisfy whoever does not agree with her.
The judge was bias, the jury “foreman” looked like I don’t know what, chewing that gum furiously, expressing that he should have given time 13 years, ago. Listen, O.J. was on trial for 2007, not whatever happened 13 years ago. So unfair for his co-defendant and so stubborn of this judge not to trial him separately. This man did not murder anyone 13 years ago, however the jury trampled over this man also. This was a one sided trail from the start:, the D.A. and the Nevada police dept. were out to get O.J. and people only talk about 13 years ago. Now is now and this was an exaggerated trial and conviction. Jamie, you are wonderful and you keep up your good word, and this is my last word.

The reason he did not report the stuff stolen in the first place was because he was trying to hide any monies from the Goldmans (who won the wrongful death trial). The evidence in the case was very very clear…(although I don’t think the kidnapping charge was fair). The tape, regardless of why it was made, was factual and you can argue till your blue in the face but it does not change the fact that he committed a crime and the evidence supports it.

Geez…wonder what this will do to OJ’s ongoing investigation into Nicole Browns and Ron Goldman’s murder…he was making such headway!!!

Like you, Jamie

Please keep this case on the front burner. I am especially interested

in C. J. Stewart s case. it should have been severed. Hope the judge

has the guts to do when his defense attorneys argue again.

I am not an O.J.fan but if this is an example of our justice system we had better hope you never end up before a jury. If ever there a case of reasonable doubt this is it.
Some of the jury members said they relied mostly on the tapes. I listened to the tapes and the quality was so poor I could not understand hardly any of it.
The quality of the tapes alone are enough for reasonable doubt.
The testimony of the witnesses were bought and sold by the prosecution.
If L.A. hadn’t happened 13 years ago would these two defendents have been found guilty of robbery and kidnapping.?? I think not. Maybe third degree asault.
If the FBI or the police dept had investigated stolen property or crossing state lines before this incident none of this would have happened. OJ tried to get help at the start and the authorities couldn’t be bothered. They just set back and let it happen.
Who initiates all the legalized taping and who uses these tapes in court? It seems like standard law enforcement procedure to me. Could this be where Riggio got the idea? A setup from the word go.
Is this justice??

Jami,

I’m on your side. I am even more appauled with our Judicial system after this trial. I agree with you that the Judge was biased on the prosecutor’s side. To think that everyone walks away on probation except for OJ and CJ {including the two with the gun’s}. The worst part of all of this is that the Police when first approached refused to do anything to help. They must take part of the blame for this happening in the first place. SHAME ON THE POLICE!!! SHAME ON THE JUDGE!!! SHAME ON THE JURY!!!!

CJ’s trial should have been a separate trial and I feel very sad for him. I pray that an appeal is one quickly!

Jaimie.. I was amazed that they found OJ GUILTY of all 12 counts I must say. I do NOT think this was “pay back” however for 1995 as you do. I think that they may be tired of hearing OJ did this, OJ did that and then got away with it. Let us not forget the Florida case where people also say he was GUILTY yet was found not guilty. Also remember he does owe the Goldmans and the Browns over 30 million dollors that this jury could see OJ was hiding assets so he would never have to pay. So NO this wasn’t just about 1995. It was about 2007, 1997 and a lot of other things OJ has done and gotten away with until now. Judge Glass was far from being PRO prosecution she just kept jumping on the lawyers for Mr Simpson because Yale has no idea when to sit down and shut up after being told to by the person running the court room. Jamie You as a fine lawyer know that the main person you never want to upset is THE JUDGE and Yale Galanter did so at least twice just in the final 2 days. Jamie you do a great job and I respect your thoughts but I think because you are a defense attorny you never see that someone is really GUILTY of a crime like OJ was.

I agree that he probably would not have been convicted if he was not O.J., but someone with such a violent temper and uncontrolable rage is a danger to EVERYONE

3 strikes your out!!!

Yea CR, I also noticed the expression of anger on the bailiffs face, the watery eyes, his rapid breathing and his very, very unprofessional jeering at the jury. Maybe someone with that kind of raw emotion should not be in court with a loaded gun.

How much of a good faith offer of proof did the prosecutors really
have in order to ask Tom Scotto, that last bombshell question,
about wanting to hire a hit man to get rid of Walter Alexander?
As I understand it the plea offer they made CJ Stewart was that
he had to testify against Scotto about this statement.
CJ and Scotto weren’t long time friends like OJ and Scotto.
Scotto even testified to that he was surprised that CJ threw him
such a lavish party since they hardly knew each other.
If they weren’t close friends and Scotto really said this statement,
then why wouldn’t CJ take the deal? It doesn’t make sense.
The only thing that makes sense is Scotto never made that remark
and CJ just made it up because Scotto would not give CJ any money
when he asked him for it. Maybe CJ is the only one of all the
flip floppers that has a conscience. His cousin said in an interview
on In Session that he was a religious man.
The prosecution was told they could only go further than to ask
that question with CJ if he took the stand.. No gamble for the
prosecution really, they knew CJ would most likely not take the
stand, but they got the question asked just like they wanted.
The prosecution was after Scotto after the incident because he
wouldn’t help them by identifying anyone in the video for them.
Can’t blame the guy,he didn’t want to put a target on himself,
his new wife and his kids by being a snitch. Don’t forget two
gunmen were involved in this and they both had tried to extort
money from him already.

LOOKS TO BE THE MOST PERFECT SET UP ANYONE COULD HAVE THE MISSFORTUNE TO BE ENGAGED IN. WHO BRINGS VIDEO /TAPE RECORDERS TO A SUPPOSSED HEIST. NO DOUBT O.J. WAS GUILTY BEFORE, BUT NOT IN THIS SCAM.

The shoe fits now! Only fools could ignore the obvious in the first trial.

Chris.

Jamie, shame on you for refusing to consider that one could sit on this Jury and not be able to render a just verdict just because of what accurred with OJ many years ago. I think it would behoove you to look at the comments from those members of the Jury who spoke in open forum about how they arrived at their decision. I have listened to your comments daily since the beginning of this trial and in my opinion, you were biased in favor of OJ from day one. I actually expected him to be found guilty of a lessor charge and was surprised at the outcome. Of course, unlike the Jury members, I did not have the specifics of Nevada law to help determine degree of guilt.

the system made the mistake on the first trial,, good hard scamming will make it right,and time will be served.

If indeed, no one is looking to get back at OJ for the 1994 case, then in all fairness, OJ should get the same sentence as the guys who actually had the gun. If his sentence is harsh, then it shows
they were out to get him, not the truth.

nancy p: You need to do your homework regarding the “definition of kidnapping” under Nevada law. You’ve been watching too many Hollywood movies.

Chris.

Jamie,

You’ve been had. You’re a captive inside your own skin and that has colored your thinking. How can you judge the motives of the folks on that jury. Do you dare to claim to know their minds. They did say they used the tapes and only the tapes to convict. Pretty simple if you ask me. I didn’t hear one word from them about the previous trial, not one. That’s all in your mind not theirs. Step back and look in the mirror you’ll learn something.

It astounds me that some people are so thrilled and wrapped up
in them putting OJ in jail for life, that they ignore the fact , or are
ok with the fact that the prosecutors put two confessed gunmen
back on the streets in order to acheive this.
I don’t know about you but I sure would feel alot safer with OJ
loose on the streets of Las Vegas , rather than McClinton and
Alexander.
I’ve heard some people from Nevada say , we don’t fool around
with people who break our laws, you go to jail.. Well I guess
that doesn’t include confessed gunmen.

All this support for poor innocent OJ. Well, his appeal will be a piece of cake and OJ will be set free to continue his search for the “real” robber.

I PRAISE THE JURY FOR DOING THIER JOB!! It’s ashame they are being slandered for following the law, they convicted these 2 guys because they “BROKE” the law!! “He said” DON”T LET ANYONE OUT OF THIS ROOM!! The law says that is another form of kidnapping… so kidnapping it is, OMG!!! We all know they had GUNS!! The law is you can not bring guns to scare, intimidate, to take what you want “no matter who it belongs to, that does’nt matter!! That’s robbery, again that’s the LAW!! Thank God for these kind of laws…If it had a been a all black jury that had convicted them,what would you have to complain about then?? It was”nt about “RACE” it was about BREAKING THE LAWS” and that’s exactly what they did… BROKE THE LAW!! On all 12 counts… so get over it!! And that’s MY last word.

Hey Joy——An appeal is the most difficult and time consuming process in the legal arena. OJ’s not going anywhere(except to a Federal Penitentiary) for a long, long, long, long time!

Chris.

I believe I have the facts correct.
Fact. O.J. Simpson was told by his attorney and family not to do this.
O. J. and others planned this incident.
O.J. invited the Gunman.
O.J. wanted to look and sound threatening.
O.J. said.”no one leaves this room”.
This sounds like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

It must be a duck.

This was an armed robbery and kidnapping per Nevada law.

I seen nothing that has to do with what happened 13 years ago.

It’s a real shame that you think the system only works when you agree with the verdict. Get over the racism thing. It may be the case sometimes but not always.

i am not an OJ fan never have been i did agree with the trial in the 1995 did not agree this time as you can truly see this trial was about 1995 as most that i read in this blog i am a lay person in 95 i saw all the pictures on tv blood every where we slaughtered HOGs & did not get this much blood that said that much blood every where how did he get in his bronco & only have smears that bronco should have been satuated i never understood that no one ever though about that i bet ,bet some blacks got that,never heard about the drug cartel they were involved in, even RON goldman but he is a clean white boy messing around with married woman oh sorry MR GOLDMAN never new your son used drugs i bet so much for that for those people who said they would have gone to the police they have never had any thing stolen from them ,i have never thought about the police til after the fact & i got some of my stuff back not all dont agree with guns in play but to the person who live in nevada saying dont bring guns i nevada was he talking to the locals who visit or the MOFIA
duh i bet he look as silly asw he sounds thanks Jami keep up the good works ajl

Hey O.J., I guess this guilty verdict that lands you in jail is going to greatly curb your personal search for the “Real Killer” as you promised some 13 years ago. Don’t worry, the “Real Killer” is now in jail where he belongs for the rest of his life! Where is your “I am above the law” attitude stand now?

O.J’s lawyers shouldn’t blame the makeup of the jury. O.J’s lawyers helped pick the jury. Why didn’t they pick different people if they thought there would be a problem with bias?

to chris hinton,, i think you should do your homework,,, take the patty hearst case,,, that was a kidnapping,, the lundsford case in florida,,, where the pedofile kidnapped little jessica,, and the lindberg baby case in flemington new jersey,, ,these men were NOT kidnapped,,,,, nor a victims

Why should Casey Anthony be allowed time now to look for her child when she was not concerned about it before when she was out partying, etc. It’s just an excuse to get some free time.

The legal definition of kidnapping is restricting another personal freedom of movement. “Don’t let anyone leave this room.”
By your definition, if I picked up my daughter from my ex-wife and hid her at an undisclosed location, that would not be kidnapping, unless I blinfolded her, tied her up and called my ex-wife for money. If you check, many non-custodial parents have been charged with kidnapping for just such a thing.
The legal definition of robbery is forceably taking property from another person. Even if you claim I stole your car, if you take it back from me through intimidation, you will be charged with robbery. Intimidation would include gathering a few large men to scare me, with or without guns.
The Goldman’s do not expect to bring their son back with the payment of the money. They just want O.J. to pay for what a civil trial agreed he did, instead of living the high life and doing anything, legal or not, that he pleases.

Rosemary sweetheart, Gallanter tried to get the jury pool widened, he voiced his dismay with the jury long before this verdict ever came, pay attention…

What goes around comes around. O.J got away with murder and enjoyed thirteen years of freedom. I think he blew it this time. I hope he rots in jail. That’s where he belongs. Finally justice comes. The number 13 is truly a magical number.

Do any of you people realize the statistics involved in people being found guilty, only to be acquitted later? People who spend 20 or more years behind bars, and are assumed to feel “blessed” to be released. Or even recently the person who was lethally injected and later his conviction was reversed. What good did that do for his family? What good does that do for a person who has spent so much time in prison for a crime they did not commit? Many of you seem so positive that OJ got away with murder, honestly all you are doing in the end is proving Jamie’s case that this was payback, there obviously wasn’t adequate evidence then and I’m sure there isn’t now, so why the different verdicts???

On another note, for those of you borderline “attacking” Jamie and what she had to say on this last word, if you don’t agree to the side of the defense and don’t want to hear what those who do have to say, use your common sense and post on another blog, rather than one very OBVIOUSLY in support of the defense!

The wheels of justice turn slow, good bet OJ will be making License Plates for the rest of his natural life.

Nancy P———–Update. When I speak of the Nevada definition of “kidnapping” I’m refering to that part (of the definition) which pertains to the OJ Simpson trial. Your definition is partially correct!

Chris.

oj’s got no one to blam but himself. this would have never led to this if he hadn;t tried to hide the stuff from california. and the goldmans. he’s a thug and the tapes show it. he’s where he belongs .

Mike Segman-

In your scenario, I would trust, as in all jury trials, that the people chosen to exercise their duty as jurors would make their decision based on the evidence and nothing else. Unless, of course you are suggesting that African Americans can not be objective. If so, it is sad that you are stereo-typing Black Americans in such a way.
Your second post referred to, at least in my attempted translation, a trial for something to do with race or color. What did this trial have to do with race and color? Unless, you are suggesting that, everytime a person of color stands trial, it is about color. If so, it is sad that you, and Jami, perpetuate racism by using it as an excuse for everything that doesn’t tilt your way in this game we call Life.

Jamie,
Why can’t you except that the man is guilty. Most football stars have inflated egos and just add to that you murder two people and get away with it so now you think you are invincible and add to that the fact that you claim you are broke. Add it all up and you GUILTY AS CHARGED. The world will be a better place without the juice on the loose to commit who knows what.

What does it take for some men learn their lesson and just get out of the spot light for God’s sake.

To Obviously in the Minority———–Read OJ’s book (which the Goldmans own) “If I Did It:Confessions of the Killer”. You’ll be enlightened!

Chris.

Nancy P—— Note the definition of “Kidnapping” under Nevada Law.

A person who willfully seizes,confines,inveigles,entices,decoys,
abducts,conceals,kidnaps or carries away a person by any means
whatsoever with the intent to hold or detain or who holds or detains,
the person for ransom,or reward,or for the purpose of committing
sexual assault,extortion or robbery upon or from the person.

Chris.

Larry Dean:

From what I understand, the minimum sentence is 20 years. O.J. is somewhere in his 60s. That’s pretty much life now, isn’t it? Especially since O.J.’s new job, center for the jailhouse “touch” football team, doesn’t extend his life expectancy much.

I don’t condone a person committing a crime. However, you and I know that OJ was set up, and this was a payback by the system. In all honesty folks. Should these kind of cases waste americans tax dollars. God knows that OJ was frame. He should had never gone there in the first place. But, Riccio in the other dealers had an agenda folks. I’m sadden that nobody had paid the price for Nicole and Ron Goldman murder as of yet. The Lord will deal with whoever is responsible. Trust that. So, please don’t turn a blind eye on this case and the way things occur. Who set up the meeting? Who record without OJ knowledge? Who was paid before the trial was over? You cannot over look this with true justice. Therefore, the outcome was not pure.

Jami likes to keep the pot stirred …controversy and publicity pays her bills!

Wondered if you all know about this new documentary film:
O.J. is Guilty But Not of Murder, The Overlooked Suspect
By Phil Smith. It will be screened Nov. 8 at the Dallas Video Festival.

Internationally renowned private detective, William C. Dear, presents new evidence that he has uncovered in this documentary. This incredible story brings to light some of the pitfalls of a modern day police investigation, while it reminds us that sometimes what we think of as the truth, may not actually be the truth at all. 84 min
Filmmakers and Private Eye William C. Dear in Attendance.

Why would anyone even think about feeling bad for O.J? He is the one who just put his whole life in risk!

I think you diminish the seriousness of this case by calling it payback. OJ was desperate in his attempt to maintain a quality of lifestyle that the Goldman’s would not allow. His only source of income was gray market memorabilia. He orchestrated this heist out of greed and desperation. Anyone else would have called the police.

My mother asked me to respond to your comments about OJ because she is ‘outraged’ at your comments about Payback in this OJ case and asks this:

Where was Your outrage of the jury system in the Murder Trial of OJ?

You, Jamie Floyd, have always stated you believe in our Jury System and the 1st OJ case was a complete farce and everyone knows it. Luckily, our jury system has since changed and a big lesson has been learned through that case alone.

OJ was not overcharged > Due to the strict gun and kidnapping laws in Nevada. When you say Payback, you are saying Nevada’s laws do not matter because it’s just a Payback from another case in another state for a celebrity who was once accused.
That’s not supporting their jury system now is it?

OJ is a Criminal and has been since 1st trial, just hasn’t been caught until now and on Tape. OJ’s luck ran out when he couldn’t play the race card anymore so why not try Payback? that Defense did not work. OJ was just a common criminal caught and convicted. We learned, the media helped free OJ of murder, 2nd time Media allowed OJ to pay for his crimes. Call it Karma not Payback.

Also, in the Casey Anthony case of a missing child, Caylee; Before you lash out at the media, Read the Entire case as it is Public Record and if recall the law still states…It is Not a Leak >> unless a Judge orders it closed or sealed to the public…there is no gag order in this case.
Also Please keep your negative comments about Florida to yourself, it just makes you look and sound prejudice.

We hope, in the future, that you become less Biased as it lowers your creditability as an anchor. Controversial is one thing but Prejudice is another.

Thank you.

Reasonable Doubt
Prosecution witnesses who would say anything to get parole. I think one even got caught lying on the stand.
Tape recordings that were so bad hardly anything could be understood.
Did anyone find out where the tape recorders came from?? Were they furnished by the police dept or FBI. Tape recording are usually their cup of tea.
I think Riggio skammed the police dept and O.J.Simpson to the tune of a few hundred thousand dollars and walked away scott free. I don’t think Paul Newman and Robert Redford could have done better. ( The Sting )
If you take away what happened 13 years ago you will have reasonable doubt. If you don’t take away what happened 13 years ago you will have a guilty verdict based on hate and prejudice.
This would also include the judge, for whatever reasons, I think showed total bias for the prosecution.
I am not aware of courtroom procedures but if the courtrooms are run in this manner a common man wouldn’t have a bloody chance. I think this case shows a total disregard for being innocent until being proven guilty. Proven guilty did not happen in this case.

Jamie has a right to her own opinion like the rest of you. Just because its not what you think doesn’t matter, lay off!! What I don’t understand and never will is how OJ and Stewart get jail sentences and the other four get probation, including the gunmen. I guess you should always take a deal even if you think you are innocent.

O.J. didn’t have a chance, I already knew he would get life and he didn’t have the gun. If he had went to the Authorities, they would have brushed him off. O.J. had 2 strikes against him from the word go.
1. Black Man with all white jury.
2. Aquitted of murdering a White woman and a White Man.
