Im not proud to say it, but for some reason I remember where I was when the "Bronco chase" was broadcast.

What a horrible case. And man. I totally think he did it. But also I understand how there was room for reasonable doubt in a black jurors mind given demonstrated racist behavior of some of the investigating cops as well as well known examples of evidence planting in certain LA neighborhoods.

He was a pretty good footballer, I will admit.

Personally, I think it was the "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" that was the nail in the prosecution's case. That was a really dumb thing to do, IMO.

I was hoping he had slid far enough into irrelevance that I wouldn’t see a thread about his demise here.
He did. But his trial was a pretty huge event for various reasons. And some of the issues surrounding it havent gone away. American hasnt quite yet earned any right to forget about this.

Given what we've learned about the Kardashians since that time anything is possible. They were thick as thieves and the Diddy debacle should make it clear there's a lot of excess in that world. In light of the abuse and their environment why did she remain? The race card was always an option unless it wasn't.

Marrying men in high places has consequences. They'll always have a file on their intended with periodic additions. They admitted he had private investigators. Of course he did. That goes along with the territory as do recordings.

Oftentimes in relationships like theirs the woman and her loved ones are benefitting from the union. Making it more challenging to sever ties. Cassie received $500k per month for her allowance from Diddy before he cut it in half and he gave her family money too. How many women in their twenties are earning the same? Do you think they didn't know what was going on? Of course they did.

People underestimate a woman's willingness to sell herself in that world to secure her future or get ahead. Look up yacht girls and what you'll find about Kim and Kylie. Their mother made those deals and recorded her daughter with Ray J on that infamous tape and cheated on her husband.

That was Nicole's bff. We'll never know what occurred. Their moral compass is beyond imagination. Who knows what they were into. Kris is mercenary. She helped Britney Spears's father get the conservatorship and tried to do the same to Kanye.

While I've never watched the show I've seen enough clips over the years. She doesn't encourage her daughters to seek companions who love and respect them. She's all about the money and has repeatedly encouraged unhealthy connections to boost ratings on the show.

When you consider her character in light of their connection the mind boggles. But as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. You'd need common denominators beyond your husband's friendship to be best friends. We didn't know what the Kardashian's were like back then but now we do.

If only norm Mcdonald had been alive for this day.......



I feel sad for Nicole's children. They were upstairs asleep in the condo when their mother was brutally murdered outside and taken from them. Trauma at such a young age. No matter how they felt about their father, they have now lost him as well. I hope they have peace as all of his legacy and the memories of their mother are brought back up in the public eye again at his passing.

Fortunately the law doesn’t care. His creditors, such as the the Goldmans are first in line for any remaining money or assets.

It's what his armed robbery crimes were about too. He was stealing his own sports memorabilia so that it wouldn't be sold and the proceeds taken for the judgement that the Goldman and browns won in the civil case.

I took a look at his old movie, Capricorn One, in which a Mars mission is faked. That movie inspired so many conspiracy theories. Then I made the mistake of looking at the comments on Youtube. Hoo boy.
I think it was the Moon landing.

EDIT: NOPE. I'm wrong. It was Mars.
