if i did not know any better i would believe that this was an arranged fight/confrontation that did not end well for all concerned - the police knew this and the law has a different perspective if this is indeed the case

O.J. went from great to horrible. Now he will burn in hell.

Yep, it's not complicated, it's as simple as you stated.

mr gold man was about half of mr simpson's age and mr simpson's body was was worn down by many years of NFL battles on the playing field, plus he had arthritis and joint problems. mr goldman's mistake was that he under estimated mr simpson's physical deterioration, juxtaposed to his age and physical skills as he was skilled in karate - but mr simpson was an exception even in the physical mayhem of the NFL -pain is the currency. my point is know what the hell you are doing before you get into something that your ass cannot cash.

there is nothing complicated about his legacy - he was a human being that lived and died. the complication arises out of being black in america; gaining privilege;losing that privilege under a horrendous set of circumstances, and then having his downfall exploited in a show trial, that encompassed everything wrong with America - listen to this racist explain his racist racionale for the juries decision - not the fact that his legal clearly outclassed the prosecution. the jury arrived at the right decision - case closed; based entirely on the evidence and the perjury testimony of furman.
