Three Out of Four Ain't Bad


Because it wasn't enough that he got off for murder, then lost his civil trial. Then was found not guilty in a road rage trial. No, now Orenthal James Simpson would like to press his luck on the wheel of justice for the fourth time.


It seems that O.J. and his band of merry thugs allegedly decided to take back some sports memoribilia that he claims belongs to him. But not satisfied with just that, he claims O.J. swiped his cellphone, too. The man O.J. allegedly stole from, Alfred Beardsley, a memoribilia collector, actually testified for O.J. in his civil trial. After that trial, O.J. was ordered to cough up over $30 million after being found civilly liable for the deaths of Nicole (now I can type it) Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Maybe O.J. was a little mad about that.

Beardsley claims O.J.'s men came into his hotel room brandishing weapons, but O.J. says no way weapons were involved. This is the same man who claimed he didn't kill his ex-wife despite serious evidence to the contrary. Now, they haven't found any weapons, but O.J. has a few strikes against him in the telling the truth department.


Ok, all together now: "Well, you got away with murder, so robbery? Yeah, that's possible."
Not coincidentally, this all occurred on the day that the book "If I Did It," which describes how O.J. might have killed Brown Simpson and Goldman, was supposed to hit stores. The New York Times says this publicity will help book sales. Double ick.

O.J., even if it was your stuff, Texas justice is not legal, not even in anything goes Las Vegas. And besides, if the stuff is yours, then it's going right to the Goldman and Brown families.
Please, just accept the plea deal and spare yourself another trial of this century, too, k?
