First: It's shocking that you'd even write about being surprised at the Sox winning! There is no shock there, it's the Angels!
Secondly: It is well about time. The man made a joke out of his whole situation.

My reaction is actually one of sadness, Bob. I'm glad that OJ is finally getting his comeuppance, but it's just a sad reminder of the reason he should already be in jail.
Not to mention the fact that this is sure to re-ignite racial tensions in this country because of the fact that so many black people deceived themselves into thinking that OJ wasn't guilty of double-murder.
The whole thing is really ugly and sad. I felt no great elation when I first heard the news.
Augh...I just don't know what else to say. I've been sitting here trying to think of what to type, but this whole thing just causes me to feel a blank numbness inside. It's depressing.

I never really liked o.j. I think most footblall/baskeball players are overe rated. Who knows ,every one love Reggie Bush ,but he could be the next o.j.

There is a strong posiblity O.J. did murdered his wife. But this verdict was kinda of unsettleling. It was almost like the Jury wanted to make sure they convicted him on the 13th. They did not want to end the day.

I think if it had happen where O.J was not involved ,every one would have gone home and that would have been the end of it.

I guess it was revenge for Mr. Goldman......

Bob the only reason why OJ didnt beat this rap was simple,.He didnt have 12 brain dead moronic jurors from LA deciding this case.If his lawyers had any brains at all they should have asked for a change in venue to LA so it would have been guaranteed he would have walked.I hope the judge throws the book at him.Somewhere Ronald goldmans fatehr must be laughing his ass off seeing the Juice is going to get pulped in jail.

....What ever happened to a bad guy getting sentenced at the same time the jury finds him guilty? Now we must wait till Dec 5th. Is this time given before the actual sentenceing needed? Can somebody please explain to me what this is all about. Thank YOu

Bob,

Here’s a guy whose time has finally come, 13 years to the day too late, but, never the less it’s here. This guy has been walking around with an air of arrogance for to long, and hopefully justice has finally caught up with him. He’s just about admitted he killed his wife and Ron Goldman with the book he wrote “If I did it”. If that isn’t an admission of guilt, then I don’t know what is.

Let’s all hope this jury can do what the first jury didn’t do, and send this creep to prison for life where he belongs.

I don't think it's any coincidence on the timing of the conviction Bob. And I'm also not surprised he was found guilty on all counts. If he didn't get away with a double homicide 13 years ago, he would have walked away from this one, but then again he wouldn't be in this position either.

What jury wouldn't jump at the chance to find Orenthal Julious guilty?!

"I can only hope O.J. gets life in prison for the new charges he is now found guilty of.... they are pretty bad things he did.... and that his new cellmate, BUBBA, squeezes the juice right out of him! Pulp & all! ;-)"

You see, Bob? These kinds of stories often bring out the very worst in people. I'm glad that OJ is getting the justice he deserves, but I certainly don't take delight in it.
I am sad for Nicole & Ron, O.J.'s kids, and even for O.J.; this whole story should be viewed as a tragic shame; not a cause for celebration.
I feel the sorriest for the lynch-mob. It's too bad to see such esurience for blood.

I'm glad the evidence in this case caused the jury to convict him. I'm afraid if there wasn't enough, and he was convicted, that it would be said that people convicted him this time because he wasn't convicted last time. The last trial was a sham. You had a hollywood wannabe judge, showmen lawyers and cops who were smug. I remember looking at his son's face when the Nicole/Ron verdict was read. He looked surprised that OJ got off. I think it's because he knew he was guilty, like we all did. It is a shame that it took so long for justice to be served. I'm thankful that this man, who thought he was above the law, finally did himself in. It is so true that what goes around, comes around. Rest in Peace Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

The only thing I disagree with here is the statement that he would not have been convicted this time had he not got off the first. Technically it's right because he would be in jail and not have committed this crime. But if we use the same hypothetical theory and say the first incident never happened and OJ's reputation was clean going in, according to the jurors they still would have convicted because they agreed OJ's voice on the tape was evidence of guilt.
