OJ behind bars

leave a comment »

Finally OJ Simpson ends up behind bars for up to 15 years. The former Buffalo Bills player was, with others, attempting an armed robber to take property associated with his football career. From, in his own words, “friends”.

Judge Glass refused bail; no doubt the car chase so many years ago uppermost in his mind. The man, forced to pay compensation for a double homicide he was aquited of in court, has finally had justice served as he cried for mercy while not taking responsibility for his actions.

Small beer for the Goldman and Brown family that a person’s sporting past finally leads them to a crime they can be held to account.

The ghosts of the past though may rest a little easier, 13 years to the day he walked free from their murder.
