I had to smile when I heard the report about OJ being sentenced to at least 9 years for his attempted Las Vegas heist. It wasn’t the sentence that made me smile, but the last line of the story declaring that the judge had said that his previous acquittal had nothing to do with her decision. Right. You would have to be more than human for it not to have some effect. Justice may be blind, but she isn’t stupid. The original OJ trial is the ultimate symbol of judicial farce. OJ Part II is karma, even if it isn’t quite so instant.
Thinking about this made me want to look again at Larry Wilmore’s take on the case when it first happened.
