MercuryNews.com | 11/20/2006 | Fox parent cancels O.J. Simpson interview, book –As far as I’m concerned it should have never come to this. Meanwhile what happened to the $3.5 million advance? Once these deals are signed and the deal is canceled by the publisher on a whim the author gets the money. So OJ apparently doesn’t have to do anything to make out on the deal. Cripes.
Battered by a storm of protest and criticism, News Corp. — the parent company of the Fox television network — has decided to pull the plug on “If I Did It, a two-part interview with O.J. Simpson that had been scheduled for next week.
In addition, the company said it was canceling publication of a Simpson-authored book with the same title that was to be released Nov. 30 by ReganBooks, a subsidiary of News Corp.
“I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project, said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman, in a statement released today. “We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
Check the last o.j blog post and say that again 19. I don’t particularly care about stirring your memory nor your mental acumen assessment.
If he can rant and rave a few times so can I .
I do apologize for the personal nature of the post though Ascii, just wish you would think the whole “Everything was tained and he was framed” argument.
All this pontificating aside, I still wonder what his kids think of all this. Seriously.
The US Constitution forbids double jeopardy. In other words, once you’re found not guilty, you can never be charged on the same or the same underlying charge again by the same governmental agency.
Actually that’s wrong, and a common misconception. You can be tried again if there is new evidence to support the accusation.
However it better be some damn good evidence, because otherwise the case will be dismissed damn quick.
#23, you are correct that a new trial may be granted or that you may be tried more then once for the same crime. Not as you outlined though. In the US, once you have been found Not Guilty of a crime, you may not be tried again of an offense under the same circumstance with the same evidence. There are two exceptions though. For example, if you are found not guilty of shooting your neighbor, then you can’t be later charged with discharging the gun if the evidence was used in the first trial.
First, if the first trial was tainted then a new trial may be granted. That means if a juror was convinced to vote a certain way or a Judge was bribed, there would be a mistrial. Of if evidence or testimony was obviously perjured then it could also mean a new trial.
Second is the difference between the Federal and state courts. For example, there were cases during the Civil Rights days where offenders were let off in state courts but later found guilty in Federal courts on the same evidence. The reverse is also possible.
Here is the legal definition in case Fusion confused ya

All I got (and still get) from this whole OJ thing is..
What happens in Cali is none of my business….
Florida too
I wonder if a network like Al-Jazeera would air something like this.
Pretty neat trick how Fox News gets all sort of good non-partisan press during sweeps by standing up to this and all Fox did was not air one show.
Good thing the liberals didn’t notice, too.
Speaking hypothetically of course, somebody needs to take action on this mother fucker. Where are the extremists when we actually need one. This mother fucker is making a fuckin’ mockery of our legal system. One of the fundamental aspects of our society. He’s a fuckin’ killer, everybody knows it, and he’s walking around free. If that’s not enough, now he’s shovin’ that shit into the faces of the victim’s families and the rest of the nation.
It is damn well time a vigilante steps up and takes care of this shit. All we need is one good crazy mother fuckin ex-marine style mother fucker.
In my opinion the best way to hypothetically do it would be public execution style assassination. Find out where this fucker plays golf. Find a clear line of site to one of the driving areas. Wait for him to tee up. And take his fuck ass out with a high powered sniper rifle. It will take the police at least twenty minutes to figure what direction the shot came from. And that’s if our ex-marine isn’t using a silencer. Plenty of time to escape.
And as far as prosecution goes. I think the entire country has a motive for killing his ass right now. So if he got out of killing two people when he was basically caught red handed, I think our man could get off as well, if he’s caught.
I am hypothetically begging for someone to stand up and take action on this man. I think it would be a patriotic act. Don’t let this man continue to mock our society so openly.
I’d stand up and do it myself, but I have neither the proper training nor the nerve for this sort of job. But someone out there does.
And I hypothetically hope that someone does.
