I was surprised that OJ turned out to be a big thug, I really thought he was smoother than that.
I have a question for you, IL.....Given what I have posted here about the police and authority in general, are you surprised that A. I agree with you about OJ (at least as far as not being happy with the verdict) and B. That I sided with the prosecution? True that, I did and I would again if the case were presented the same way today. I'm still amazed that he got off scott free but he screwed up down the road. Didn't learn I guess. Rob
