Let's hope age has caught up with him a little.

I don't know, though.  He seems arrogant as ever.

If he’d be in there five more years he might be slowed down, but not quite yet I suspect - unfortunately.

@sidsmom  He doesn't need to spend time "looking for the killer", all he has to do it look in a mirror.  What a tragedy - Nicole went through years of abuse, finally got free, and then to lose her life in just a brutal way.

Now the Goldman family can watch his every step and if he tries to make $$ above his "can't touch this" NFL retirement, they can take him to court. 

Hoping he breaks his parole and is back where he belongs.

OJ hardly compares to education about historical events-like civil rights. 

HIs life contributes nothing to a generation that has come around since 20 years ago.

I find the constant interest in OJ nothing more than gossip and rehashing old facts about those murders.   While I believe he was guilty our justice system is what it is.

It cannot be changed; and just as he walked free such is the same for innocents convicted and wasting away in jail.

I'm much more concerned with the futures of my grandchildren-you know those pesky things like nuclear war, global warming, terrorism, poverty, social justice, etc.-issues I want them to learn about, understand, and become involved.

OJ is nothing.  Fodder for gossip magazines.  Not even a blip on the radar of humanity today.

I agree with you.  There comes a point that every move he makes tips into the realm of morbid.  I feel the same way about the coronor type TV programs that repeat about famous people. I get that people hope for real justice but that has been played out in the courts in the only way that can be civil.  Live in the present, accept what is and let the dead RIP because every time his name is out there for fodder, it brings the dead back to the forefront, too  This is where TV and mags go wrong, they'lll resurrect it all for ratings and $$.

I think that documentary O.J.: Made in America, proves otherwise about the historical lessons about the O.J. trial.  It was an excellent documentary and I recommend everyone see it. Not everything taught about history rises to the level of importance of the Civil Rights movement.  Is there some "score" of importance given to historical events that determines whether or not they qualify?   I think not.  The murders and O.J.'s criminal trial acquittal are facts.   As important as the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- no.   But important nonetheless and more important that some other events in history.
