I detest what happened years ago, but the parole board did their job. And I for one will not fret that the public is in great danger from this 70-year-old has-been.  If anything, I would think it's the opposite. If he's wise, he will stay away from the cameras and live in privacy.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but he was found Not Guilty ....  NOT Innocent.  

There is a difference.

He should have never been acquitted of those murders in the first place.  That's the real travesty of justice.   

I don't know how those people can sleep at night knowing they let a murderer walk out of there...

They weren't very bright, to put it mildly.  I recall an interview with one juror afterwards, and they clearly had no clue what "DNA" meant.   oi vey

I'll never forget that line, "if it doesn't fit you must acquit." Genius on Johnny Cochran's part.

Will Al Cowlings be picking up OJ in a Bronco in October?

[Irshgrl31201]

I would say he is loose despite himself and his completely narcissistic ways. He really took absolutely no accountability for his part in this robbery at all especially in the beginning. I watched the entire thing and I was stunned. Surely his lawyer would have coached him but he really could not help himself. 

I would love to see him in jail forever but I know he should have been paroled. I do think he served quite a long sentence and I don't think he would have if it he didn't have the past he does. I really think that, especially considering the victim spoke in his defense at the trial. He would have only gotten a year or two. I really believe that.

LOL, are Broncos even made anymore? A better question is will Al Cowlings be holding a press conference and give the public another "900" number for the public to call him where he supposedly made over a million dollars the first time he did it.

Ask the families of Ron and Nichole how they feel knowing that the person who brutally murdered their loved ones in cold blood, is soon to be released to walk around, free, in public, when their dead loved ones can't.

Ask them if they felt that he "did his time".

Ask them if they felt that "justice was served".

Many, many, MANY people felt that the thirty-three year sentence was to make up for the travesty of the murder trial.

Thirty-three years should mean exactly that.

Thirty-three years, and not one second before.

No doubt. I do wish he would be in jail for life as well. However his sentence for this crime was quite harsh considering he had no type of record nor was he a habitual offender. The victim testified for him at trial. I do believe if it had been anyone else who had no record he would have only served a couple of years. 

Despite his release being pretty much a foregone conclusion, I had hoped he would do or say something that would have totally change their minds and keeping him there. 

Just listening to him not take any accountability

Perhaps it will be Bruce Fromong that picks him up.

@Tinkrbl44, you are correct. He was found not guilty. But that doesn't change the point I was trying to make.
