Well, not that I would defend her old man, but she's also Bruce Jenner's stepdaughter now and he's a huge attention whore (a la Dancing With The Stars, Skating with Super-Incredible C-List Celebrities - or whatever it was) so I can see him maybe having more to do with it than her sperm donor even.

I seriously had no idea who the woman was until I looked her up on Wikipedia. Seems like in the past two years, she gets a lot of buzz, and for what? I mean, people compare her with Paris Hilton but at least Paris has been a model and has dabbled in acting and singing... what has Kim done? Yet she's this A-list celebrity now? OJ should get another five years on his sentence for inflicting her on us

She can't even dance! You'd think with her endowments she could at least do something with them, but guess that's not it!

i was in 7th grade art class when they read the verdict. i remember the art teacher putting up the radio and everyone being as quiet as a churchmouse as the verdict was read and them asking each and every juror one by one if this was their agreed upon verdict. and i remember my art teacher was shocked that they found him not guilty.

I wasn't surprised. If the verdict had been guilty - the Rodney King riots would've looked like a Sunday picnic!!!!

yea, I do think the jurors had that in mind. I found it apalling how many people sided with OJ simply due to race. Murder is murder, it's not a white or black thing, it's a human thing.

Exactly - pretty sad when justice is screwed up because they're afraid of what could happen in the community - now THAT'S jury tampering!

Race never even entered my mind in the case (afterall, it was a mixed marriage so O.J. sure wasn't thinking any racial). It was only when Cochrane's team brought it up and to me, they did that out of desperation - they knew they could have easily lost otherwise.

And even as much as I enjoyed watching it, the trial probably never should have been televised - it brought sensationalism to it too much.

its sad that people take sides for things like that. If the roles were reversed and a white man was on trial for killing his black ex-wife and another black friend, I'd still want him to fry for it. Hell, even if someone wanted to bring the gay thing into it and ask if I'd defend a gay person on trial.... I thought Jeffrey Dahmer got what he deserved, no "get out of jail" passes from me because he might've been called a ****** by a few people. Murder is inexcusable unless it's in self-defense, and I don't believe OJ was defending himself
