America’s famous bad boy was in the court room this past week, but the result was anything but similar. Orenthal James Simpson, otherwise known as O.J., was acquitted in criminal court 13 years ago of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in what many believed was a sham trial and an unjust result. The evidence, at least circumstantial, appeared to be enough to pin the murder on the Hall of Fame running back with the Buffalo Bills.

After he was acquitted, the Goldman family sued him in civil court for wrongful death and won a multi-million dollar settlement. We all knew O.J. would not pay it all, but at least one court found him responsible for a crime most of us knew he committed.

After this, he moved to Florida, telling the media he was going to find “the real killers”. It didn’t seem like he was trying his hardest, especially if you consider working to solve this case playing 18 holes of golf on a daily basis. People seemed to not give a damn about him or what happened to him until this recent incident resurfaced.

It seems he never really could escape his sordid and strange past, when charges were brought against him some months ago that he had held a guy up in a Las Vegas hotel room and demanded the collectibles seller return goods that O.J. believed were his. Apparently, O.J. hired some strong arms to help him “retrieve” his stuff back. He later plead not guilty to the charges.

Well, the jury found him guilty on all counts, and he may be spending the rest of his life in prison. It’s just so sad how everything around him, including the former football great, has been ruined. The death of two people. The falling down of a great player. The strange, bizarre behavior he exhibited. Maybe he was a victim of his own fame. But one things for certain. No one will feel sorry for him now. He’s made his bed and he has to sleep in it now. What goes around comes around and things have certainly come around for O.J..
