Now You'll Know the Rest of the Story

Call me naive if you will, but this thing with O.J. Simpson has really blown me away. Just when I thought this young man had begun to pick up the pieces and get on with his life, here he is in trouble with the law again. This poor guy might well be the unluckiest human on earth.
First he's framed for his wife's murder. I still remember that that glove didn't fit. When I saw that powerful demonstration, that poor guy struggling to slip a glove on his allegedly blood-stained hand, it wrapped the case up for me. And now he simply goes to retrieve his rightful belongings and wham - out of the blue - he gets arrested.
So what if he brought along some heat, as we say on the streets. Sometimes the man needs a little back up (picture my fist raised in the air at this point).
Anyway, O.J. is back in the big house, although technically, I guess at this point he's in the little house in back of the big house, since he hasn't been sentenced.
I guess I really shouldn't be all that worried. His lawyer has publicly said he's innocent and, well, I guess that pretty much settles that. But still, justice can be so blind sometimes and, often color blind as well, if you get my drift.
I do have a theory I'd like to run by you, and before you quickly dismiss this as the ramblings of an amateur, let me remind you that I have sat through 80% of several Law and Order marathons on the USA Network. Now that I have your attention, here goes:
You know they said there's an unidentified fourth suspect (or maybe fifth, I'm not keeping score here)? Well, do you suppose that this unidentified guy could possibly be Fred Goldman? Now, play along with me here. Fred stands a lot to gain over this whole deal. It seems a little too convenient that the very day Fred's new book, written by O.J. comes out, O.J. goes and pulls a stunt like this.
I mean, let's think about it. O.J. Simpson was a great athlete, but he's no rocket scientist. He not even a Fred Goldman. I've seen Fred on TV. He's smart. He's clever. Even if he wasn't in the hotel room with O.J., I'm pretty willing to bet he put the bug in O.J.'s ear to go get his stuff.
Sales of O.J.'s make-believe confession are through the roof and every penny goes to the Goldmans. So who really stands the most to gain by putting O.J. back on TV? O.J.? I don't think so. Even if he'd pulled the heist off, all he would have gotten were things he owned in the first place.
But now that Fox TV has predictably fallen in love with this new O.J. story, it's like a 24 hour infomercial for the book...Fred's book, if you will. While I'm on this subject, let me just say that it's a good thing another terrorist attack didn't occur this weekend, because if you're tuned into Fox News, you'd have never known about it. Greta is so stunned over O.J.'s arrest, she even came in to work Sunday night. That's how big this whole thing is on an international level.
But back to the subject at hand...when will this evil man be stopped? Fred Goldman, I mean. Hasn't he done enough damage to the Simpson family. He wasn't satisfied that a jury of 12 intelligent, impartial men and women found O.J. not guilty. No. He had to run out and buy a civil judgement against Simpson.
Now, he's using this poor murderer as a pawn in his evil scheme aimed solely at self aggrandizement. If you ask me, it's Fred Goldman who should be behind bars.
Oh yeah, that's right. You didn't ask me, did you? Okay, well, let me wrap things up. This is just an opinion. Maybe you agree. Then again, there's a slight chance you disagree with me. And, when you think about it...isn't that what makes this country so great...this, and the fact that we have a 24-hour-a-day network devoted exclusively to O.J. Simpson.
