Poor O.J. Never Found Nicole's Real Killer

The Morning Briefing: – PJ Media  . . ."Those who have been reading me for a while probably knew I was going to have to riff on O.J. this morning. Hey, it's Friday. Let's skip war, illegal alien crime, and economic turmoil as we head into the weekend. As long as Joe Biden is president, there will be plenty of all of that waiting for us on Monday. 

"O.J. Simpson was far and away the most famous acquitted murderer in my lifetime, and I've been around for a while. You know, even if he had been convicted, he'd still be the most famous murderer since I've been alive. Sure, John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy had higher body counts, and Jeffrey Dahmer's victims were also meal prep, but none of them had the seemingly endless soap opera effect that O.J. had.

"There's also the fact that he was already famous when he may or may not have almost decapitated his ex-wife. 

"I lived in Los Angeles for most of the '90s but the O.J. drama all happened during a brief period when I had moved back to Tucson. You didn't have to be there, though. Once Juice got into that white Bronco for the slowest car chase in LA local news history, the nation was hooked. I had a gig at Bally's in Las Vegas that night and I was almost late to the first show because I was glued to the coverage. 

"For almost a year and a half after that, anything involving O.J. was Must-See TV. Of course, this was before streaming. 

"The news of O.J.'s death really perked up social media. Let's be honest; not many people believe he was innocent. I'm sure some do, but I've never met any of them. The dark humor memes were plentiful yesterday." . . . 

OJ Fact Check: Juror Who Raised Black Power Fist Was a Black Panther

"In one of the most shocking moments of “The People v OJ Simpson” finale, one of the African-American jurors gives O.J. Simpson a raised-fist “black power” salute moments after the not guilty verdict is delivered.

"Did it really happen? Yes. And the show left out an amazing detail about the juror. Welcome to O.J. Fact Check.

Yes, a juror really did give Simpson the raised fist as he left the courtroom. His name was Lionel (Lon) Cryer, and as The New York Times reported, he was “a former Black Panther whom prosecutors had inexplicably left on the panel.”

OJ Simpson died owing more than $100MILLION to families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown - as they pledge to go after late NFL star's estate | Daily Mail Online   . . ."OJ Simpson died owing his murder victim's family more than $100 million – and they say they're still going after the money.

"Simpson, who died in Nevada on Wednesday age 76, was found liable in civil court for $33.5 million for the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson in 1997. The Goldman family has been pursuing the growing debt ever since.

"An attorney for Ron's father Fred said due to Simpson's failure to pay, the debt with interest has ballooned to over $100 million, and said he will be 'going to work on' collecting anything they can from Simpson's estate, even after the Juice's death." . . .

. . ."One last time, for old time's sake," said one witness who watched the white Bronco roll by followed by dozens of police cruisers. "He died as he lived. It's poetic when you think about it. And you have to feel for the police, too. They never really did catch him, did they? And yet here they are, still pursuing him. Really makes you think.". . .

. . ."At publishing time, crowds along the road were cheering as O.J. stayed ahead of the police one last time. "He did it again!" said onlooker Shawn Grimes. "I mean, he didn't ‘do it.' That's not what I meant. Sorry, that was a poor choice of words."
