All I will say is that he never caught the real killer as he sought to do.

I think Golf kept getting in the way.

Nothing else to say. He wasn't a popular public figure.

It's from The Onion, yup.

Hopefully, any money left in his estate will be forked over to the Goldmans. They deserve it all.

All I'm going to say is this, the conversation at the pearly gates is going to be interesting. In all seriousness though he was a talented player and charismatic figure, but as a actor I was never too impressed. The documentary OJ made in America is however a masterpiece. Controversial figure but may all associated with that horrific day in history rest in peace and so may legacy of it.

The killer finally gets his justice

Nothing to say about his passing, but I will second the ESPN documentary that Kev mentioned. O.J.: Made in America. It does a magnificent job chronicling O.J.'s rise to becoming one of the biggest celebrities in the 1970s and the subsequent fall. An individual who seemingly had the world by the tail and threw it away. A modern day tragedy in a lot of ways; more especially for those who lost their lives and family members.

- Walter.

Walter,

I am so happy you watched that documentary. So did I.

I want you to confirm something as I don't want anyone to think I made this up...

There is a pivotal moment in the third act of that documentary where O.J.'s manager is being interviewed and says that O.J. admitted to him that he killed Nicole and Ron.

I don't think anyone else has stepped forward to reveal that kind of information.

Ron, it has been a long time since I viewed the documentary, but I believe your recollection is correct regarding O.J.'s manager and the absence of confirmation from any other insider. I recall certain aspects of the documentary but a lot of it is now hazy.

- Walter.

I wonder if the Oscars will mention him.

I wonder if the Oscars will mention him.

Maybe Kimmel will come out and ask fans to text their vote in. Maybe Juice can do what Robert Blake ( a great actor) wasn't able to do.

<— If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit

I wish Norm had lived to see this day.

The MSM paint him as a saint, the opposite paint him for what he truly was

I am NOT trying to be kind. O.J. was found guilty of murder in the civil suit the Goldmans brought against him so let’s not waste time wondering whether he was or not. Because he killed his wife/the mother of his children and Ron Goldman in cold blood he does not deserve to rest in peace. His victims certainly do, but he absolutely does not.

I loved that documentary, Walter. It was a very well-told story of the fulfillment of American dream and the fall of an American icon.
