Wheels of justice grind slowly in US
Wheels of justice grind slowly in US
For the past 13 years O.J. Simpson has walked freely after being acquitted on charges of killing his former wife and a friend.
The results of that first trial have long been subject to debate: A televised trial, a top-rate legal team, a judge who lost control of his court, allowing it to be influenced by outside forces.
The glove didn't fit, so the jury did acquit.
Later, Simpson was held responsible in a civil trial for the killing of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. He has yet to make significant reparations in that civil suit.
On Friday, a Las Vegas jury pronounced a guilty verdict on Simpson on kidnap and robbery charges over an incident in a hotel room where Simpson and his accomplices held sport memorabilia collectors at gunpoint. Justice at last!
