O.J. Wants Out of Jail While Conviction Is Appealed

OJ jailed.jpgO.J. Simpson wants the Nevada Supreme Court to review his armed robbery conviction he picked up last year.

That’s not surprising.

What is surprising is that Simpson wants to be released from prison while the judges review his case. The Wall Street Journal Law Blog reports:

[Simpson’s] lawyers will try to convince a trio of justices in Nevada to comb through the convictions of both Simpson and C.J. Stewart, a one-time golf partner of Simpson’s. The attorneys are also pushing to have Simpson released on bail while the conviction gets reviewed.

Are you kidding me? There isn’t a sane person in America who would argue that a convicted Juice should be released from prison pending his appeal, is there?

After the jump, O.J.’s lawyer speaks.

The Associated Press reports that O.J.’s lawyer thinks his client has a chance to be let out of jail while the judges review his conviction:

Simpson lawyer Yale Galanter has said Simpson won’t flee if he’s released, poses no danger to the community and will comply with any conditions the high court sets.

He’s not a flight risk? Umm …

I don’t think they are going to let him out of jail, pending appeal. Do you?

Elie -- being a flight risk on a murder charge is different from being a flight risk on a weapons charge. especially after you've already beaten a solid murder case.

From last year, MysTTTal believes that as long as a policeman is racist, you can kill as many people as you want (if you're black):
"I was happy that he got off back then, Fuhman was a racist cop, and I was happy that "society" learned that there is no justice when racist cops are involved."

FREE OJ!

I mean, all white cops are racist, right Elie?

They even caught the police on tape saying "we're going to get him this time." And the cop was white!!! They may as well have said "we're going to lynch him this time!"

Elie, your an incompetent Negro. Lat, your a sinful sexual deviant. Judgment day will come for you both, so I've decided to give each of you some valuable advice.

To save yourselves, you must hate yourselves.

Yes, OJ was convicted, but in Nevada.....

IF OJ had the right appellate team who put enough checks in the right punch bowl, he would be out on bail in a heart beat.

Think I jest?

Excellent. The juice references in the last paragraph are especially pertinent.

This is what happens to a BLACK MAN in the U.S. of KKK-A.

Obama should invite Juice, the robbey "victim," and the racist police who persecuted OJ to a whitehouse sit-down.

Can't we all just get along?

We have more in common with each other than we think.

Unfortunately, we have very little in common with the 3% that owns the majority of the country.

Let's stick together.

So 45,

Are you actually so retarded you think OJ was innocent of murdering his wife and Ron Goldman, or are you just as much of a piece of shit as OJ and just think it's okay to murder two people and then get away with it?

Regardless, I hope people you love get murdered, maybe then you won't be so sympathetic to fucksticks like OJ.

He is afraid to stay in prison because the inmates threatened to beat him to a pulp.
