Don't You Need To Admit Wrongdoing When Up For Parole?

[SoCalMusicLover]

Sounds like he's still maintaining what he did was not wrong. I thought the parole board is not there to argue guilt, but to admit that he was sorry and that he was wrong.

1. He will always be an arrogant and narcissistic man.

2. Amazing How Far Charisma Will Take You

He still sounds like the same OJ. Folks like him and Drumpf have the swagger and attitude that makes them seem personable, but they're just NARCISSISTIC ASSHOLES.

3. You don't "have to" do anything in particular

You can even do this:

What the board decides to do with it, is up to them.

4. i'm not listening, but in case it's relevant, remember he was found not guilty of the murder charges

the parole board has no legal basis on which to expect him to show remorse for anything other than the later charges of which he was found guilty (and i suppose, any in-prison misbehavior).

[SoCalMusicLover]

6. That's Not What He's Arguing

He is going on and on about how his Vegas armed robbery was not wrong, since it was his stuff....blah, blah, blah.

[unblock]

8. ok, gotcha.

[malaise]

21. There are folks who will never get over that

Apparently double jeopardy only applies to some folks.
I never gave a shit about OJ but I'm really tired of folks who are still dealing with the 1995 trial.

27. I'm sure the Simpsons and Goldmans disagree

Dude's filth.

[WoonTars]

5. He got done for stealing his own property that was returned to him by the State.

....He should be in jail, but not for this charge...

[SoCalMusicLover]

7. Armed Robbery

He had the right to his stuff. He didn't have to go in with thugs and guns to take it back. There were other courses of action far more legal.

9. the debt collection business would look a whole lot uglier if that were the case!

[WoonTars]

10. He wasn't armed. He never threatened anyone with a gun.

...

[SoCalMusicLover]

11. Someone Was Armed

He was convicted of Armed Robbery. Doesn't matter if he was the one with the gun, or one of the guys that came with him.

[WoonTars]

13. He was convicted because of his name..

...and his past...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. What about the posse he brought with him? Wasn't there a gun?

[WoonTars]

14. The two other guys that were armed and threatened the victims?

Yes, those two guys had guns. O.J. didn't.

[YCHDT]

15. Come on ... They were acting under his instructions and they all intended to take back property.

[WoonTars]

16. You were there? You know what was said?

Interesting.

[YCHDT]

18. OJs own words ?!?!? Really!?!? Were the reality people

[WoonTars]

20. His own words, from today, "i didn't know anyone had a gun"...

...not sure what part is confusing...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Lol. Two guys standing, even if you believe him, behind him and he knows nothing about it.

Laughable.

[WoonTars]

23. Do you frisk everyone you go into a room with? I know i don't.

....

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Lol. No, but I don't burst in to rooms and tell my henchmen not to let anybody out of here either.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

17. Just like at a bank robbery when one guy has a gun

and the other guy doesn't, the guy with the gun gets convicted,
the guy without the gun is acquitted.

[Ms. Toad]

19. That's generally sufficient.

If you engage in criminal activity with others, you can typically be convicted of the worst crime committed as part of that collective activity. It's called accomplice liabilty.

FWIW, there have been people executed for murder who weren't the actual killers - while the actual killers cut a deal and received a lesser sentence. (And those people weren't convicted because of who they were - they were convicted because that's the way accomplice liablity works.)

[DLevine]

25. The parole board should have called him out when he lied to them.

He said he's led a conflict-free life. Tell that to his wife Nicole, who made 9 separate calls to 911 when Simpson beat and threatened to kill her. One incident put her in the hospital. Oh, that's right, we can't tell her, she's dead. Simpson got no jail time for that, just community service and probation. He's a monster.

26. He's just like

The maggot in chief.
