This is clearly the most outdated question anyone can ask, yet Mike Gilbert is releasing a book entitled “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder.” In the book, Gilber claims, among other things, that O.J. admitted killing Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Click here for a lengthy tv interview with the author, if you still care.
Unless you lived under a rock or were not yet born in the 90’s, then you know O.J. Simpson was found civilly liable and ordered to pay more than $35 million to the Goldman family for Ron Goldman’s wrongful death.
Popsquire update…
OJ still owes approximately $40 million, which includes accumulated interest.
OJ appealed the 2006 renewal of the judgment, claiming that his move to Florida stripped the Los Angeles of Superior Court of jurisdiction.
The California Court of Appeal decided yesterday to deny OJ’s appeal, thereby leaving the judgment in tact.
The attorney for Fred Goldman said it best: “A plane ticket to Miami is not a free pass for a wrongful death judgment.”
In honor of the Goldman family, Popsquire dedicates the Michael Jackson classic, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” Sing along!
As a lawyer, Popsquire has learned that there are always two sides to a story. The recent example of this involves O.J. Simpson, a man who represents one of the biggest pop culture/law collisions the world has ever seen. Here’s the deal…
Yesterday, TMZ reported that O.J.’s gal pal, Christy Prody, “suffered bruises and head injuries on Monday — but it was because of a fall — and not at the hand of the Juice.”
“Once Prody was examined it became clear that she had more injuries than could have been caused by the fall. She had numerous large bruises and abrasions on her face, arms, legs and buttocks. Police are still investigating, despite an erroneous report on the Web site TMZ.com yesterday saying that Prody’s injuries were caused by the fall. Sources very close to the situation tell The ENQUIRER that information is incorrect.”
Popsquire’s perspective…
Although Popsquire is inclined to rely on TMZ’s credibility, it’s hard to believe the “I fell” excuse. One can’t help but wonder whether there’s more to a story when O.J. is involved.
Popsquire obviously must encourage everyone to watch tonight’s premiere episode of MyNetworkTV’s show, “Jail.”
Starring the most recognizable collision between pop culture and law — O.J. Simpson — this debut promises to be highly entertaining with statements from Simpson including, “I have always believed in the jury system.”
Popsquire nominates these two songs to open the show. Which do you prefer?
Popsquire remembers where he was when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder in 1995. Do you? It looks like 2008 may provide us with some O.J. memories as well…
As an update to this recent post, Popsquire presents you with this video of a Las Vegas judge scolding O.J. for his “arrogance or ignorance — or both.” And, she doubled his bail to $250,000!
Popsquire’s pop quiz: When someone is arrested, do they have to shell out the entire bail amount to get out of jail?
Nope. Generally, a bail bond agent will ask for 10-15% of the full bail amount as security to obtain a defendant’s release. The bail agent is, in effect, lending the defendant money for a fee. If the defendant skips bail, however, the bail agent is responsible for the entire bail amount.
Popsquire never thought he’d ask this question…What do O.J. Simpson and Jessica Sierra have in common? Judges are telling both of them to SHUT UP.
As Popsquire described in this recent post, a Florida Judge scolded Jessica Sierra for talking to the press, telling her: “You are not a celebrity. You are a drug addict.”
Now, as described in this motion, O.J. was taken into police custody today for allegedly attempting to dissuade a co-defendant from testifying and cooperating with law enforcement.
If true, this means that O.J. may be in violation of his bail agreement, which specifically forbids him from having direct or indirect contact with any victims, witnesses or co-defendants involved in his Nevada criminal case.
The hearing on the O.J. motion is scheduled for January 18, 2008. Popsquire will be peeping out the situation and keeping you informed. Stay tuned!
