I hope he enjoys hell.

Hope it was painful.

@@@@my thoughts go to his younger kids with Nicole. They have had such a crazy life due to no fault of their own.

There had been a murder (Dad hired hitman to kill his wife) near me about a year earlier than OJ and there were kids around the same age. People around us knew that family and just everything was so hard on the kids-losing mom, learning Dad was involved, having a lot of positive memories of Dad before so trying to wrap their minds around loving Dad/hating Dad/how do I feel. Plus every life event is Mom is not here, Mom's family hates Dad, Dad is still here, trying to be involved. When I hear updated on the local kids (now grownups), I think of OJ and Nicole's kids.

Even with the death of Dad, none of it is over and they probably have so many feelings and feelings that conflict each other and no one else can understand. I hope they find some support and peace.

Also want them to do an autopsy, am curious about CTE and how it affected OJ so others can get the help they need.

I just saw a video clip of his white bronco chase with the song Highway to Hell playing.
Not gonna lie, I chuckled a bit.

I hope he enjoys hell

@@@ Yea--those poor kids of his have had such a hard life. I do hope they find peace. I just read his wikipedia page since I honestly don't remember much about him.

This part stuck out to me: He started dating Christie Prody after he was aquitted. She stated that she often feared for her life during the relationship. Like, no shit, you were dating a murderer!

Anyway--he didn't really live a life of a good person after the whole Nicole Brown thing so yeah...I hope his illness was painful.

I liked DH's reaction "he's gonna need a better attorney than Cochran to get past his next judge"

I had forgotten he served 9 years in prison for the robbery.

Oh well.

There was a low speed pursuit today in Baltimore. I couldn’t help but laugh - was the woman doing it in OJs honor?

I hope if they do find evidence of CTE, they share that. We need to do so much more in terms of awareness and ultimately change.

Executor of O.J. Simpson's estate plans to fight payout to the families of Brown and Goldman

“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he told the Review-Journal. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”

let's all remember Brown's family is probably mostly his own kids at this point, and those legal fees for that executor are coming out of their inheritance from him. So he's a special kind of asshole.

The executor is already walking his statement back a little.

On Sunday, LaVergne clarified his initial statement as NBC News reports, saying he was referring to a debt collection lawyer who he said was working with the family, who “within an hour we announced Simpson’s death, is bashing Simpson and all this stuff, ‘We’re going to do this and that.’”



“In hindsight, in response to that statement that ‘it’s my hope they get zero, nothing,’ I think that was pretty harsh,” LaVergne said. “Now that I understand my role as the executor and the personal representative, it’s time to tone down the rhetoric and really get down to what my role is as a personal representative.”

with OJ gone gone now, and Diggs traded maybe Buffalo's football curse will be lifted?
