Comments on: O.J. Simpson finally convicted http://theblemish.com/2008/10/oj-simpson-finally-convicted/ Better than a slap to the face Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rosie http://theblemish.com/2008/10/oj-simpson-finally-convicted/#comment-56341 Rosie Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:09:34 +0000 http://theblemish.com/?p=21251#comment-56341 Why do people care whether O.J. Simpson is convincted for some crime? No one cared when Robert Blake was found not guilty for his wife's murder. No one cared when Phil Spector's trial ended in a mistrial. The media claimed that no one wanted to re-create the media circus of the Simpson trial. But when Simpson is convincted for attempting to steal some sports memorabilia that he claimed once belonged to him . . . suddenly both the media and the public are interested again. They don't care when two white male celebrities escape conviction, yet they care when a black male celebrity escapes conviction for the murder of two white people. If Robert Blake ever get convicted for attempted robbery, are you going to make this big of a fuss? I rather doubt it. Why do people care whether O.J. Simpson is convincted for some crime?
