Florida still has the law that prevents your primary home from being taken from you to pay judgments against you, right? If so he can buy a house there and not spend the rest of his life defending against having it seized by the Goldman's.
True, there is absolutely no way they can go after his residence here once he claims it as his homestead. Only exemptions to this are property taxes, mortgage and mechanics liens, and any lien that predates the establishment of the homestead. I would assume he would file for homestead immediately after purchasing the property so the Goldmans wouldn't have time to file a lien.
I'm guessing he buys through an intermediary who then resells him the property in a transaction that will allow no daylight at all between the prospect of his ownership and it being established as his homestead.
I wouldn't even think that would be necessary. Unless someone with inside info on the property and closing date were to contact the Goldmans. They couldn't file the lien until the deed was filed with the clerk of the court which usually takes a few weeks. Simpson could leave the closing, have his power ready to get turned on with receipt in hand, head to property appraiser and file his homestead, or I'm sure what will happen is he will have an attorney handle it all, filing the homestead the same time he walks the new deed over to the clerk. Edit: Simpson already owns a residence in Florida and I am assuming it is homesteaded as, I'm sure, it would have been gone already if not.
Roughly a month after Simpson was paroled, he got banned from a Vegas casino/hotel bar in November '17 for unruly drunken behavior. Isn't that a parole violation? Who is monetarily supporting him? Does his NFL pension really pay him that much? Last I read, he's living large in a friend's mansion in Vegas. Who? I fully understand every nuance of why he was acquitted but if you saw 'OJ Simpson: The Lost Confession?', he so freaking did it. The repeated Freudian slips that he makes are extremely chilling and telling. It's pure sensationalism, but I'm more convinced than ever that he butchered two people to death. It was an interview about the book 'If I Did It' and years later. He just kept pointing the finger of guilt at himself the more he kept talking. It was pretty amazing. It was the prosecutions case to lose. They lost it. They lost it through underestimation of the rightful historic hatred and distrust of the LAPD and flat out poor choices. One juror years later even said, "I know he did it, but fukk the po-lice (not this show, another)."
The fall of O.J. Simpson was one of the saddest things in recent American culture. The older folks here remember when O.J. was the most beloved African-American figure in the culture. He did Hertz commercials running through airports. He was Leslie Nielsen's sidekick in a bunch of slapstick comedies. He even got away with marrying a blonde at a time when large parts of America were not happy with inter-racial marriage. He was probably the second-most visible African-American after Muhammad Ali for a solid two decades. Then overnight he turned into a pariah, with folks first wondering if he could have killed Nicole and Ron Goldman and then largely becoming convinced of the fact despite the aquittal. O.J.'s fall was as great as any American since Richard Nixon and like Nixon he became a cultural flashpoint, with few defenders and a lot of vitriol. I vividly remember switching over from the Knicks-Rockets NBA Finals game to the Ford White Bronco chase on CNN. I never switched back even with the Knicks fighting for their season against a better Rockets team. That's how captivating the whole saga was.
^It will always remain a story entrenched in America's consciousness. The show that I just mentioned also spelled out the coroner's report in a way I've never heard before. Nicole thinks it's Goldman, so she opens the door. Assailant hits her on the head to stun/disable her (contusion on scalp from a blow, not the result of falling), then stabbed four times in the neck. Goldman can't tell exactly what's going on, just that she's being assaulted so he rushes in to help. Assailant repeatedly slashes at him (hence all of the defensive wounds on Goldman's hands and forearms). Goldman tries to run away, but gets cornered by the fence with no means of escape, stabbed several times, most of the stab wounds fatal. Assailant goes back and grabs Nicole by the hair, lifts up her head, slashes her from ear to ear, nearly decapitating her. With Goldman more than likely already dead, assailant goes back to Goldman and makes a stab wound so deep, it severs Goldman's abdominal aortic artery. Some of that is clearly speculation, but when you listen to how it's described, it's probably not far off the mark. The bottom line is that it was complete overkill. Overkill = deeply personal. And stabbing in a rage? Symbolic of sexual penetration. Who would've been that angry to have done that except someone close to her? The Jodi Arias case is another prime example of this. Now I'm not saying serial killers and thrill killers don't do this to complete strangers (they most definitely do), but there was never any kind of a pattern related to this double homicide. All that aside, it's worth a watch just to see O.J. smugly bury and incriminate himself. It's basically a subconscious but flat out admission of guilt, but he's so stuck on himself, he doesn't even realize he's doing it. The number of times he said, "When I . . ." as opposed to "If I . . ." is astounding. He's so smugly unlikable, and arrogantly still blames Nicole for making him angry. It's almost surreal. Typical reaction towards someone even when dead that they dared to get out of an abusive relationship and strike out on their own. Rejection doesn't work well for malignant narcissists. He did it. What gets to me even more was that after his acquittal, he just couldn't shut his mouth. Most people guilty or no, would fade from the spotlight and just try to quietly go on with their lives. Not O.J. Nope. Narcissist.
I was too young to follow the OJ saga in the '90s, but he comes across as unlikable every time I've watched him speak. I am fully convinced that he got away with murder. MJ(the musician), OTOH, seemed like a nice guy who dealt with rumors about molesting children. I followed that trial closely from beginning to the not guilty verdict.
Fully convinced as well. Somewhat off topic and not for anything, but how come no-one is talking about R. Kelly? Ask me one song that I know, I couldn't tell you. Ignorance is bliss, I guess. I don't even know who he is or what he looks like, but he sounds like a giant bag of piss. Grooming underage young black girls for sex amongst other things, ewww. Why isn't this pervert in jail? Last I read he could only fill a strip club filled with strippers.
Not important and I could be wrong but I thought I remembered the Knick game being interrupted, and aggravating a lot of fans. I was watching but it didn't really bother me tho. I was glued to that story and trial the whole way every day. I remember talking to a friend about it right after the story broke and it was apparant what he had done and we were shocked and actually upset that he could have sunk to such a level. The DC Sniper was another story that I was glued to the whole time that had a similar effect on me
Yep, most definitely Knickus Interruptus. I was pitching a fit. I still have the SI issue with O.J.'s mugshot on the cover. The D.C. Sniper.(shudders), that was some Son of Sam level shit.
