What a tragic way to go, backing out your driveway.

“…Lomax, 56, was backing out of her Hollywood Hills home driveway Sunday when her vehicle overshot the roadway and somersaulted down a slope, officer Michael Lopez said…”

Geez, some sad things happening in the OJ Camp:

Melanie Lomax ~ Dies in a freak car accident
Bob Kardashian ~ Dies of Cancer
Robert Shapiro ~ Son dies from a drug overdose
Johnnie Cochran ~ Dies of a brain tumor

Hmmm..............?

:rose: :rose: :rose:

[Hey Paula]

I remember Melanie Lomax very well. She was not a proponent for OJ Simpson, that's for sure!

What a tragic accident!

:rose: In memory of Melanie Lomax

No, you get over it. I am sick and tired of you shoving it in our face and down our throats about "black" this and "white" that. You are constantly doing it and you know it! So don't tell me to "Get Over It!"

:no: :punch: :no:

Geeze, you have a fantastic memory.

I'll never, EVER forget Kardashian's face when that verdict was read.

He turned to O.J. and pretty much said, "Holy sh** man, you just got away with murder!"

His face told the entire story in that one moment.

Thanks! You know how some pictures have won the Nobel Peace Prize? Like you said, "His face told the entire story in that one moment" should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Bob Kardashian was no fool. He knew that OJ was guilty as h*ll and just got away with double-murder. What are the odds of that happening ~ for anybody?

Yep, sounds like the curse of OJ to me. I'd like to add F. Lee Bailey to the others with the bad luck. Still alive but in legal trouble. Last I heard, anyway. It's been awhile since anyone has said anything about what's going on and if he'll be tried, etc.

That's what I thought as well. There were one or two others at the defense table with that same look. Me, I just felt like someone had punched me in the stomach.

It appears you don't understand what the Nobel Peace Prize is....


A picture has never been eligible for or won the Nobel Peace Prize... Only persons or organizations involved in the advancement of World Peace are eligible to win the Nobel Peace Prize...

How did the look on Kardashian's face qualify him as the person or organization who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses???

The Nobel Peace Prize promotes and rewards the advancement of World Peace....not facial expressions or pictures of them...

I guess I don't and I stand corrected. I thank you for enlightening me though. I was just being facetious about Bob Kardashian. Geez, chill out!

2L, I think I know what you meant, tho, instead of the Nobel, maybe the Pulitzer Prize? I know there are awards for pictures out there somewhere!

That pic should have won some kind of award!

What exactly did I say that makes you think I need to chill out?

Was I shouting? swearing? insulting? angry? nasty? bashing? attacking?

OR...

Did I simply inform you of the facts regarding the Nobel Peace Prize and ask you a question about how you related it to a picture or expression?

Well its nice to see that OJ is still having a blast and loving life. Despite the effort that everyone is engaged in to make him miserable he can still smile. I dont doubt that F. Lee Bailey, Chris Darden and everyone else involved in the OJ case is recieving maligned treatment due to the unpopular outcome of the case.

OJ is a murderer? Well some people dont mind that at all. There are some people who are still walking around daily with the people who are responsible for the murders of their family members here in the US. Yet rhacism in America refuses to investigate and prosecute these people. They would rather wait for the victims to die off.

Yeah, that's just ridiculous. It makes me ill to even think about the things he did & here he is having the time of his life with no regrets and no remorse. I hope Nicole & Ron both haunt him.

I think the man is probably a sociopath. The things he's done certainly fit the profile well enough.

As you can see, posters have ignored this portion of your post. Some in America are not open to discuss racial problems within its borders, imo.

The poster made a sweepinig statement about racizm being the reason for some murderers to go unprosecuted. I see plenty of white people imprisoned for murder, so unless that poster can talk specifics, what is there to debate?

Ted Kennedy and Dupont. I reiterate where is the outrage.

I think it was your third paragraph, starting to get a little huffy about the whole thing. Like I said, I am glad that you straightened me out. However, there is an award for pictures that are taken. I just don't know what it is called. There's not that many of them. I know of only two. Again, I was being facetious re: Bob Kardashian.

The accident involving Kennedy was not murder & happened approximately 30 yrs ago. Dupont was mentally ill & sentenced up to 30 years in a mental institute. You don't see the difference between either of those cases & Orenthal slashing two people to death & getting off scott free?

Did you forget that Mr. Kennedy drove into the river, left the pregnant woman inside the car, swam to shore and went sleep and was never tried. The lack of trial prevented us from knowing whether it was murder or homocide by vehicle. I believe we may be talking about two different Duponts. In fact, I am not sure if the one, who dressed as a woman, killed and dismembered his neighbor had the last name of Dupont. I certainly hope he is not the same Dupont that killed the wrestler. My point is that he was found not guilty. Your post indicates that we should forget about it, because it was 30 years ago. Will it take you thirty years to forget the O. J. criminal verdict? The case with the Dupont was 2 years ago, I think. Where is your outrage over that verdict and will you protest it for at least the next 8 years? I truly believe, whether or not we agree with the Simpson verdict, we wil benefit if we can make race an irrelevancy in America.

You seem to be confusing Dupont & Durst. There is no connection between the two. You brought up the name Dupont & I told you that Dupont was sentenced to 30 yrs in a mental institution. Now you are talking about Robert Durst. I agree that it was an outrage that Durst was found not guilty.

I think the difference is, I am not on a message board offering continual support for Kennedy, Dupont, Durst.

Thank you for the name correction, though I do believe he is related to the Duponts. Thank you for expressing your outrage on the verdict. However, I think the difference is that you are not on a message board declaring Durst to be a murder and expressing your outrage over that verdict as you have with the Simpson criminal trial verdict. Imh and ro, I think the disparity in your expressions of outrage has to do with the races of the victims and the defendant. I would be happy if I am wrong.

Where did you read that the woman was pregnant? I've never heard that before. Kennedy called the police himself & plead guilty to leaving the scene. More than I can say for Orenthal.

I forgot where I read she was pregnant, but I will research that issue. The fact that she may have been pregnant has always caused me some concern. The fact that Kennedy was not prosecuted in connection with that death leaves open several questions, imo. Did he actually go into the water. Was the accident really an accident? Why did he not call the police that night? I believe there were several people who saw Kennedy and Nancy leave the party together, and his pleading guilty to leaving the scene was inevitable rather than lofty. Perhaps, if they had offered O.J. a chance to plead and the judge comment that he has suffered enough, O. J. might have accepted the deal. Would that have been satisfactory to you?

After doing some cursory research, I was wrong about the young lady's name when I posted "Nancy". Her name is Mary Jo kopechne. I did not provide the links that I perused, but will do so if you would like. In those links there are some questions as to whether she died by suffocation or drowing and due to the lack of a complete autopsy whether or not she was pregnant or had recent sexual activity, as well as, how Kennedy a large man was able to free himself from the vehicle. A jury was deprived of hearing evidence and determing the facts in that case. One linked claimed that Kennedy arranged and paid for her bosy to be flown to her parents, which prevented the autopsy. I am just wondering why you are not as outraged over the lack of trial in that case as you apparently are over the O. J. criminal trial verdict. I am not criticizing you in any manner. I would like to know so that I can understand.

I believe that Ted Kennedy left the party with Mary Jo not Nancy.

I will explain the difference between Durst, Kennedy & Simpson for me:

I was 9 yrs old when Kennedy was in that accident, SNIPPED but I don't believe it was murder. I have no love for Ted Kennedy. I think he lived a privilged life & has been a drunk for most of his life. But, at least he's tried to do good things with his career (don't follow that much either).

I didn't follow the particulars of the Durst case either, but I think the guy is a lunatic who probably killed his ex-wife and another woman that was supposed to give a deposition relative to the investigation into the ex-wife in addition to the neighbor that he admitted to killing & cutting up. I think those jurors were idiots for buying his claim of self defense.

SNIPPED OJ & Simpson are the only two that I can say are 100% guilty in my mind.

I respect your honesty. You are willing to refer to Kennedy as an accident and, as you explained, he was found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident. I will accept that verdict. Although you called the jurors in Durst idiots, you are not as outraged over their verdict as you are with Simpson's. I saved your last sentence to show you that the two 100%ers in your mind are OJ Simpson. I know that you probably meant OJ and Peterson. I pointed to your mistake only because it might reveal and unconscious fixation on your part as it pertains to Simpson. I believe that you believe that race plays no part in your conclusions. The problem is that until we resolve the racial differences in America they will continue to create a division in America. I am open to discussing the problem with anyone in an effort to understand and resolve the problems. I doubt that a complete resolution will take place in my lifetime. I really appreciate your honesty and hope that we can continue conversing in this manner. I feel it a pitty that race plays a role in the CJS. Our difference in what the evidence supports is a direct reflection of race's role. I would like to think that if the standard in the criminal trial was a perponderance of the evidence, the verdict would have been different. It is just my hopeful view that the jury heard the evidence and decided that evidence was not sufficient in their minds to convict, without regard to race.

First off, thank you for your respectful tone today. I appreciate it.

You are right, I did mean Simpson & Peterson. I think the mistake points to my headache (and they both end in son), rather than a bias for Simpson. I was on the Peterson board ranting about him, even though he was found guilty. I had the same venom for him. I am incredulous when I read of people thinking he or OJ didn't commit those murders.

I think Durst got off because some people can't imagine why an extremely wealthy man would commit murder. It's happened before & it's absurd. There is no correlation between wealth & mental health. I did not go onto a Durst board, only because I did not follow the case closely, so I can't argue the specifics.

I hope you headache improves. Perhaps, I did not make myself clear. It is the verdict and people's unwillingness to accept it, without the outrage and demeaning remarks about the jury which concerns me. If race played a part in their decision, then it is a testament to the state of affairs within America. We can never prove this, but I am wiling to wager that, if Peterson was black and his wife White, and the verdict not guilty, there would be those expressing the same outrage. I am not offering this to inflame you or any other posters, but, I ask could it be that Durst, as a wealthy White, suffered less outrage over his verdict than did O. J. as a wealthy Black?

You made yourself clear as to your concern about racial issues in the first post, I just didn't respond as it is a very complex issue. I taped a show on 20/20 last last relative to racial basis, but I haven't watched it yet. I doubt that racial issues will ever go away, and it's sad for everyone. As said on the show last night, most of us have some biased thoughts, but it's quite another to act on those thoughts against others. 98% of my friends are not white, it just goes with living in Los Angeles. I avoid the victim mentality across the board & have no tolerance for the "it's just because I'm ______" statements. That includes: I'm a woman, I'm a certain age etc.

I think the difference in outrage for Durst & Simpson is that far more people got caught up in the Simpson case. Also, for many, the defense made it about race & that angered a lot of people. LE & the DA did not go after Simpson because he was black, they went after him because all of the evidence pointed to him. The jurors were not very well spoken & for them to come out and say they didn't understand the DNA & that domestic violence had no part in this case, was just foolish. Also, had they taken more time in deliberating, they might have been taken more seriously.

There are victims of inequalities in America. Do they have a chance to do something instead of complain. I believe they do. In the matter of race it is a little different. People have been murdered for seeking racial equality and others have learned that it is dangerous to do so. I would like to differ with the notion that the defense brought race into the case. Some of the MF's statements were made before the trial began. Please, do not forget that when he returned from Chicago he was immediately handcuffed, although he was almost as quickly released. I doubt that the DNA results were in at that time. They would not have handcuffed him if they had not deciced he was a target. While domestic violence may be indicative of abuse, it is not proof of murder. That is why the jurors may have said that. The fact that they did not understand DNA is not astonishing. It could have been a question as to how the experts presented it. At that time, it was a relatively new science, that left conclusiveness to the subjective judgment of the testor, in some instances. There was conflicting testimony as to whether or not some of the DNA results should have been identified. I doubt that racial issues will go away in my lifetime, but, if we can engage in conversations like you and I are now having, it will go a long way in shortening the divide, imho.
