    TODAY !

    POLICE ANNOUNCE THEY SOLVED THE ADAM WALSH MURDER CASE.

    TO BAD THEY DID NOT SOLVE IT EARLIER DURING THE PAST 27 YEARS OF INVESTIGATION.

    THE SUSPECT DIED JUST SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE LAST JOHN WALSH SHOW.

    I DON'T KNOW IF THE SUSPECT DID IT, THERE WILL NEVER BE A TRIAL, POLICE CLOSE OUT CASE AFTER SUSPECT IS DEAD.

    A LOT EASIER TO SOLVE CASES THAT WAY.

    I am glad the ordeal is over . That trial set race relations in this country back 100 years in racial progress. I am glad that all the angry white people including the judge who wanted nothing until Black OJ ( a very stupid man) get his just due for killing the precious white woman.

    I feel sorry for the children of Nicole and OJs children the real victims who will have to live with this for years to come, and Ron Goldman the innocent party in this case who lost his life for nothing, Nicole because she was used by her family as a pawn to improve their economic status including her sister. Her family neglected her cry for help from that madman OJ. May both and Nicole and Ron finally rest in peace that OJ is finally in jail . Maybe the Brown's can feel redeemed and the sister will really continue to work on the problem of domestic violence. Hopefullly Ron Goldman's dad can now work out his unresolved issues with his son now that he has received money, status and an OJ conviction. We are tired of looking at his angry hate filled face. I feel sorry for his wife who lost her son and still live with her husband.

    My brother, a Black man was tragically murdered too and no hate in the world for the perpetrators of his murder can bring my brother back. HIs murderers (white and hispanic) never served jail time for the crime. Life does go on although the memory of that loved one will always be near.

    Simpson was acquitted of the Goldman murder. I never understood how he was tried for the same crime twice. Double jeopardy? As to his last conviction, 33 years tells me he was really tried for the same crime three times. Maybe now we won't have to see Goldman blathering on every time Simpson's name is in the news.

      Simpson wasn't tried for the same crime twice. The judge in this case is known for handing down tough sentences that match the crimes. Had there not been a weapon involved, Simpson wouldn't be looking at the time he was given. As it is, he'll be eligible for parole in nine years.

      Though Simpson was aquitted in the joke of the century trial, he was convicted in a civil case. The Goldman's had every right to "blather on" as you put it.

        Save it 44. This was revenge and you know it. Honkies have been getting away with murdering blacks for centuries. You red necks didn't like the feeling when OJ got away--did you? His sentencing was over the top. Murderers get less time.

    OJ GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER
    (Grandma/Osama Got Run Over By a Reindeer)
    WilliamBanzai7

    (chorus)
    OJ got run over by a reindeer
    Walking out of his cell Christmas eve
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa
    But as for the Goldmans and the Browns they believe

    He'd been caught robbing football memorabilia
    So the jury said he had to go
    But as he sat in his cell block
    Defiant as he was, he said, "Hell, no!"

    When we found him Christmas morning
    It was clear he'd been attacked
    There was a note stuck to his forehead
    It said, "Its over Simpson time for some pay back!"

    (repeat chorus)

    Now we're all so proud of Johnny Cochran
    He's been taking this so well
    See him in his office
    Knowing that Simpsons going to be joining him in celebrity H-e-l-l

    It's bad for business without OJ
    No more TV trials and Court TV quacks.
    And we just can't help but wonder
    Will Ford use bailout money to buy that Bronco back?

    (repeat chorus)

    Now the famous glove is on the table
    See Marcia Clark dance a jig (Ah!)
    And the famous blood stained Bruno Magli foot print
    That F Lee Bailey claimed was rigged!

    Well theres a moral to this story
    Celebrity wife murderers watch out for yourselves!
    You should not be using guns and two bit hoodlums
    Stealing back all the celebrity junk you once had to sell!

    (repeat chorus)

      The only joy in this verdict is seeing hate-filled whoremongers, bigots, thieves, liars, and demons such as yourself singing their own final destiny... and they thought they were doing it to OJ. This was just a means of your sentencing yourself through your wretched, wicked hearts. Just wait until you have your day in the court of spiritual justice... lets see who will be laughing and kicking up their chalk bones then.

    I think that the Goldman's are very mercenary people.
    They won a 33 million dollar case and were dead set on collecting.

    They will never find closure untntil they forgive O.J. in their hearts.
