O.J. Simpson Gets the "Real Killer" At Last!

This week we saw the strange new case of O.J. Simpson, who was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of armed robbery and kidnapping. They say he could face life in prison if convicted of all charges.

I have no doubt that Simpson murdered Nicole Simpson and Ron Brown; the evidence was overwhelming, particularly the blood evidence and DNA. But he got off, a clear case of jury nullification - that's where the jury renders a verdict opposite to what the evidence suggests.

I hear O.J. hasn't been living in pig heaven since the black jury let him off the hook. He is a pariah, shunned wherever he goes. He has neither respect nor a steady source of income, other than his pension fund. So how does this all equate to his recent new arrest?

My feeling is that O.J. sees himself as a criminal and someone who should be behind bars. I think his subconscious merely guided him to fulfill the role of a convict, a role he knows full well that he deserves. I think that O.J. punished himself.
