Juice on the loose
The Juice is loose - and this time it’s absurd. O.J. Simpson is in court again, as the sole defense witness for himself against charges of auto burglary and battery charges. In his testimony in a Florida courtroom Tuesday, Simpson asserted, among other things, that he never had to lie with his life depending on it, and that he had never been accused of being an actor - a comment that produced laughter throughout the courtroom. Facing up to 16 years in prison if convicted, Simpson answered a series of questions in cross-examination, some of which were barred as Prosecutor Abbe Rifkin began treading the line on items relating to his ex-wife, and the criminal trial in which he was accused of killing Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. During normal times this news might make more prominent headlines, although it really shouldn’t.
