An American kangaroo trial in the making Part 2 - 9.18.2007.2

Continued from An American kangaroo trial in the making Part 1...

Another item that might make you think this is all just the means by which many in America will be able to enact revenge against OJ for his INNOCENT verdict over a decade ago is the bail. Normally bail is set at $150,000 for similar charges. That’s a total amount of bail. I doubt that the bail announced tomorrow will be so low.

Mark my words. I doubt that OJ will be given a plea. This will go to trial, and the nation will watch as never before waiting to hear the words guilty. Regardless of what happens in the trial, the outcome will be guilt for enough time to see OJ die in jail. Aliens could come down and state they commited the initial murders, or that they took control of OJ last week and he will still be found guilty. Thomas Riccio can be found to have organized this whole thing as a means to trap OJ, knowing he would react as he has, and proof of his consiracy to do this can be found and OJ will be convicted. America wants this more than picking the next President or getting out of Iraq with a win.

Major news media will not mention any question of the motives of Riccio. Interviews with him to date have yet to ask the obvious question why he taped this. There has been no question of potential entrapment, or the oddity of the circumstances of how this all came together. Major news commentator have been literally giddy with this news and bubbling far too much to bother. The idea that ANY case involving OJ going to jail cannot be tried failly has been avoided actively. I saw one person mention that OJ can never get a fair trial, and was cut off immediately.

After more than a decade, during which references to OJ being guilty of murder and anger of this has been mentioned no less than once a month at least by all the major news media, America now has a chance to get blood. Nothing seems possible to prevent that.

If that’s not a kangaroo court, I’m not sure what could be. At the least, some should be honest and say ‘I don’t care, I just want to put OJ in jail. He’s a Black man that killed a White woman and man. He needs to die. Lynch him.’ At least then they would be honest.


**As a side note, I don’t care about OJ. I don’t care if he did or did not kill Goldman and Brown. The original case was suspect, with contamination of evidence by police, and bad prosecution. 12 peers, some White, said OJ was innocent. It should have ended there, as it has for many rich Whites, like Ted Kennedy.

I don’t know if this current situation was set up. It has elements of such. I do agree that OJ can’t get a fair trial. I agree that part of America shares the feelings expressed by Sheppard Smith. I do believe that a Black man in America can’t walk away from a murder of Whites, like a White can and has walked away from murders of Blacks.

This is what I think, what do you think?

An American kangaroo trial in the making - 9.18.2007.1

“A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial, sometimes likened to a drumhead court-martial or Drumhead trial, is a sham legal proceeding or court. Kangaroo courts are judicial proceedings that deny due process in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially made in advance, usually for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all.”

Now apply that to the current OJ Simpson proceedings. There seems to be a remarkable applicability of Kangaroo trial to what is going on. And none of the major news media is picking up on this. Rather they are feeding into it.

Were it possible for OJ Simpson to be killed for these charges, that are rumored to be increased, I have no doubt he would be, and I’d be referring to this as a lynching. It’s that obvious to me.

This is the 5th day of news about the OJ Simpson case leading the news, though finally it is not the sole item news media is speaking about. Mind you that this is the predominant story, receiving almost 10 – 15 minutes of coverage per hour. That kind of coverage is ridiculous, but not uncommon for the nature of the sensationalized reporting that is common today, in my opinion.

Rumors are now appearing that 2 more federal charges may be handed down against OJ. Kidnapping is one of them, coersion is the other. That would make 10 charges. It seems that the prosecution is just dumping every charge possible on this man. I would say that they are trying to ensure that with so much being thrown against the wall, something sticks and he is in jail for the rest of his life. And the injustice of this mounts.

News has also been reported that Thomas Riccio is going to be the prime witness in the prosecutions case. This is the man responsible for the audio tape that has reached the news media and internet. Yet I have not heard certain questions that should be asked and noted.

First, it’s known that OJ knew Riccio for some time. Riccio sells memorabilia. He was the one that told OJ of the items in question. He did not notify the police about the potentially stolen goods. He did suggest and set up, it’s alleged, the ‘sting’ that OJ enacted. He was the only one that’happened’ to have an audio device and taping the situation without notifying anyone about this. Does that sound like a trap, otherwise known as entrapment, to anyone?

Riccio is not being charged with any crimes. He is getting a pass and will be the prime witness for the presecution. Odd since he factually aided and abeited a crime that involved an alleged gun. And Riccio is not getting a single charge, though the other men involved are. While Riccio planned and performed the whole incident.

I would like to know why Riccio did not involve the police? Why did he involve OJ, and organize this incident? Why did he bring a recording device? Why has the audio been allowed to be released to the public, where it is contaminating the jury pool, even though according to Nevada law it’s not admissible in court? Why is he not being charged with a single crime that he committed and organized?
