[edit] Deletion

I created this page because I see this becoming a huge story pretty soon. The police dont place 6 felony charges just to have them dropped by Wednesday. However, if the charges are dropped on September 19th 2007 in front of judge Zimmerman, then I would agree and delete this page.--Anais1983 21:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

Since it's come up.. we don't need to invoke some "We can never do quotes" rule. The quotes section bothered me too, because it's not encyclopedic writing. I agree it should be removed. If people can work the quotes into the article coherently, that's fine (but I doubt we need to- there's no shortage of proper news sources on this. We should be careful to avoid anything resembling "investigative reporting"- it's ourside our scope here. Friday (talk) 23:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I will try and put the quotes into the article very soon.--Anais1983 02:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I have a strong feeling this case is going to be big. Not as big as the murder case but close to it so I don't think you need to delete this page yet. Also the one of the victims had suffered a heart attack but he is still alive for now plus he reviled that he created offshore accounts for O.J. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.206.89.65 (talk) 19:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inmate Number?

I noticed that the inmate number listed on this page is misreferenced by another individual on the main OJ Simpson page. Do we have the mug shots posted somewhere to verify who has which inmate number? 14:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC) User:OptimumCoder

I agree inmate numbers are same for 2 people? I will look into it.--Anais1983 21:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TMZ a valid source?

Are they? I see them cited here. While the layout is physically "blog style", they do have their own news television show now. Does being laid out blog-style for their formatting invalidate them as a source? • Lawrence Cohen 19:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

No. TMZ.com was the source of two of the biggest stories of 2006, the Mel Gibson DUI incident and Michael Richards. Plus, they have been the source of other minor stories about celebrities. And yes, they have a TV show now. MrBlondNYC 20:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

"Does being laid out blog-style for their formatting invalidate them as a source?" Man your an idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.128.75 (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Humh, Larry Cohen has called some of my comments "nonsense" @ least once,....

I think that "nonsense" should be applied rarely, &, in a way that does not destroy self-esteem; I contend that "idiot" should be even more rare,...

... for a variety of reasons.

If I am ever similarly nasty, I am sorry.

Let's try to avoid so completely obliterating each other.

I say that w/o claiming true perfection.

Further, he had merely posed a question, here.

[edit] cnn zone Time-Warner zone msnbc zone General Electric zone

This morning the networks had been struggling w/ what to bleep; maybe this article should be tied-in w/ various censorship articles.

Could that be?

Does Orenthal's story sometimes resemble the Simpsons? Had there been some years when Nicole's condominium had been very near to one of Fox' office-buildings?

This is a valid subject to have on Wikipedia. I am writing a paper on the legal proceedings of this case for my Judicial Process class. The information in the media is confusing and does not paint a clear picture as to what has already occur and what will happen.

As for the preliminary hearing section, Judge Bonaventure decided the case will go to trial. Three of Simpson's co-defendants have testified against him and plead guilty to lesser charges as part of a plea bargain. Cashmore in particular plead guilty to being an accessory to robbery. He testified that as they were leaving the hotel room, Simpson said to his co-conspirators, " 'Gentlemen, we didn't have any guns.'" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.65.177.98 (talk) 05:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 400 jurors

I added this latest on his June 20 hearing: *Court officers and attorneys announced on May 22, 2008, that long questionnaires with at least 115 queries will be given to a jury pool of 400 or more. Prosecutors and defense counsels disagreed on at least 3 questions, and Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass scheduled arguments on the June 20 hearing on pretrial motions.Afp.google.com, 400 jurors could be screened for OJ Simpson trial --Florentino floro (talk) 09:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
