The Juice Squeeze

If you think that you're going to see the name O.J. Simpson followed by a description of a kitten rescue from a tree, or the number of meals ladled at a homeless shelter, you are sorely mistaken. The Juice is a double murderer, and crime is in his blood.

Case in point, as the ex-football star is the prime suspect in the theft of memorabilia from a hotel room. The Juice says he only went into a casino hotel room to retrieve memorabilia that he felt was stolen from him. Was that the same feeling you "felt" when you butchered your ex-wife and Ron Goldman? That certainty that what you were doing was right, regardless of the legal or moral ramifications?

"It's stolen stuff that's mine. Nobody was roughed up," Simpson told the AP. He said auction house owner Tom Riccio called him several weeks ago to say some collectors "have a lot of your stuff and they don't want anyone to know they are selling it."

So?

O.J. has had decades of collectibles sold, and more confiscated under the terms of his civil suit...why would a phone call make him think the stuff was his, especially with no mention of him missing them previously.

Riccio had set up a meeting with collectors under the guise that he had a private collector interested in buying Simpson's items. "We walked into the room," Simpson said in the telephone interview. "I'm the last one to go in and when they see me, it's all 'Oh God.'"

Yeah, because you're a killer, and they thought you'd murder them. There is no doubt he will have to go on the run again, and blood will flow along the way.
