It's kind of funny that his pensions from the NFL and SAG can't be touched for the payments that were awarded in the civil suit. Or maybe that's not funny, but I remember the amount he was ordered to pay being some excessively ridiculous number. |
He was sued for $25m plus legal costs. So far it's estimated he's paid about $5m.
However, Oprah was asked if she would ever interview OJ and she said never.......unless he admitted that he did it in the interview. People are speculating that the fee for that interview could be in excess of $20m, meaning it could be OJ's ticket to financial freedom.
The irony is quite beautiful - he's free if he admits what he did. |

Does double jeopardy apply if the person confesses later on I wonder? |

Traditionally double jeopardy has made it so that one can't be tried again, even if they confess later on. However, I believe there was a case a few years ago where someone got off and then bragged about how they got off even though they were guilty and the prosecutors used the admission as new evidence or something like that.
I can't remember all the rules of double jeopardy. It can get a bit complex lol |

Yeah, I can't imagine OJ going on Oprah and being like, "Yeah, I did it...  " |

Well burn her anyways.
I wonder how much hell is her life going to be now... I don't think all the oxycotin in the world would help her.
Edit: Russel, i can't believe you just posted that. Purrfect! hahaha |

Not totally sure about that. I thought the laws on double jeopardy were kind of solid, i.e you get one bite at the cherry.
One thing they can do however is charge you with another crime, if there is new evidence - Normally, they cannot use the old evidence as that was part of the old case, but if the admission led to new evidence (i.e murder weapon etc), they could try the same person for a new crime as long as it was not on the original charges.
So for instance, with Casey Anthony, they could charge her with Kidnapping or Child Endangerment or GBH (whatever was not on the original ticket) if they found a murder weapon or new forensic evidence.
I think the problem though, is that you have to legally prove it's a discrete crime, and not just a sidestep to get them for the original charges.
Don't forget - if someone is found guilty on one crime, they can still be tried for another different crime so the same applies to double jeopardy, I think? |
