MSNBC just showed OJ entering the court house, with his big smirk. I hope this jerk is shown the Las Vegas courtroom isn't going to allow him to run a 3 ring circus like he was able to pull off in LA. 
IMO it is going to be hard to find any juror who doesn't know who OJ is by now....

They are showing the juror selection, and the judge is a very no nonsense judge, she told one of the attorneys who once again raised the issues of severing the two defendants and them having separate trial NO, and she told him that the issue has been litigated by the supreme court and they have said NO so the trial goes forth with the two defendants,
it looks like it will drag on for a while, with many attorneys all loving the sound of there own voices

I understand that the Oj Simpson trial starts today and thought it was to be televised. I cannot find it on my tv, and I am wondering what station is televising the trial? Or if anyone knows what is going on with it. Thanks
IMO, any crime that OJ Simpson is charged with carries a life sentence or death penalty for the murder of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.
He's a marked man. Hopefully......right between the eyes.

OOPS...I thought I'd put it in the right place. Sorry. I'm new here. I'll get the hang of it soon.
Nice to meet you Jones. Some of the nicest people are named Jones.

once jury seated trial expected to last 5 weeks, jury selection is interesting to watch just to see the amount of times the jurors lie, none of them it seems even though they live in Vegas have any knowledge of the case, or just a little knowledge
and the elephant in the room the OJ murder trial well none of them have an opinion on that, why they have all forgotten about it,
whatever happens in the trial imo he will never just be tried on the facts of this case, the previous aquittal for murder will hantg heavy on everybody, especially if the families of the murder victims from the previous trial attend
there is nothing that can be done to undo imo the wrong verdict in the murder trial,
the judge seems great though, she is funny and engaging, but brooks no dissent and keeps those lawyers in line, I think she will do all she can to keep the trial focused on these charges and keep that elephant out of the room as much as she is able

Thanks so much for this and all the updates! It's going to be interesting to see who does make it to the jury and if they really don't consider Ron & Nicole's murders while listening to the current charges.

after 2 full court days only 8 jurors have been accepted - and they will go into the pool for further individual questioning, they need 40 jurors in this pool, then the pros and the defence have a no of challenges to kick out the jurors they do not want until they have 18 jurors, the 12 members of the jury panel and the 6 alternates
there was optimisim for a time that they were moving on quite quickly, but it appears to be a bit bogged down now, the judge does try to keep it mo0ving along and it is all quite good humoured at the moment
