[Grovenet] Murder He Wrote: OJ

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

According to an interview I heard of PBS, the money is typically NOT
refunded. It was payment for what's already been delivered. And I also heard
that the lawyers are making moves to try to intercept it for their clients. 

Something this extreme raises interesting questions. Suppose we call for no
public words about John Kerry, for example. He is clearly anathema to many
people. Why should his interests ever be made public? Why don't we stop all
public comments by President Bush. Many think he's a "murderer" of hundreds
of thousands, not just two people. 

At what point do we stop censoring the press and allow the public to vote on
what they want or don't want by whether they pursue it? 

If this book can be banned and discussion on public media be denied, then
the Holy Bible can be banned and all discussion of the Gospel can be removed
from the public media, or any other text and subject someone chooses.

Remember that in our country Justice wears a blindfold. She doesn't consider
the subject matter, only whether the handling of something applies equally
to all. 

People who want a country where it's legal to ban things like this book or
the discussion have a choice of a number of them in the middle east where an
Ayatollah decides what is okay and what's not based on his interpretation of
religious law. And those countries do believe that we Americans are flawed,
fatally flawed, for not having our own Ayatollah. 

Personally, I have no argument with Mr. Murdoch's decision, but I hope the
book and the discussion find a venue where they can become public. It's what
was do in a free country.

There's some question that they would have gotten it anyway; also it may be
that about $2m. has already been paid. The book may still come out-nothing
stopping someone from publishing it.

The lawyers for the Goldman and Nicole's families will likely try for any $$
that exchanged hands, to fulfill the $3.5m. wrongful death judgement they
won from OJ in civil court that he weaseled out of paying.

So...under these circumstances, what happens to the reported $3.5 million to
go to his children?
