Subject: RE: BS: Boycott advertisers, FOX TV & O.J.
No pretense to objectivity here--this is from a Wall St Journal column by Christopher Hitchens--but if anybody has any FACTS contradicting this, I'd like to hear them.
At any rate, Hitchens says Simpson definitely did get away with it---never even paid anything on the civil suit. He was able to shelter his assets under "Florida's shady homestead law"--(how did Florida get involved?)--and had his NFL pension declared inviolate.
Another question--what happened to attorney fees--in both cases?
Hitchens also says Simpson can hardly read or write--therefore could not have written this book himself--as often happens, it was ghost-written. Anybody have info on this?
