ESPN 30 for 30: O.J. Made in America (1 Viewer)

Parole board member: Have you addressed the alcohol problem by participating in the program as you said you would?

OJ:   I became commissioner of the softball league and didn't have time.

(paraphrasing, of course)   :lmao:

That's incredible lol

 
Arnelle Simpson: "I'm a little nervous, so bear with me"

Parole board member: "So are we"

Gold, pure Gold, Jerry.

 
He needs to pull a Ellis Boyd Redding here:

Parole Hearings Man: Ellis Boyd Redding, your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?

Red: Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.

Parole Hearings Man: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society...

Red: I know what you think it means, sonny. To me, it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?

Parole Hearings Man: Well, are you?

Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bull#### word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a ####.

 I forget but how did he go to prison for taking back his property.

It wasn't his property. He was told that a memorabilia collector had a bunch of his personal belongings, so O.J. decided to rob the guy (at gunpoint) to get "his stuff" back.

But it turns out that all the guy had was a bunch of signed cards and other items that he'd legally purchased at collector's shows. None of it was O.J.'s personal stuff.

It was said during his parole hearing that he has all the stuff now per California courts.

Wait, I'm confused...did they say that O.J. still has the stuff that he stole from the memorabilia collector?

From what I heard yes.   I guess the dispute of who owned the merchandise was settled and O.J. is in possession of the items.

He may still get paroled, but this couldn't have gone worse for OJ.  Bad lawyer, complete lack of remorse, mandatory course not taken because "he was too busy"....oof

Edit "Sorry for the way things turned out" in his closing remarks is the closest to remorse he put forward

Something satisfying about hearing this guy beg and plead for his freedom.

I hope they dont give it to him, but I think they do. 

 
If he is granted parole, that decision was made well before this hearing, and the 30 minutes of deliberation are for show.

 
I'll call a 3-1 vote. Bald guy on the right side of the panel (not KC Chiefs tie guy) is voting against.

Let's be honest here, OJ aside, that is how it should be. Years of behavior while in prison should count roughly 10000% more than being able to smile nicely and act like you're sorry/rehabilitated for a half hour.
