It's not likely that Mr. Simpson will be found guilty and end up in jail for armed robbery. You see, the person whose room he went into said that he wouldn't press charges for some reason or another. Then again, he did press charges and Mr. Simpson was found guilty of his crime. He is in jail and an appeal is expected and pending as this update. To recap the events so far, Mr. Simpson is likely to spend a whole lot of time in jail. That is truly sad and a terrible end for a person who worked so hard during his life, only to come to such a bad end to it.

One also wonders if he, in fact, really did kill his former wife and Mr. Goldman. Thatwas a deed for which the relatives of Mr. Goldman will never forget or most likely never forgive. Regardless of how slim, there is some doubt as to his commission of that horrible crime. I watched most of that trial and I must tell you that it was more like a circus than a court room and I am surprised that there was no violence or fights among the people who were there each day and watched the trial progress to its conclusion.

It is also possible that Mr. Simpson does have some kind of behavioral problem for which he might not be responsible for such hasty actions on his own part. Does he have a dual personality? Your guess is as good as mine, but people who guess should not be on juries. One must decide the fate of the accused on the basis of the evidence.

Yes, I also wonder if what Mr. Simpson was after really was once owned by him. Well, that's what he claimed and the reason why he entered that room. Then again, he also said that he was playing a joke. Armed robbery isn't a joke, and Mr. Simpson had some help from at least one other person that I saw on the news.

Me, I wonder why Mr. Simpson didn't simply call the police after he discovered that what he claimed belonged to him was being sold and or displayed by the victim in question? He certainly had time to get a few friends to go with him to that room, and more than one gun was at the scene.

So, dear reader, your guess is as good as mine, in regard to Mr. Simpson being found guilty if the victim doesn't press charges for being robbed of whatever were the items in question. The victim will simply testify in Mr. Simpson's behalf.

It is also possible that the State's attorney doesn't like people to walk around with a gun and break into hotel rooms or any reason. Was his gun loaded and ready to shoot someone? Well, the items in question, that the news media didn't disclose must have been worth something to Mr. Simpson. Were they worth going to jail? God only knows, and so does Mr. Simpson. It's too bad that he isn't God.
