O.J. Simpson Dead at 76: Justice Is Finally Served
Good riddance to O.J. Simpson (“Verdict a race disgrace,” April 12).
Simpson’s trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman was the genesis for what has since become a constant trend of racebaiting and division. Simpson and his defense team shamelessly exploited America’s racial wounds, turning what should have been a trial about the loss of innocent lives into a spectacle that pitted white against black.
This ignited a flame of racial discord that still smolders today. We see it in the disaster that has been DEI, which has shamelessly and blindly put minorities ahead of whites in various fields and occupations with disastrous consequences (ahem, Boeing).
No one is above accountability regardless of race. Simpson’s exploitation of race for personal gain, however, proves that the faulty system in our country of liberal judges, politicians, media acolytes and their progressive enablers will continue to push antiwhite politics — to the detriment of society.

Eight pages of Friday’s paper were dedicated to Simpson — a murderer — and it was done well.
I lived through that time, and I was glued to the white Ford Bronco fiasco. If anything, that miserable human being did not deserve anything more than one long paragraph dedicated to him.

Simpson’s criminal trial was a media event beautifully played by Simpson’s lawyers.
“If the glove doesn’t fit” was repeated ad nauseam
and gave Simpson a get-out-of-jail-free card alongside unnecessary media coverage. In my years of practice, police fumbles are frequent and the accused walk.
It is a shame that the Scottish verdict of “not proven” was never adopted in the United States. This verdict means that the prosecutor would have been able to recharge Simpson.

I have always been a fan and subscriber of The Post, but the front page of Simpson with the caption “Real Killer is Dead” is deplorable.
Simpson was found not guilty, so why hurt a dead man’s family even further to make a point while they are grieving the loss of their father?
How do you think his children feel? They likely feel gutted after Friday’s cover. Again, remember he was found not guilty.

I thought The Post came down too hard on Simpson. The editors seemed to forget that Simpson was found innocent by a jury of his peers.
He was the embodiment
of the American dream: going from rags to riches as a football star and then a Hollywood stalwart.
But somewhere in all that odyssey the American public swallowed up Simpson’s celebrity and then unceremoniously spit it out.
He was left for dead by a fickle American public, and he descended into a frenzy of self-loathing and despair, which likely hastened the spread of his cancer.
I wish Simpson a safe journey across the River Styx.

All I can say now is that justice has finally been served with Simpson’s death.
The whole trial was a complete disaster from when it started. There was overwhelming evidence that Simpson was guilty — and yet he walked away a free man.
The families of his exwife and Ron Goldman can now be at ease knowing that Simpson is finally paying for his crime after all these years.

Karma finally caught up to O.J. Simpson.
He was the ultimate narcissist, who searched golf courses and the desert idyll of Las Vegas in pursuit of the “real killer.” He just needed to look no further than his own mirror to find the savage who murdered his ex-wife and Goldman.
The fact he was acquitted was a travesty. There is no room in hell for his Heisman trophy, but I’m sure he will have lots of company with the devil’s subjects.
