At the time, I was working as a youth manager at the Marion County Juvenile Center and those that could break away for a moment, all rushed to the lunch room and gathered around the T.V. to hear the verdict:\u00a0<strong>NOT GUILTY!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That day O.J. Simpson probably had the biggest \u201cwin\u201d in his life but since then to some, he has gone on to become \u201cthe biggest loser.\u201d Including being found guilty of robbery exactly 13 years to the date of his acquittal for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. At the age of 61, he was sentenced to what could be a life sentence (9 to 33 years in prison).<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today (March 2016) and it has been reported that just prior to the start of the FX documentary \u201cThe People v. O.J. Simpson,\u201d a retired cop contacted a former colleague and told him that he had a bloody knife found buried in O.J.&#8217;s yard. As I write, the Los Angeles Police Department (\u201cLAPD\u201d) is reportedly testing the knife to see if there is any connection to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IF<\/strong>\u00a0O.J. committed the murders and\u00a0<strong>IF<\/strong>\u00a0this knife turns out to be the murder weapon, it doesn&#8217;t matter. Yes, you read that correctly, even\u00a0<strong>IF<\/strong>\u00a0it turns out that this is the murder weapon used to kill O.J.&#8217;s wife, at least as to O.J., \u201cthe Juice\u201d can&#8217;t be squeezed. Why? Glad you asked.\u00a0<strong><em>The 5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads, \u201cNor shall any person be subject for the same offense twice to be put in jeopardy of life or limb.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This is where we get the term \u201cDouble Jeopardy.\u201d Put simply, no one can be tried twice for the same crime once there is an acquittal or conviction. Or as my clients might say, once you \u201cbeat the case,\u201d it&#8217;s a wrap!<\/p>\n<p>The more things change, the more they stay the same, O.J. is once again untouchable, like Johnnie Cochran never left his side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corey L.
