Unreal.The guy is a proven flight risk and gets a low bail amount.

How did OJ get bail? No seriously, there is tape of someone discussing an offshore account and he tried to skip bail before. It's 10 felonies he is being charged with.

Just wait until he is found innocent or at the most winds up with just probation.

Oh he's seeing jail time. I don't think there is a jury in the world that wouldn't want to get the chance to lock him up. They may not get him for murder, but they will try to make up for it any way they can here.

I'm already hearing he was just trying to get his own stuff back,he was set up,blah,blah,blah.The lawyers will figure some way to get him off.

I wouldn't lock him up yet, the LVPD hasn't solved a major crime in over 40 years.

He did have to surrender his passport...I think he'll see time...I think the jury will not care what the lawyers are saying of what this case is even about...no potential juror out there has not thought about locking his ass up for getting away with murder nor have they not heard the offshore account tape to this point.

My question for the ranters is...should HOFer's get dumped from the Hall if convicted of felonies later on in life?

BtownJay · September 20th, 2007, 08:52 AM

I don't think they should be removed from the Hall unless they did something wrong towards the sport.

I'm torn...I think partly whatever they do after the game shouldn't matter...but heard a scenario on the radio this morning when someone takes their kid to the hall and walk past the exhibits and there is a guy enshrined in the hall yet he is currently spending his life in jail for murder...just bad

Thats where you as a parent can explain to your child what the story was... he was great on the field but did this after he retired and now is paying the price of spending the rest of his life in prison. Heck, it may even be a good lesson for kids... no matter who you are, you can get ass raped in prison for the rest of your life if you break laws.

Still torn and will probably stay that way for a while, lol.

I can understnad that, and honestly, i could probably make a good arguement for why he should be removed as well. Why would a league want to be associated with anyone convicted of felonies?

He will stay in the Hall.For one,he's bullet proof. Another,you better kick a white guy out before you dare kick a black guy out.
