Why?
Are Jerks not allowed in Fla?, or does he lose the right to live where he chooses simply because he is a jerk? That would put a LOT of people in the homeless shelters.

Most of O.D. included…..

OJ is another JERK; but legally not guilty.

Actually that DOES matter in a SUBLIMINAL sense when guilt or innocence is being determined, when it's by a Judge or a Jury, though naturally it is NEVER admitted openly.

Having been behind the scenes in Courtroom admin for 20+ years gives me the right to say that with a degree of certainty.

In fact, on my very first day at work the Judge hearing a new murder case about to begin commented right before he went into court on the first day of the trial;

Actually he *scoffed*

"That guy would actually like to dig her up and kill her again!"

A bon mot like that, out of the mouth of a Judge, is pretty shocking.

Even if it was said quietly, 29 years ago, is something you'd probably remember even now if it was the first thing you heard on he beginning of your first day at work.

Kinda sets the tone for what you are going to be in for.

Nome sayin'?

I don't want to let all of the air out of your tires, but Mr. Simpson is currently a resident of Nevada.

(though fortunately for me, in a somewhat more downscale Nevada neighborhood than where I can be found)

Nothing to lose your head over.

Yes, I think I would be shocked to hear a Judge utter something like that before the trial began. That's not saying I doubt your story; I just find it shocking.

I wonder....do "jerks" get off simply by being jerks, or do they get harsher treatment? How did that play out in Zim's case?

No matter what anyone says, one's public image plays into EVERYTHING, even a court trial. The media machine began almost immediately following the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident. Think about it for a moment, EVERYTHING we heard about the story came to us via talking head radio and talking head television. The talking heads newscasters color every news story that crosses their desk. He**, there are documented cases where the media actually created such conflict WAR broke out between nations and countries. Reason #88 why I have NO use for the media. Besides, I worked for a major television station long enough to slowly learn how they really work.........and believe me, they are up to no good.

Judges are people wrapped with all the emotions, beliefs and convictions the rest of us come with. So, of course they have opinions about cases which may play into their decisions. They watch the news too......

All that may be true, but....
We were all taught that justice is blind. As we grew up, we realized it wasn't quite blind. Nevertheless, I am surprised when a Judge expresses an opinion before hearing the case. Now, it may be that this Judge had previous contact with the accused--in Jim's case. That would make his comment understandable. I would still hope he can suspend his personal judgments and hear the case impartially.

I prefer not to see sausage being made. I know what happens, but "ick".

Is that what your friend's nephew's third cousin, who lives in the trailer park, heard from the guy across the street who's buddy got sent to the hoosegow by that rotten prick of a judge?

Not buying the 'major television' station thingee....
