I guess the Goldman family will never get paid.

O.J. and Nicole, reunited again

[nebugeater]

I saw a short video clip last night that started by saying in a very positive way, as a memorial message might that OJ was now at a point where he could finally rest, then it cut to a video clip of OJ after he was found not guilting saying in an interview that he would not rest until Nicole Brown Simpson's Killer was dead. I should have saved a link, but it was priceless.
