Junior high football
THIS IS regarding the Cape Central Junior High eighth grade football Cubs. To the coaches, you have a lot of talent out there. Maybe you need to re-evaluate. Some of those kids have four years' experience in Cape's youth league football and know what they can do and are not being given the chance. Encourage those kids and show them how. Don't punish them. To the parents, we need to get these kids spirits up. A lot of them have negative attitudes. Let's do something about it. To the team, whether you're on the field or on the sideline, you are a team. All of you must keep the spirit up. If the play doesn't go as planned, think about it, shake it off and go for the next one. Most important, don't get discouraged and don't give up. You can do it.
Wife beater
O.J. MAY have gotten off on doubt. He may just be innocent. One thing came out beyond reasonable doubt. The dirty secret is out. O.J. is a cowardly wife beater. Race has nothing to do with that.
No appeal
IF O.J. Simpson would have been found guilty, he could have appealed. But the prosecution has no choice for an appeal. What does this tell people about the judicial system in this country? Something is terribly wrong when a man can murder two people and walk scot-free.
Getting away
I'M CALLING to agree that O.J. is getting away with murder. You get what you pay for.
Coming around
BECAUSE THE jury found O.J. innocent does not mean he did not murder his wife and Mr. Goldman. What goes around comes around, and I'll be watching.

Power of money
I JUST wanted to say that money can buy everything like it bought O.J.'s freedom. And it's terrible to say it, but crime does pay.
Who did it?
WHAT HAS this country turned to? If O.J. Simpson is not guilty of these murders, then who is? Why were there no other fingers pointed at any other people? Why were there no other suspects? Why was nobody else's blood involved in any of these murders, nobody else's clothes, nobody else's fingerprint, nobody else's anything? Who did it then? And why is not being talked about? Who was the real suspect if it wasn't O.J.? It's O.J.
Sage comment
IT'S LIKE the young lady said at the desk of the Cape Public Library, and she put it best: "We have to believe in our judicial system and not pout or be sour grapes over the defense and the jury verdict."
Choosing liars
HOW NAIVE can we get? I learned as a juror 30 years ago, courtrooms are not about justice. You try to determine who the liars are on one side or the other. Lawyers are for money first, winning second. Not justice. We want laws enforced on the people but not ourselves. We have lawyers who know their client was drunk, but for a few thousand dollars they'll get them off.
Safe money
I HEAR O.J.'s going to offer a reward to anybody who can find the real killers of Nicole and Goldman. His money will be safe. Justice is blind, but it's not that blind.
