I’m not a very religious person, but when O.J. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, I remember thinking, “I sure hope there’s a God because that bastard needs to fry for what he did.” Well, maybe God doesn’t need to intercede after all. O.J. is charged with some pretty serious crimes — two counts of kidnapping at gunpoint among them — and even though the case looks a bit flimsy at first glance, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s convicted “of something” anyway and goes to jail.

Ever since that incredible injustice 12 years ago when O.J. was acquitted by a moronic jury, most of the rest of American society has ostracized him. No endorsements, no appearances on sports shows, not even a mention of him by TV football analysts when they discussed great running backs of the past. That’s because we all knew he did it, and as a society we purposefully ostracized him.

These current charges may very well stem from a setup, as defense attorneys say, or it may really be just about “payback” for what O.J. got away with in 1995, but I’m still hopeful. Maybe this IS Divine Retribution interceding. Maybe God is playing a little joke on O.J., and holding him to account after all — in this life.
