OJ Simpson Trial, Jury Selection Begins

OJ Simpson Trial, Jury Selection Begins: OJ Simpson is back in a place where he seems to feel way too comfortable in… criminal court. This time, the former NFL tailback begins a brand new criminal proceeding for charges of kidnapping and robbery. Jury Selection got under way on Monday September 8th 2008, as a Las Vegas, Nevada judge is trying to “head off” any influence from Simpson’s double-homicide acquittal from over ten years ago.

Jackie Glass , the judge overlooking Simpson’s criminal trial, is making sure that OJ receives a fair, unbiased trial, independent from his 1995 case where his ex-wife and lover were murdered in cold blood.

“If you are here thinking that you are going to punish Mr. Simpson for what happened in Los Angeles in 1995, this is not the case for you… if you’re looking to become famous because of your services in this case, write a book, then this is not the case for you,” clarified judge Glass.

In the infamous Los Angeles (criminal) case, Simpson was found “not guilty” for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

However, Simpson was found liable in a civil proceeding, based on “preponderance of the evidence”. This is a much easier standard to be proven (in civil court), than in criminal cases where the burden of proof is by “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

OJ Simpson and Clarence “CJ” Stewart are being accused of robbing two Las Vegas Sports Memorabilia dealers, which in-turn were forced (allegedly with guns) by OJ and accomplices against their will. Simpson claims that there were no guns involved, he didn't ask anyone to bring guns, and he wasn't aware anyone was armed.

If OJ and CJ were to be found guilty, they could face (up to) life in prison, with the possibility of parole. Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of: felony kidnapping, armed robbery, conspiracy, burglary, coercion, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Internet Poker Software For Betting ImprovementJust because it is free doesn't necessarily mean it is the right Internet poker software for you and the opposite is true also.  You could spend hundreds of dollars for this type of software and still not be getting the greatest benefit from it.  Therefore, it is imperative that you do your research and check out a wide variety of Internet poker software before you select the application that best fits your needs.  If you do choose software that comes with a price tag, check to see if there is a free trial period first so you can decide if it is the right software for you before you lay out big bucks for it.

Internet poker software can be a very valuable tool for you to use to track your poker betting financials, your playing history, and it can even help you to improve your game.  You can discover when and under what circumstances you are playing aggressively and you can analyze virtually every hand you have been dealt.  You can also use the software to calculate the odds based on any hand as well as the particular odds at each stage of the hand.  Take your time when evaluating this type of software; look closely at what is out there and decide which features are most important to you before you spend a lot of money.  You may have to try out a few applications until you find the perfect fit so be patient; in the end, however, you will most likely wonder how you ever got along without poker software to help you in your game.
