OJ Simpson verdict: GUILTY! Was jusctice served at last? | read my mind http://www.monacome.com/2008/10/oj-simpson-verd... The timing was ominous. It was thirteen years to the day after OJ Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in one of the most celebrated cases of the last century. This time, however, he wasn't as lucky as the jury of nine men and three women reached its verdict after 13 hours of deliberations Friday. A verdict after 13 years and 13 hours? For the superstitious, that already spelled doom for OJ Simpson even before the decision was read.
