One juror claimed after hearing Simpson 's testimony that “he was not credible,” and another said that “ finding OJ Simpson liable of the murders and acting with oppression and malice was one of the easiest decisions I have ever had to make.”  When The Juice made headlines recently with the news that he would be released from prison after serving nine years for armed robbery, I pulled up this old photo of him with the man who currently lives in the White House and immediately thought of this song.
