4. Yes, since it's on Outside the Lines which I watch every day

I watched the original trial when I lived in Las Vegas. It was severely slanted given what occurred at Palace Station but I was thrilled it played out that way, considering June 12th, 1994.

If O.J. is paroled I hope he doesn't return to South Florida, where I live. I used to see him all the time circa early to mid 2000s at Calusa Country Club, where both of us played golf. It was awkward beyond description to cross paths with him but it was unavoidable.

O.J. was also a royal pain in the ass in the golf course coffee shop because his voice carried everywhere and he wouldn't shut up. You couldn't eat there without being subject to every word he said. People who used to eat lunch there regularly for years would pick up their food and carry it outside when O.J. was present.

I don't have to worry about O.J. playing Calusa anymore. That course closed in 2011. That is a crooked story in itself and really should have drawn national attention. Bacardi Corporation purchased the property with sole intention of running it into the ground as a golf course so they could claim it was no longer viable as a golf course and therefore have it rezoned and break the 99 year covenant. It was disgraceful. The estimated value was $3 million as a golf course and upwards of $10 million if rezoned to Bacardi's wanting. Prime example of corporate greed. The greens previously were fantastic for a public course but shortly after Bacardi took over suddenly there were ridges and bare spots and basically unplayable conditions. No greenskeeper could be that inept.

Sure enough, the golfers departed. Bacardi closed the course and started strong arming the homeowners to sign away the covenant. When they refused, Bacardi sued those homeowners.

Eventually it went to court and somehow a local judge ruled in favor of Bacardi, despite every local legal analyst saying Bacardi had no leg to stand on. Many locals concluded that Bacardi paid off that judge. I don't doubt it. Eventually an appeals court reversed the decision and more or less scolded the local judge for applying so many poor principals and totally ignoring their previous ruling on the matter, decades earlier.

I despise Bacardi.

5. I said "yes", but I really won't

Heck, I didn't even know he was having a parole hearing. Had no idea it was going to be televised.

But I will be sure to let all my family and friends know about it
