He had to know that, eventually, even if it took close to a decade, people would stop caring about OJ Simpson, as they have now. He's a punchline to everyone but Fred Goldman, whose visibility in Simpson's life is borderline obsessive.<BR/><BR/>At what point do you politely ask the man to move on? I think the vast majority of the American public believes Simpson killed Ron Goldman, and I can understand that the elder Goldman is insistent on not letting the world forget that. But what's getting accomplished here? Is he hoping to uncover new evidence or magically re-write the rules of double jeopardy, and finally get Simpson behind bars for good? It's not going to happen, and while I'm sure Fred prefers a more grisly fate for OJ, shouldn't he be satisfied that Simpson's life and career has turned into a public mockery?<BR/><BR/>Of course not, because his son is still gone, and that's horribly tragic. It's hard to say: "dude, get over it" when that's involved. But Fred Goldman's connection to the Simpson story has gone from being a byproduct (Lance Ito, Marcia Clark, Mark Fuhrman) of the story to a central figure, and I don't think he's going to be associated the way he'd like. Far be it from me to tell someone how to grieve, but I can't think this is healthy anymore. Just let Simpson be a loser and leave it at that.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483433387032295325noreply@blogger.com
