I wonder if he did admit it if anything would even be done. All we would need is another racially charged, nationally televised OJ trial. Riots anyone?

I don't know enough about the US system. I know that when he was acquitted on the criminal charges, the families of the victims sued him for civil damages and won $20mil (?) which kinda implied his guilt in the eyes of the civil court but according to previous posts he's never paid them a penny. That's the problem with civil judgments, they are buggers to enforce. His defence lawyer Johnny Cochrane died a while back though so maybe HIS karma came to bite him on the ass.
