O.J.'s Lucky 13.

O.J. Simpson's luck has finally ran out.

13 years to the day of his acquittal for the crimes the entire world knows he committed, Simpson was found guilty on all counts for kidnapping and assault during the attempted recovery of his memorabilia. Although clearly set up, Simpson was truly defeated by the one enemy destined to be responsible for his downfall: Himself.

O.J. Simpson is simply an example of a certain kind of individual that roams the planet, violent and unscrupulous, smiling while slaughtering all the things they classify as trivial, including human life. The only thing that makes him a special case is his high level of exposure, a level that was responsible for one of the greatest transgressions against justice this nation has ever collectively witnessed.

Some call it karma, an ethereal exacting of vindication by an unknown force that abhors injustice. Some say that this was all just a matter of time, considering the psychological make up Simpson and his unwavering confidence in his own capacity to escape what he rightfully deserves. Others feel that this entire situation was the result of a larger unsaid conspiracy against the man, an unspoken understanding between all the moral individuals with even the slightest opportunity to affect the course of events, a pre-determined indictment on someone that society just could simply not afford to allow to slip through the cracks of jurispudence.

Whatever it was, one fact remains: 13 years after he was admonished for committing the most heinous acts ever to be presented on the national stage in American criminal history, Orenthal James Simpson's luck has finally ran out, and at last, he is exactly where he should be.
