“A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial, sometimes likened to a drumhead court-martial or Drumhead trial, is a sham legal proceeding or court. Kangaroo courts are judicial proceedings that deny due process in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially made in advance, usually for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all.”
Now apply that to the current OJ Simpson proceedings. There seems to be a remarkable applicability of Kangaroo trial to what is going on. And none of the major news media is picking up on this. Rather they are feeding into it.
Were it possible for OJ Simpson to be killed for these charges, that are rumored to be increased, I have no doubt he would be, and I’d be referring to this as a lynching. It’s that obvious to me.
This is the 5th day of news about the OJ Simpson case leading the news, though finally it is not the sole item news media is speaking about. Mind you that this is the predominant story, receiving almost 10 – 15 minutes of coverage per hour. That kind of coverage is ridiculous, but not uncommon for the nature of the sensationalized reporting that is common today, in my opinion.
Rumors are now appearing that 2 more federal charges may be handed down against OJ. Kidnapping is one of them, coersion is the other. That would make 10 charges. It seems that the prosecution is just dumping every charge possible on this man. I would say that they are trying to ensure that with so much being thrown against the wall, something sticks and he is in jail for the rest of his life. And the injustice of this mounts.
News has also been reported that Thomas Riccio is going to be the prime witness in the prosecutions case. This is the man responsible for the audio tape that has reached the news media and internet. Yet I have not heard certain questions that should be asked and noted.
First, it’s known that OJ knew Riccio for some time. Riccio sells memorabilia. He was the one that told OJ of the items in question. He did not notify the police about the potentially stolen goods. He did suggest and set up, it’s alleged, the ‘sting’ that OJ enacted. He was the only one that’happened’ to have an audio device and taping the situation without notifying anyone about this. Does that sound like a trap, otherwise known as entrapment, to anyone?
Riccio is not being charged with any crimes. He is getting a pass and will be the prime witness for the presecution. Odd since he factually aided and abeited a crime that involved an alleged gun. And Riccio is not getting a single charge, though the other men involved are. While Riccio planned and performed the whole incident.
I would like to know why Riccio did not involve the police? Why did he involve OJ, and organize this incident? Why did he bring a recording device? Why has the audio been allowed to be released to the public, where it is contaminating the jury pool, even though according to Nevada law it’s not admissible in court? Why is he not being charged with a single crime that he committed and organized?
