I'm wondering how O.J could be the epitome of evil, lose the civil suit against him yet get custody of his children? It just doesn't add up........................

Not a lawyer

I wasn't surprised that Ohhhjjj got custody of his kids. First of all, he's their only living parent.

Second of all, I do suspect that race, despite the fact that Ohhhhjjj's a soi-disant race-neutral guy, :rolleyes: played a factor in the decision. I live part-time in the same county of California that the Brown family's in, and it's not redolent with people of African descent.

Steeltrap could you put that in more laymen terms.....I don't even know what the word "Redolent" means my quess is that it means not many or not populated with :D.

Redolent actually means "strong distinctive fragrance," but I use it as a synonym for rich with or loaded with. :p
Translation: Black folks are a super-super-minority in OC. That's because the county, frankly, has a history of prejudice and was known as a white-flight area from L.A.

Yeah I had to check the dictionary on that one : strongly scented :) Okay now that the vocabulary lesson is over, back to O.J. The point that I was trying to make was that if O.J is such an evil being why did the court see fit to give him custody of his children instead of the Brown family. I realize what you are saying about the racial makeup of the county but I feel that the Simpson children would be recieved and could easily adjust to that county seeing how there are not many blacks in Brentwood. I feel that the children would have been use to that type of setting and seeing how 78% of white America believes that O.J was the killer they would have welcome the children into that county.
