The White Bronco rolls again

O J Simpson has never met a camera he didn't like, and once again the world's most famously acquitted murder suspect has put himself into the glare of the spotlight and come out rather churlish for it all.

Simpson has just finished filming a Pay Per view television special and DVD in which he plays pranks on unsuspecting people and engages in general silliness. The program called "Juiced", is a candid camera kind of affair in which the ex football, television and CNN headline news star dons disguises and pulls a number of practical jokes.

One segment has him rolling out his infamous White Bronco and has him trying to sell it, one of his selling points is that the broncos was "good for me, it helped me to escape."

Needless to say, the image of a chuckling OJ making light of his days of infamy has not settled very well with the Goldman and the Brown families, who watched as the judicial and media circus exploded around OJ's acquittal of the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

Ever since those wild days of the freeway chase and the subsequent "trial of the century", Simpson seems to have gone out of his way to stay in the media spotlight, long after his fifteen minutes of fame have gone.

His latest project only goes on to add further fuel to the debate about whether justice got hoodwinked in the past. The more he talks and the more he appears in public, the numbers grow of those that think that there was one jury that let justice slip through their fingers.
