O.J. Simpson's Lawyer Reveals That The Murderer's Body Was Creamated and the Ashes Used to Make "Jewelry"

Yeah this seems as good a way as any to dispose of this trash.

Now, Simpson's lawyer Malcolm LaVergne told TMZ that Simpson was cremated following his death and that his ashes were turned into pieces of jewelry. That jewelry was then divided up among his four children: Arnelle, Jason, Sydney and Justin.
TMZ reports Simpson's kids signed off on having their father's ashes turned into jewelry.
LaVergne revealed the entire process cost $4,243.06.
It's unclear if the initial idea to turn Simpson's ashes into jewelry was Simpson's or someone else's.
This update comes a month after Ron Goldman's father filed a creditor's claim against Simpson's estate seeking $117 million, NBC reported at the time.
...
"After July 25, 2024, the Claim Amount will accrue interest at the daily rate of $26,402.3630 until paid," the document stated, according to NBC. California courts renewed the 1997 judgment three times, and Simpson was ordered to pay the Goldman family $96.3 million in 2022, NBC reported. That amount has since accrued $20.6 million in interest.
NBC News reports that Fred Goldman and Sharon Rufo have only received "a little" of the money owned to them....
Following Simpson's death, Fred Goldman told NBC News that the only thing he has to say about it "is it's just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years. It's no great loss to the world. It's a further reminder of Ron's being gone."

Fred Goldman should sue to recover OJ Simspon's remains so that he can burn them in acid.

Years ago a pet sitter stuck an ornamental jar in one of the couch pillows. Looked like drugs so we called the police. They returned later with the jar and said it was human ashes and gave us the jar.

Pet sitter never returned calls so we buried the ashes near the river under a tree.

There was a wild theory floated, I think even at the time of the trial, that OJ was covering for his adult son Jason, who was 24 at the time. Jason murdered Nicole, so the theory went -- maybe because she threatened to expose him for something, or maybe *they* were having an affair -- and OJ allowed himself to be arrested and tried, to keep suspicion off his son.

It had the virtue of Ellery Queen-ish drama, at least. Though somehow I doubt OJ would have been as good a parent as that.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 27, 2024 04:30 PM (J2vNu)

46 ah so my parents had an acrimonious divorce, the very young new wife he left for was a bit out there

he died and she did in fact make jewelry for myself and her (and other family). which is weird

but the good side is, I have a nice roomy burial plot waiting for me that he didn't use!

as far as I know, everyone got the same thing, a pendant-type darkish "gem"

I don't hate the idea, but I myself want to be in a grave. got to be ready for the Night of the Living Dead!

There are only three kinds of jewelry that are acceptable for most men:
1. Wedding ring
2. Watch
3. Tie clip and/or cuff links

I am not entitled to the first and rarely need the third (and I hate cuff links, so have none), so I do tend to go for the second. A wristwatch is a nice ornament, and has a purpose. I have several of them.

Broadcast media are since Murrow died. Everybody trusted Uncle Walter in the 60s, but he lied his ass off about Vietnam, because MIC experts lied to him and it never occurred to him to ask a vet what was really going on.

it's not just about today's profits; it's about promoting an oligarchy and unregulated capitalism.

This is why so many "content creators" were invited to the DNC. People are starting to ignore the traditional media for podcasters and TikTok presenters. The Dems are smart enough to see this, and going over the MSM's heads to get their message out.

That ahole Kasich was on msnbc today citing an article in the New York Times saying 21 questions Harris needs to answer. f off V.P. Harris is in control of the narrative. The NYT is treating Harris as unqualified until proven otherwise.

actually yes those are also cool

I was sort of differentiating either gems from nature (but not dead people) or gems/crystals created synthetically from the "cook down the dead" kind which I sadly also have

I actually used to grow diamond thin films by chemical vapor deposition, a gas-phase process (as opposed to the high-T, high-P process by which industrial diamonds are traditionally grown). My then boss was a publicity hound, so he went next door to the sewage-treatment plant, and gathered some methane, which he then used to grow diamond. He got lots of publicity for growing diamond from "s***", but it was scientifically meaningless. Methane is methane, it doesn't matter where you got it.

I dig it, and did not understand. But since you actually like gems, I figured I'd ask.

I think synthetic gems are really cool and I would actually prefer them if I wanted a gem. The amount of chemistry and industry it takes to do it is more impressive - and, if it's important to you, more honorable (IMO, anyway) - than getting a third-world slave to rip one out of the earth and ship it around the globe.

I view it as, "I used my money to bring the industrial might of the developed world to bear for the purpose of creating a bauble for you." That's way cooler, I think, than "I used my money to employ an effective slave to dig a bauble up for you."

But I also know a lot of women think synthetic gems are "cheating" or a cheap gesture.

From Wiki:
Chrysopoeia, the artificial production of gold, is the traditional goal of alchemy. Such transmutation is possible in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors, although the production cost is estimated to be a trillion times the market price of gold.

166 I've told this story before: When I received my late wife's ashes, they completely filled the container to the very brim.

Was I to believe that her body composition produced just the exact amount of ashes to fill the container - no more, no less?

Or rather, a small bit was left over for use in the next container. Or, equally probable, someone else's small bit was added to her container to bring it to the very tip top.

Doesn't bug me but it did get me to wondering about such things.

Same here. Only one, the big red tabby Arizona, is not there. His ashes I sprinkled in the mountains near Winter Park, CO, as I always thought *he* believed he should have been a bobcat and should be among his people. But I have the little canister with his name on it.

242 On a long enough timeline, your tomb will be subducted beneath the Earth's crust and returned to Gaia. The same with everything else on the planet.
Posted by: fd at August 27, 2024 04:55 PM (vFG9F)

Not likely, continental crust is too thick to go in very far. The Northwest, (OR and WA) is made from other subcontental bits that were ran into and stuck on the "grille" of North America. The coast used to be in Idaho.

Later the crust there ripped open and buried a lot of that under miles of lava, but still not subducted. The most likely way to get your tomb ruined geologically is to have some uplift get your tomb up on a hill and let erosion feed you out into a lake or sea bottom in little bits.

Nope, DC trial judge has to make a finding over presidential immunity claims first and then it goes on appeal whatever she rules to the DC Circuit and probably to Scotus again.

The NY case is more of an immediate threat but Merchan now faces the same issue and his putting the immunity hearing over NY prosecutors using testimony by their witnesses that circumvented presidential immunity is a day or two before sentencing.

The opinion denying immunity or calling the testimony a harmless error is probably already written but Merchan's ruling will certainly be appealed immediately which creates a potential roadblock for him ordering Trump to jail a day or two later.

282 Werner is puzzled that no one in the media has yet to mention the contingent of Frau Harris's campaign staff from Miskatonic University. It is not as if they were not prominent during the DNC. One need only look at the campaign platform which, between a pledge to supply every woman with a cat and mandatory free piggy back rides for every undocumented alien a task which the US citizens must take, includes the telling phrase "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn." along with calls for a volume called the Necrinomicon in every grade school library. When Werner inquired about this, he was told to take it up with the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, but he was notably absent. My inquiries about the fleshy appendages eminating from the mouths of the 'Lovecraft Project" members led only to a lecture about respecting the dignity of tentacled-Americans.

Werner ks uncertain why someone named Dagon is slated to become Secretary of the Navy, or the meaning of someone dreaming in his house R'lyeh such that what is not dead can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die. Has this been focused-grouped, I inquired of the Harris minions? Ach.

It doesn't seem there's anyone doing a serious and rigorous approach to trying to estimate (best you can do) the impact, if any, of this component of election non-integrity in the US on election outcomes. In LA County, doubtful it would change any outcomes, though that would require looking at every race, over time.

Registry, voting process, tabulation (counting). The three pillars of election integrity. Any of them is flawed, the whole process warrants little respect or confidence. The logical common sense approach applied to evaluating foreign elections in former conflict states, and in providing technical assistance to those seeking to have real elections.

The majority of the American populace live in states whose elections, for the most part, fail to meet even the most basic integrity standards. Enjoy!

312 Good luck with getting my ashes for jewelry.There will be ashes but the longboat will be at the bottom of the sound along with the guns and bikes.
This will take place approximately in 2065.

313 RFK Jr. prevented from removing his name from the ballot in multiple battleground states, not just MI. Is this even legal?

I don't understand the question.

314 Wasn't the last case tossed because Smith had no authority to even prosecute? So... this case... Smith is... Prosecutor?

That was the Florida case stemming from the Mar a Lago raid which has been appealed to the 11th Circuit. That one followed Justice Thomas's dicta in the immunity case that baldly stated Smith's appointment was unlawful.

Think the DC Circuit has ruled Smith's appointment was legal though. An 11th Circuit decision upholding the trial judge in Florida's reasoning would cause a circuit conflict and thus likely to go to Scotus.

If Trump is elected, Smith is going to be fired and probably investigated which is why he is so desperate. Smith came from the ICC with a cloud over himself regarding his conduct for that international court.

"Witnesses who provided sworn affidavits say that Smith ran "an alleged extortion ring set up within the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, a European Union initiative ratified by Kosovo’s parliament in 2016 to prosecute war crimes."

Smith is named as "an active participant in a scheme that extorted millions of dollars from wealthy individuals targeted for investigation and/or prosecution. . ."

When you have Donald Trump joining with Robert Kennedy Jr in an effort to 'save the children' and the best the DNC can do is enlist RFK's family to blaspheme him...

It's a 'tell'. The groomers and child pornographers and sex slavers have taken over the DNC.

Rasmussen has Trump by +3. They were off by 1.5 last time. So it's probably Trump by 4.5%.

Good night Irene.

Kamala might even come in behind all the write-in votes for Jill Stein in Michigan.

317 Are we certain he is dead, and didn't instead create several horcruxes like Voldemort to hide parts of his soul and make himself more difficult to kill?

318 After every election every voter database should be deleted. And then next election you have to register again.

319 Has Kristi Noem invaded the comments here? As far as Werner was aware, she was a puppy killing hobbyist, but she may have branched out. Enthusiasm for the murder of Kitties is difficult to parse - surely it is not a strong contingent of the Conservative base? My knowledge of the American political system is limited, but Werner thinks it may not be an ideal position to bring individuals to the voting booths in November. Is this to be a slogan? "Vote for us and the feline population will be targeted with cruise missiles" does not have the same ineffable appeal as "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," or "I like Ike." Is polling coming in signaling that likely voters require a stronger stance on exterminating Kitty Kitties? Werner finds this somewhat suspect, but acknowledges he could be wrong.
