The O.J. Circus has finally arrived

Yes folks. Today is Day 1 of the O.J. trial part 2. (Review-Journal) At this point, the Juice has probably figured out that compared to strippers, prostitutes, a two ton judge in the hospital, corrupt Plaintiff's attorneys and all the other fun Vegas has to offer, the second trial of O.J. Simpson needs to work a little harder for attention.

So to generate some publicity, O.J. went and got himself stopped by the Nevada Highway Patrol on his way into town. (Review-Journal) Turns out someone called the state patrol and suggested O.J. was driving juiced up on something (alcohol, narcotics, etc). [see what I did there? "O.J." was "juiced". ahh . . . Monday morning puns].

Meanwhile, local attorney James "Bucky" Buchanan chimed in with his expert opinion on O.J.'s chances. He told Eyewitness News he thinks there are going to be problems seating an impartial jury because most people in the potential jury pool think he got away with his murdering ex-wife in L.A. (Las Vegas Now) [wow . . . he really worked overtime coming up with that opinion].

Finally, O.J.'s co-defendant [a.k.a. soon to be found guilty by association] lost another appeal to the NV Supreme Court to delay the trial. (Review-Journal)
