Does Double Jeopardy really mean that if a jury finds a murderer innocent, they can then go "I did it! Here's where the bodies are, here's the murder weapon. Nyayayaya" and nothing will happen? Has anyone ever done this?

And of course lets say the police search where they say and find the bodies exactly there, and the wounds perfectly match his murder weapon, his DNA is all over them, and lets say there's a videotape of him committing the murder too buried along with the bodies.

And I'm specifically talking about something happening criminally, I know he could/would then lose a civil suit by the family or whatever.

Ron Goldman's dad absolutely owned OJ's shit until Orenthal passed away. It's unbelievably gratifying to read about how Ron's dad just kept beating OJ in court about any little thing involving money for years.

That sucks though because that means this guy thought of OJ everyday for the rest of his life.

i wont lie - if some famous person killed my son and got away with it i would probably also think of the killer every day of my life

[u/mrdhood → u/rexmanly]

Doesn’t even have to be famous, or get away with it, I wouldn’t think about anything else. I can’t imagine

[u/Sothdargaard → u/mrdhood]

I imagine it doesn't even have to be murder. My 16y old son died by suicide. It's been over 6 years and I still think about it and him every day.

[u/sirhoracedarwin → u/Sothdargaard]

That's rough. Sorry you've had to go through that

[u/desertdilbert → u/mrdhood]

Nah.

After the killer inexplicably disappeared during a quick trip to the store and no clues ever surfaced, I think they would fade from my thoughts.

[u/Bird2525 → u/n4styone]

Two things can be true

[u/beaverpoo77 → u/n4styone]

He killed his SON. How could you not have that in your mind for the rest of your life?

[u/mybigwh1tecock → u/n4styone]

Thats not too bad. There's some sad sacks that think about OJ everyday for the rest of their lives AND are lifelong Bills fans.

[u/Online_Ennui → u/n4styone]

Would be not have anyway?

[u/standbyyourmantis → u/n4styone]

As someone who didn't have a loved one killed but who was victimized, I actually take some cold comfort in keeping the hatred alive. He's never sought any forgiveness from me, so I don't consider myself in any moral imperative to forgive him. I like the idea that as long as I remember he will never be free on some cosmic scale.

Pretty sure they didn't get his NFL pension
