O.J. Simpson A Flight Risk?



His face is still recognized around the world, yet criminal justice officials in Las Vegas won't release O.J. Simpson on bail out of fear that he's a flight risk.

Well, where could/would he go? Where on planet Earth could O.J. Simpson hide?

He's a man who soared to stratospheric levels with his gridiron skills, sexy looks as a legendary NFL running back with the Buffalo Bills and later as a performer on the big screen. Of course, all that ended 13 years ago when he was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend, Ron Goldman.

He still gets jeered along with a few cheers here and there. And he's all over the news now that the book he wrote, 'If I Did It,' has hit bookstores. And it's the top-seller at Amazon.com.

He was arrested in Las Vegas after he and several accomplices allegedly burst into a hotel room and threatened men who he claimed illegally held his memorabilia. Reportedly, guns were wielded by Simpson's accomplices.

Is the denial of bail some bizarre way of getting back at Simpson for upsetting so many people 13 years ago?
