Reactions to O.J. Simpson's call to Burden Of Proof...

I just want to say how much I admire Greta for allowing OJ to present his side in this case - and even for making an argument for it. I know that is not the popular thing to do, and it truly takes a lot of courage to buck the pressure. Greta is my hero (ine).

We were dismayed that Greta and Roger, in their pursuit of ratings, took it upon themselves to abet Mr. O.J. Simpson's public relations exercise.

I think the questions asked by Greta was rather soft. Where were all the hard questions?

I am in total shock CNN would give Simpson air time. You are undermining the entire Goldman case. Not only have you sickened me with Burden of Proof but also spilling into other CNN time. You have lost me as a viewer.

What a facinating peek into O.J.'s demeanor!And congratulations to Greta Van Susteren and Roger Cossack for getting O.J. to do a 1 hour phone call to the show! Way to go CNN!

I just turned off the TV and left to write this message. He wouldn't testify, I won't buy his tape and I won't listen to this lying wife beating killer.i think it is a poor business judgement and morally corrupt to give this killer a format to reach the country with only what he decides he wants to say totally ignoring facts and questions.

I appreciate CNN's continued coverage of the Simpson saga. While many people would like to put the story to rest, it would be yet another crime to do so. Mr. Simpson is as guilty as the day is long (to borrow from Casablanca), and anyone who watched the trial to any substantial extent knows that.

Too much time as been spent discussing the O.J.Simpson case as it is. The man was found innocent of killing two persons. I personally think he's guilty, but does that really matters?

Of course, O.J. Simpson will lose the civil suit, and why not, he did the crime and now he will do the time, whether it is in or out of jail.

To paraphrase a famous saying: It is better to be silent and thought a murderer, than to speak and remove all doubt.

It is apparent to me that O.J. Simpson is using the media to promote his video and CNN has been caught up in this, however unwillingly.

As a long time CNN viewer I was appalled to hear O. J. Simpson giving out his 1-800-OJSELLS sales pitch on the air...

Mr. Simpson claims his wife (Nicole) picked pimples and blackheads and caused some of her injuries. What did she use to do this with? A Hammer!

I believe that O.J. Simpson commited the murders of Nicole and Ron. However, let me make it clear that I accept the verdict of not guilty...

I wish that people would let the O.J. Simpson case rest. Twelve honest,and respected individuals felt that the evidence presented to them was not conclusive enough to send this man to jail for the rest of his life. We, as a society have to respect their decision...
