eboni: time for celebrity justice. next thursday, o.j. simpson is set to appear before a nevada parole board. currently serving time behind bars for robbery and kidnapping charges. he was found guilty in 2008. at least 4 out of 7 parole board members believe simpson is fit for release. he could walk free as early as october 1st. many people feel o.j. simpson was ultimately convicted of this and given a pretty severe sentence. 30-some years. the fox news specialists eo nightclubs and hotel rooms in vegas. eboni: ruben, certainly people feel the justice of him going to jail in 2008 was due
our other case of celebrity justice is the saga of o.j. simpson. parole hearing conducted with the nevada border of parole commissioners on july 20. oj is serving a nine to 30-year sentence. he was found not guilty of the tragic killings of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman but many people felt he was thrown the book on this case where he is trying to steal back his assets or whatever because many people thought he got away with murder. eric: kind of like legal karma. over that. i remember the bronco chase, the trial, it was amazing. what came down to, who didn t know when a bloodied glove drives it s going to dry tighter and smaller and you will never be able to get it over a rubber glove. eboni: chris darden, god blessed them, he did the best he could. he has still not really recovered. tragic misstep by the
court judge these would be problematic in terms of judicial ethics. i think it s wrong and have denounced in writing saying this is not what a jurist should do. the rise of the celebrity justice. there are justices that maintain their base. scalia was like that. he loved and audience and he also loved throwing grenades into rooms. he would go to a law school to tick people off. he loved that. it s not a good thing to have a base as a justice. not a good thing to talk about politics or people like the president. and i think that ginsburg has long crossed that line. but the fact is i don t think her colleagues would pressure her to recuse herself and i don t think she will. bill: thank you for your time. great to see you in person again. hope to see you soon. shannon, what s next. shannon: when the high court takes up the travel ban one congressman thinks ginsburg should recuse herself.
a criminal defendant and others where celebrities were punished i think more harshly because of their status as a celebrity. what s especially tricky for cosby in this case, though, is that at its very core, this case is about the misuse of his celebrity status and so that gives the prosecutor a very powerful argument. essentially to be arguing, hey, ladies and gentlemen, don t let him get away with this again. send this celebrity a message or don t allow celebrity justice to happen. that means, impliedly that you better return a conviction. the other thing, i think, that s very interesting about all of this is that because of bill s celebrity status, there s a 24-hour global news cycle that s very interested in him and that means that we re going to hear everything there is to know about bill. this tends to make it very, very cloudy when for the defense, they want to keep things very, very siloed. can the prosecution prove beyond
his superstar dom on this trial. host of seven deadly sins and did he do it on investigation tv. great to have you answer questions about whatever legal case we have at hand. tell us how much more difficult to make this case. we have seen examples where being a celebrity has been helpful to a criminal defendant and others where celebrities were punished more harshly because of their status as a celebrity. what is especially tricky for cosby in this case, though, is that at its very core, this case is about the misuse of his celebrity status. they could argue, hey, ladies and gentlemen, don t let him get away with this again. don t allow celebrity justice
