You especially don't go home with him.

Anyway, I have to believe that he knew this was coming and is resigned. You could see it in his face all along, just like OJ. PS has a lot of money, more than OJ ever did. No buying your way out these days. I think we got tired of Robert Blake and OJ's walking. And then there are the ones that were never charged like Robert Wagner and William Shatner. Maybe that's not fair to bring them up.

This guy has been a complete arsehole all of his life.

Completely beyond redemption.

It's fair and right. I just wish they'd apply all the current laws to everyone, regardless of $, race, sex, or possible political consequences.

But, I rarely get my wishes. Maybe a good thing.

If Milt is talking about the death of Shatner's wife Nerine in the swimming pool, you may want to read Shatner's recent autobiography "Up To Now". He tells how he found her and events leading up to it.

I can't delete what I said now, but I should have not implicated Shatner. The police were quite interested in that death, IIRC. I don't know what's in the autobiography, but methinks they weren't on the best of terms. Still, that doesn't make him a murderer.

Wagner, OTOH, was really suspected but the evidence just wasn't there. Then Blake and OJ's deal just made people start to think that we need to do a better job investigating a prosecuting these crimes, if there was a crime. It's hard to believe Blake got off and Spector even got as far as he did with a mistrial.

He ought to have to pay for his own incarceration and court costs. I mean this big money drags these things out and costs us a ton. I want my tax dollars back.

I guess he thought he had all of his bases covered....American flag pin on one lapel, and a "barack obama rocks" pin on the other.

He's produced some fine music.

But on a human level he has always been an arsehole. The stories of the people he's ripped off and pissed off over the years are legion.

Karma.

Yes. Tried and convicted. Sentenced to a a fate worse than death: an eternity of doing PriceLine commercials.

Shatner was initially paid in Priceline stock when he first became spokesman and the stock went thru the roof, fueling the rumors he offed his wife during marriage difficulties to avoid losing all that new found wealth in divorce court.
