Flying with O.J.
September 20, 2007 2:01 AM
ABC’s Tarana Harris blogs about being on the flight to Florida:
O.J. Simpson sat in the bulkhead seat directly behind first class. He greeted passengers from his seat as he boarded with a smile or a few words for the ones who stopped to shake his hand or chat. One passenger even congratulated him. Another passenger brought him two USC baseball caps, one for his autograph and one for him to keep. Simpson’s girlfriend wore it during the flight.
Simpson’s mood was light. He laughed often during the flight, napped, talked with his girlfriend seated next to his aisle seat, and watched Oceans 13. His conversation with attorney Yale Galanter, seated across the aisle, was minimal. One or two reporters approached Simpson during the flight and Galanter instructed his client not to speak with them. The two also discussed golf at one point.
They whispered a few times.
A small black puppy emerged from a carrier at one point and Simpson held him on his lap for a while.
Aside from taking a few naps, Simpson showed no visible signs of strain from spending three nights in jail.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Flying with O.J.:
The report I read said that O.J. Simpson was led to the hotel room where his personal momorabilia were by an ex-convict (I do not know if Simpson knew this), and that the man videotaped the encounter in the room, which he then sold to a web-site (for all the world to see). The man in question showed the kind of entrepreneurship and profit-seeking which seems commoner than it should be.

I wish the media would stop giving this rat attention! He is tabloid fodder, nothing else. I'm saddened that imbeciles are given place over decidedly more important news.
