Robbery at the Beckhams'

Well, apparently Los Angeles Galaxy star player David Beckham and wife Victoria were robbed of valuable goods. According to reports two housekeepers took priceless pieces from the 'Beckingham Palace' as it is other called in Sawbridgeworth, about 30 miles to the northeast of London. Some personal items that were reportedly stolen included football boots, sportswear and designer clothes which were then put up for sale on Internet auction site eBay.

Police confirmed that they had arrested two people, a 56-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man from Essex, on suspicion of theft from a private address in Sawbridgeworth after officers were alerted last Friday. Though it is not explicitly stated that they are the crooks but by the looks of it and guessing ,my guess would be that they are the culprits.

The Beckhams' currently live in a $22 million Beverly Hills mansion but maintain the 'Beckingham Palace' as a base in London.

O.J's Guilty this Time

Well, the verdict is in and O.J. Simpson has found himself in another hot mess again. The former football star was found guilty of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges which now makes him liable to face the possibility of life imprisonment. Jurors found Simpson guilty late Friday evening after more than 13 hours of deliberating and he has since been taken into custody for sentencing slated for December 5. But how guilty is O.J. Simpson? According to his lawyer Yale Galanter one of the biggest concerns was to ensure that there were no prejudices towards Simpson after being freed of all charges more than a decade ago for the murder of his ex-wife and companion. Nevertheless humans are humans and it does not matter how severe screening for the jurors for this case was because there is always that person(s) who will have conviction for you and will not stop until there beliefs are immortalised. Hello, people tell lies o.k. and they will do that just to be one of the jurors. I am not saying he is guilty or innocent but a FAIR trial should be given and a juror should know how to separate their personal feelings from the facts to carry out justice effectively. Galanter has expressed that he and his team will file an appeal with the hopes of getting a new trial.
