Why do you think that this OJ trial was not like the last trial?

I think this Judge, as opposed to Ito in the first trial, wasn't about to let the fiasco take place. She was there to get the job done and over with rather than basking in the glory of the media, and I admire her for that. I also think people are pretty sick of OJ's antics that have continued since the murder of Nicole and Ron Goldman. He has been his own worst enemy, but, has failed to recognize no one thinks he is as relevant as he thinks he is. He may have out-smarted himself with this one, though. It's too bad. He could have contributed a lot to society by helping others rather than being the narcissist he obviously is.
