Outside Reading #5

Today I read an article in the Star Tribune titled "OJ Simpson jurors say hours of secret recordings played a key role in armed robbery conviction" this article was written by Linda Deutsch. This article illustrates the lessons of Karma, and the importance of telling the truth. Karma is the idea that whatever you do, will come back to haunt you. In this article it is made apparent that the Jury believes OJ killed his wife in 1995, and now that is the reason he was guilty and is going to jail for armed robbery. This article illustrates that you cannot run from the past and if you do something wrong you should admit to it and fix it. If OJ would have come clean about really happened in 1995 and was not so shady he would not be dealing with going to court again, and going to jail. Karma will always follow OJ and he will never have an easy life because of all the lies he told and for allegedly killing his wife. He also would have never had to steal money if he had never been guilty of murder in small claims court, again illustrating the ideas of Karma. This article has taught me to always ask responsibly and think about the future before i act, karma is ruthless.
