OJ Simpson’s Number is Up

I think many people will be happy to hear that O.J. Simpson will finally be getting what he deserves.

The 61-year-old Hall of Fame football star was convicted [Friday] of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino…

But in a strange twist the AP is reporting that the number 13 seemed to pop-up repeatedly:

In a city where luck means everything, O.J. Simpson came out the big loser — and his unlucky number in a case full of bizarre twists was 13.

He was convicted of an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13 and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary of his Los Angeles murder acquittal. The Las Vegas jury deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial.

Isn’t that weird?

It’s about time O.J. faces that he is not above the law! News reports are saying he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. I don’t think anyone other than O.J.’s sister and wife will cry about that!

Why Don’t You Write About Casey Anthony?

Several readers have been asking me to review Casey Anthony. They say there is ample audio of Casey out there, so why don’t you review her?

The reason I haven’t reviewed Casey Anthony is multi-fold. First, I don’t think you need “Eyes for Lies” to see that Casey Anthony is lying. I am nearly certain that 99% people out there do not believe Casey Anthony.

Her biggest give away that she is lying? The facts that she supplies simply do not add up. It doesn’t take any special talent to see that because if she was honest, people would be standing up to vouch for her, but no one with any credible evidence has done that once.

Second, I typically choose to write about cases where public opinion is truly at odds, and where people aren’t sure of the truth. At that point, I think my opinion becomes more interesting and valuable.

For me to just restate that Casey Anthony is lying because the facts don’t add up, and to provide a handful of other clues doesn’t provide much of anything for anyone. I precisely reviewed Cindy Anthony early on because I saw people attacking her, and I felt my opinion and insight might open people to a different consideration.

Do I hear clues to Casey Anthony’s deception in the audio tapes? I do. Is it anything earth shattering? No. What I hear are tone-of-voice and inflection clues that stand out in the few samples I have listened to. When Casey Anthony, for example, was asked the last time she talked to Caylee, she answers with the word “noon”. If you listen to that word, you will her Casey Anthony say the word inflecting her voice more as a question instead of a statement. It’s little things like this that I don’t think are valuable to anyone for me to commit an hour or two of my time to write about.

So there you have why I haven’t written about Casey Anthony. If I believed it would be valuable and helpful for people, I absolutely would do so. But right now, I don’t think I would do anything for anyone by me simply restating the obvious.

I got notice this weekend that a woman from the U.K. decided to use my name on the Websleuth forums.

I thought I had an account on websleuth but it would not let me sign in, so I created a new one called “eyesforlies”, but websleuths has rejected me.

I kindly ask websleuths to talk to this woman to tell her that many people discuss my blog on their forums, and to please ask her to consider another name as it will only cause her, me, and you my readers headaches. Websleuths has ignored my request and at this time, I am unable to reach this woman because I can’t get her e-mail as I do not have a websleuth account.

I know many of my readers have a websleuth account. I was wondering if you guys would ask her kindly to reconsider, or ask her to contact me so we can work this out. You can find her here.

She is the first person in four years to use my name and I think it will cause everyone confusion. People will likely think it is me posting when it is not. Ironically she is posting in the same forum where people have been discussing my blog.

Just so you guys know in the future if I post anywhere I will use my eye logo as my avatar.

Hopefully this woman will reconsider the name and see the confusion it will cause. That is all I am asking for!

Many thanks for your help in advance! ~Eyes
