The husband of a murder victim looks at O.J.

Andy Ostroy, whose own wife, actor/writer/director Adrienne Shelly, "the love of my life," was murdered writes eloquently on his feelings about O.J. Simpson, his murder trial, that trial's verdict, the emotional aftermath of that verdict and the subsequent events that have led to Simpson's incarceration. Here is the wonderful last paragraph:

"Sadly, I know the heartache of losing a loved one at the brutal hands of a violent animal. I get to live each day with a young child who was tragically robbed of her loving mother. And I know what it's like to witness the inequitable trade of a beautiful soul's precious life for a relatively small prison sentence. But though it's certainly no consolation, as it will never bring back Nicole and Ron, the Goldmans and the Browns can at least breathe and sleep a little easier now that justice has finally, on some level, been served for them as well. The Butcher of Bundy will likely and hopefully die in jail a broken man. Payback for 1995, some say? Who cares. A cold-blooded murderer is off the streets and behind bars, where he belongs, and that's all that matters."

It's worth reading the entire article.
