    And the fact remains he WAS found guilty in a COURT, the verdict in the criminal case notwithstanding. I'm actually trying to buoy your argument about him having committed the crimes so you can call him a criminal. The civil case didn't get him arrested, he just lost everything he had because he killed them as found in court. He went to jail for an armed robbery.
    The bottom line is the Simpson case was so convoluted and presented as entertainment and the criminal trial so badly run and the prosecution being so totally unprepared to face a dream team defense it shouldn't be used in ANY discussion of crimes and their prosecution and the legal system and precedents and end results. It should be filed away and never brought to light again except to discuss how the legal system and the adjudication of such crimes can go so badly when the judge loses control of the trial as Ito did.

    He stole from the Trump Foundation. The Foundation admitted to self-dealing with him. They avoided criminal charges by agreeing to civil pleas, just like they did for Trump University. They had to pay back the money they stole, liquidate all other Foundation property and give that money to charity as well, and the board is forbidden from chairing any other charity in NY.
