web page O.J. Simpson thrown out of Louisville steakhouse on eve of Kentucky Derby Tuesday, May 8, 2007 11:07 PM By BETH CAMPBELL Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts. "I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families … with his behavior, attitude and conduct." Simpson, an NFL Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner, was found innocent in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman but was found liable in a civil trial that followed. Ruby — who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. — said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said. "I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach." He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room. Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave. Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment. "It was the first time since 1994 he has ever shown any class," Ruby said. "He showed it that night in the restaurant" by leaving quietly. Ruby said after Simpson left, people in the restaurant started applauding him. He said he has received about 100 positive e-mails since the incident. The walls of Ruby's restaurants are decorated with celebrity photos. A photo of Simpson and Ruby used to be on display, but Ruby said he took it down after the killings.

No need, that's already what O.J.'s lawyer is saying.
This has been a big story around here the last couple of days from the Cincy stations.

I saw that, the lawyer pulled the race card immediately. "This has nothing to do with my client destroying two families by murdering two people. It has nothing to do with him trying to profit by selling a book in which he 'hypothetically murdered' the two in a 'hypothetical situation' after he 'literally' did it. No sir, after serving my client multiple times over the years, he stopped now because.... well... because he realized my client was a black man."

Now, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.. but he was never found "innocent", he was found "not guilty".. which means they hadn't reached the "Beyond a shadow of a doubt" threshold, right?

The best part is how Simpson understood the situation and left without incident.......but now Simpson and his lawyer have the problem after the fact. What changed after he walked through the door? And someone said Michael Jordan ate at the restaurant 15-20 mins after OJ left.....so I guess you can throw the race card out the window.

Now explain away the term "liable."
Here's a definition:
Liable: To be legally responsible for causing an injury.

Sure, right after you explain the difference between a criminal trial and a civil trial.

Don't have to.
Responsible is responsible regardless if it's civil or criminal. Playing the "beyond a shadow of a doubt" card doesn't wash when a jury finds that Simpson was responsible for the deaths of two people.
He got off on that technicality on the criminal side but this isn't a trial. Like everything in life, using a little common sense doesn't hurt.
Defending OJ Simpson...............wow.

I'm not defending OJ; I am defending the system - imperfect as it may be. One jury said not guilty, another said guilty. Because we all want to believe he is guilty we take the second decision and ignore the first. What if we tried OJ 100 times finding him not guilty but on the 101 he was guilty? Which would you accept?

Yeah. And the hot coffee the lady spilled on herself at McD's was their fault too. Remember? McD's was found "liable" too. It kind of cracks me up really. Everybody talks about how "crazy and stupid" civil cases have become and the money awarded on very poor evidence and often baseless for the most part. Unless of course? It suits what they want. Then? SHAZAM! Suddenly they have "instant credability". 
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Criminal trial - must be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Civil trial - you just need to be guilty if the jury thinks you should be. Facts aren't really important.

As Arch noted, the two systems aren't equal, therefore one decision doesn't balance out the other.
One has to be 100% certain. Not 99.9%. The other only has to be a substantial amount of evidence, thus the civil trial in many ways is more credible than the criminal one.
The difference is punishment.

I remember.
The problem is you don't.
The fact was that the hot-hold of the coffee exceeded the correct temperature of the coffee as laid out in the guidelines and standards. Sure, they did it because they wanted to guarantee hot coffee, but they still exceeded the limitations laid out. As a result, the coffee was too damned hot and the lady burned the Hell out of herself.
Now was it a frivelous suit? For the most part, yes, but there was some foundation of truth to it.
Just like OJ Simpson.

Overtoad...coffee is hot. If you spill it on yourself, it's gonna hurt. Whether it's over the guidelines or not it's still gonna hurt. That was one retarded case. Mantis...C'mon man. Seriously... 
How in the world can you fix something...
If you don't know how it's supposed to work?

Is his lawyer admitting that his client murdered two people now?

And OJ was not a black man prior to this recent night??? Maybe OJ was really white but is pulling a reverse Michael Jackson and turning black?
OJ's lawyer definately has tons of logic behind him......It's just that he possesses none of it.

JC....Regardless of whether OJ is innocent or guilty...the owner has the right to refuse service. So honestly.... what is the big deal????
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken...
What's the use of wearing your lucky rocketship underpants if nobody wants to see them????

That was just something Heat made up. Not Simpson's lawyer.

Because if OJ isn't guilty, the NAACP would have a hayday.
But because of what happened, this will blow over in no time. All it really does is make whichever organization that champions OJ's cause look stOOpid.

I hope Heat was making that up... :} otherwise I think OJ may have a schoolteacher for a lawyer.

Star Jones was there at the time also. Maybe she can represent poor O.J.
