I find it odd he was supposedly caught re-handed but it still took 4 years to get a case together.

DirecTV: O.J. Ordered to Pay in Signal Theft Case
A U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida ordered O.J. Simpson to pay DirecTV $25,000 in damages, plus attorneys' fees and costs, for allegedly stealing the satellite TV service's programming, the company said in a statement.

DirecTV said Judge Joan A. Lenard awarded damages in the signal theft case after granting the company's motion for summary judgment in a civil lawsuit filed by DirecTV against Simpson. The suit followed a raid on Simpson's Miami home and the seizure of two illegal devices, known as bootloaders, in December 2001. The devices were allegedly being used to intercept programming without DirecTV's authorization, the company said.

Simpson, who DirecTV said did not have a legitimate account with the company, admitted that the two devices were installed at his residence and they were specifically designed to steal programming, the company said.

DirecTV sued Simpson for violations of the Federal Communications Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act that provide penalties for the unauthorized interception of electronic communications. The devices seized in the Simpson case were typically used to restore signals to access cards that had been disabled by electronic countermeasures. DirecTV said it has since developed new access cards that have yet to be compromised.

not complete justice by any means....I have no problems hitting 'my neighbor' in the pocket in small amounts....

OJ should be sent to the electric chair for stealing satellite...and murdering two people.

 

[Happy Camper]

If the dish don't fit, you must acquit.

He probably murdered them because they didn't pay him for the shady bootleg cards!

 

[Beavis]

$25,000? Pfffft...that's like what? 1 month pension from the NFL? Oh wow, he's really going to suffer.

 

[jamieh1]

Yea Directv had the story on there NEWS MIX channel last night, the directv anchor was telling how they found bootloaders in his house.

 

[Operator7]

You would think OJ would want to stay out of the spot light after getting away with murder.

 

[jzoomer]

He will never pay a penny of this if it is a civil action. He already owes millions in the wrongful death case he lost.

Man if that happens he will be getting away with murder again! Does this count as being a serial killer!!?

Wasn't there a thread on this topic a while back here ?

I think its something around $30 million he owes......
Why no jail time?
Guess the "glove" doesn't fit....again

I'm no fan of OJ but do believe that wrongful death suits are frivolous especially after a court of his peers found him not guilty. So IMO these go against Double Jeopardy not to mention frivolous. How could one be responsible for any death when he was not found guilty by a group of peers? There is no justice in this justice system.

Also, from a good conspiracy source I heard OJ owed the Russian Mafia a lot of money for drugs which he didn’t pay and there was an evidence trail that two Russians came to the USA to kill them and then they were killed when they returned to Russia. I also think somebody like OJ would love himself too much to kill some blond and her boyfriend and put his rear on the line and then off to jail.

 

[cablewithaview]

The bad part is by the time he appeals this, he could come out cheaper paying DirecTV.

 

[Beachbum]

If he can get away with murder, he can get away with stealing DirecTV!

 

[warkovision]

Maybe he could legitimately subscribe, threaten to change to E* and get customer retention to give him free D* for life in lieu of the 25 grand. Now THAT'S justice.

 

[Adkeith]

Who would have ever believed he was a hacker?

I'm surprised no skin head white supremacy guy hasn't snipered his ass on the golf course yet.
