It sounds like semantics but the difference is hugely important in the legal world.
So no, OJ is NOT a convicted murderer.
lol as i said, there is a difference between civil and criminal ("the legal world"). A civil jury found him guilty of the murders, otherwise there would have been no award. For the purposes of this discussion, he was indeed found guilty of murder
