Robert Shapiro, lawyer for O.J. Simpson in his criminal trial, has repented his involvement in the Simpson murder case. After an hour-long meeting with Shapiro on Thursday, Dec. 19, 1996, Jewish Defense League National Chairman Irv Rubin emerged with a generous donation to the Jewish activist group and an admission from Shapiro that he has personal regrets about his defense of Simpson and that he is still shocked by Johnny Cochran's amoral comparison of L.A.P.D. Det. Mark Fuhrman to Adolf Hitler.

Shapiro also gave the JDL permission to take possession of the $500,000 legal debt owed to him by Simpson. Rubin said, "Bob is totally alienated by O.J.'s lack of payment. Not only is Simpson a murderer; he's also a bad pay. Simpson's got no class at all."

Rubin is looking forward to doing everything in his power to legally satisfy this debt. "O.J. had better go back to the Bahamas to get the money that he's stashed away because we're not going to let him get away with another crime," said Rubin.

What will the JDL do with the money it can collect from Simpson? "The first thing we'll do is to create a monument to murdered Jew Ron Goldman," said Rubin. "We will not let his short life be forgotten."
