We previously mentioned that Mike Tyson was going to play a murderer on Law & Order: SVU.

We also mentioned that an outraged rape survivor started a petition on Change.org asking that NBC not cast a convicted rapist on their show.

Well Tyson has finally spoken out, saying:

Ew! This is beyond sick — so we kind of hope this is a bunch of b.s. — but O.J. Simpson is reportedly trying to auction off the knife he used to kill Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman!

The murder weapon was never found and ended up being a key component of his acquittal, so it's worth about about $5 million to somebody out there.

A source says the convict — currently serving time for armed robbery — wants to keep the deal on the down low and explained:

Wow. Well there's certainly a first time everything then!

Randall Lee Church spent 26 years in a Texas prison for the murder of another man when he was 18, but apparently, when he was released in April of 2011, the real world wasn't to his liking, so he decided that the only way to get back behind bars was to commit another crime - and burned a house a down!

Only 96 days after being released, re-acclimating to the modern world was just too difficult for him, so he set an abandoned house on fire, pled guilty to arson, and willingly went back into custody!

He explains:

Injustice is served.

Yesterday, we were thrilled to see how many people were taking a stand and speaking out in an attempt to save 42-year-old Georgia native/death row convict Troy Davis from the death penalty.

As a reminder, Troy was accused of killing Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989, but many believe there was too much doubt to warrant an execution.

Unfortunately,

We're so thrilled that so many are taking a stand against such a GROSS injustice!

After the last plea for clemency on behalf of Troy Davis, the 42-year-old Georgia native and death row convict whom many believe to be wrongly accused of killing a police officer in 1989, was turned down yesterday, many celebrities - including Kim Kardashian, Diddy, Samantha Ronson, Rosario Dawson, and many more - have taken to their Twitter accounts before his scheduled 7pm execution today to lash out at the justice system with the hashtag #TooMuchDoubt, while others have encouraged their followers to participate in rallies, e-mail and call the parole board, the judge, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder!

With so little time left, we sincerely hope that the powers that be can reconsider! How are we supposed to have faith in the justice system when things like this are STILL happening?!
