Cincinnati restaurateur Jeff Ruby is fuming. And his anger is traveling well beyond Cincinnati.
Following the sensational murder trial of Orlando mom Casey Anthony, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Ruby took action the only way he knew how.
He paid for a half-page ad in the Orlando Sentinel.
Newspaper readers woke up Saturday morning to the message Orlando Justice, with the O and J in larger font. Below, the ad read Unreasonable Doubt, and was signed with Rubys name.
During an interview with the Enquirer Saturday morning, Ruby said he did it because Im (expletive) angry.
Did you ever just have to get something off your freaking chest? he said. Im just tired of this crap. Im tired of people getting away with murder. This is just crazy.
Ruby made headlines in 2007 after he refused to serve O.J. Simpson and asked him to leave his steakhouse in Louisville. Ruby, who often has his picture taken with celebrities who dine at his restaurants and then puts the photos on display, once displayed a photo of himself and Simpson but removed it after the Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman killings.
He hopes those who saw Saturdays ad will make the connection to the Simpson trial and also take another look at the definition of reasonable doubt.
He called the verdict in the Anthony trial absolutely ridiculous.
Ruby said his feelings regarding murder trials are particularly strong. He sat in a Butler County courtroom for days in 1994 after his wifes brother, 26-year-old Deron Thall, was shot and killed. Johnnie Colvin, 22 of Hamilton, was later found guilty of murder.
(Thall) was like a son to me, Ruby said. I watched that trial and I watched that freaking (defense) attorney say he didnt mean to kill him.
Ruby hopes the ad will at least keep 2-year-old Cayley Anthony from being forgotten.
You got a dead little girl. You got a witch who got away with murder, he said. You feel like moving to another country. What they ought to do now is go ahead and legalize murder.
Ruby declined to say how much he spent on the half-page ad, saying only it was expensive and that another was scheduled for Tuesdays edition of the Sentinel.
He could have written an editorial, he said, but that likely would never make it to print.
