The “weasels” were those who turned a murder case into a race case and duped a bunch of jurors with chips on their shoulders, not the LAPD officer you refer to.

Nope. By his misconduct, Detective Fuhrman blew the case against OJ. That clip I posted is absolutely devastating. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with race. It's true that Fuhrman was convicted of lying about his use of the n-word, and that is indeed a racial issue. However, in the clip, he takes the Fifth not about that, but about messing with evidence. Which has absolutely nothing to do with race.

If I had been on the OJ jury, I'd like to think I'd have voted not guilty.

That's because I place a higher value on sanctioning testilying than on punishing murder in the first degree. It's a matter not about crime control but about state power.

Testilying is misconduct by the government. Murder 1 is misconduct by ordinary individuals who do not possess the power of the state. Conservatism is about limits on the power of the government.
