I came to the realization that there was something seriously wrong with this country that i had not previously understood at all when the jury let OJ walk. When 13% percent of this country could celebrate because a black man got away with viciously murdering two white folks, we have a problem. And it has gotten even worse in the interval.
I'm a 51 year old white man, and I watched virtually the entire OJ Simpson trial.
The prosecution utterly failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. There were several yuuuuge blunders, and they were completely sufficient to raise reasonable doubt.
For anyone who watched the trial, it's a rather trivial exercise to list at least 2 or 3 major problems with the state's case.
In America, that is how our Justice system works. Sometimes that means that Justice isn't served.
Many guilty people are acquitted because the state fails to meet the standard of "proof beyond a reasonable doubt."
Even so, I wouldn't trade the American Justice system for any other in the world. Even with its flaws, it towers above all other nations. American Justice is distinctly superior to all others, and, indeed, is merely another facet of the many which define American Exceptionalism.
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump!
