Exactly. If, and from what I have seen (granted, I haven't OJ'd over the case), the prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was indeed guilty of premeditated murder, she SHOULD have been found "not guilty".
The presumption of innocence demands it.
In the absence of physical evidence which supports the prosecution's case, clear, credible testimony establishing a sequence of events, and other simple yet essential foundations on which to base a guilty verdict, the circumstantial evidence alone was not enough.
The family has been exposed as an excrable mess, they'll have to live with that, and they will have to live with themselves until they meet the Judge who already knows what has transpired.
In the meantime, who would imperil their immortal soul on the off chance they might be wrong?
Enough of the tv lynch mob.
The former perp is looking for a job as a babysitter. Would you trust your children to her care?!
This is where the tire meets the gravel road, pal! Enough posturing, defending the indefensible!
Yup. FR has lost it’s mind today.
You don’t allow someone who is most likely the actual murderer to just roam the streets freely and hope that she won’t do anything again.
Folks have little trust in Divine Providence in such cases that can’t be decided. The mob is hungry tonight. At least THIS mob is only a fulsome bevy of blustering emotiion driven justice-frenziers. That is, it reminds me of one place I lived when young and poor, that had a tin porch roof, yet the huge busomed and equally empty-brained young blonde lady upstairs would feed stray cats who could readily jump from the fences onto it.
In the heat of the city summer those cats truly raised a horrible ruckus in wailing and skittering acrost thet hot tin roof. If I wasn’t working and drinking so hard at the time it might have kept me up.
I understood the jury was sequestered to prevent them from knowing what was happening outside of the courtroom.
Doesn't that make the mob influence rather moot?
