It's especially delicious that the original trial occurred during the Clinton nineties - and that his prison sentencing occurred during Bush's term. I know it's due to different trials, but it is delicious news, and has a certain trend to it.

The day OJ was acquitted, I was at the Driver's License bureau in Denver. Everyone got silent and huddled around a TV in the office. When they announced "innocent" the crowd, greatly to my surprise, erupted in screams of hoorays, at top volume. People were jumping up and down, high-fiving, screaming in joy. (Kinda like the Obama victory announcement on election night.) I looked over at a Caucasian woman next to me, and her face registered disgust. A few other whites were in the room, every one of them was confused and disgusted, evry one was at once repulsed by the verdict, and astonished at the cheering. Every single person of color, to a T, was jumping up and down, smiling, screaming "Yes!"

It was unbelievable in scope, and in contrast. It taught me all I need to know about the future of America.
