Yep that was crazy to see the reaction to the OJ verdict. It was celebrated by many black people, and many whites were stunned. As I recall lawyer Johnnie Cochran made closing arguments to the jury in which he talked about the legacy of slavery and discrimination. Such subjects can be explored but had nothing to do with whether OJ killed those people. Why do grandstanding lawyers get to make such speeches?

Why do grandstanding lawyers get to make such speeches? It's the inevitable race card. Bringing up slavery reminds the jury that OJ is one of them and that trumps justice in cracker court. Same thing is going to happen in Cosby's trial.

Really good question since judges routinely disallow any mention of the Constitution or Bill of Rights by defense attorneys.
