Try to imagine the authorities even taking up the case if he wasn't famous. That's what I've been getting at - the more conspicuous you are the more people expect from you. And if you fail to meet their expectations, no one wants to hear from you again. True, OJ was never convicted of murder but he's now the world's loneliest man which in a condign way is a fitting punishment for his crime. Every one may start out with a presumption of equal treatment under the law but their station in life and people's perception of it, does influence the kind of treatment they'll get in the event they're suspected of wrong-doing.

That does not make it right. It is even worse in this situation because the procedures of the system are being excercised differently in this ONE case.

This is not a result of "station" in life. This is solely a result of being against the Democrat Party. This is no different than commuinsts in the USSR using all state tools to crush opposition.

In the end I hope this can be turned around to crush democrats.

The one case you use to support your argument is one where somebody the majority believe guilty got off, then twist it to sound like he got nailed instead. Try giving us a real example of a celebrity held to a higher standard. And I mean in a criminal sense, not the race junk the use to nail people.
