"Must be a lib. Cant debate without resorting to name calling. Well lawdud there is this thing called common sense and I would hazzard to guess that you thought OJ was guilty also."

That hurts. I am to the right of Rush. But, I stand by my belief that we obey the rule of law, no matter how distasteful.

Of course I believe OJ was guilty, but I also believe that was the most poorly prosecuted trial in history. I had a bet with a Prosecutor in the area that he would be found NG. She agreed. He was.

My whole point is, we are a nation of laws and they CANNOT be applied selectively, else we are no better than Iraq.

End of discussion.

Thank you lawdude. As much as we want to rush to kill this guy, we do live in a country that allows all its citizens a right to a fair trial.

Now, hopefully, it will be prosecuted perfectly and the guilty party will never see the light of day.

I have seen others suggest that whomever defends this man should suffer his punishment.

I have seen others want to persecute his family.

Message boards make monsters of us at times.
