This guy was not framed. He was guilty. If he is released he will probably kill someone else.
if he isn’t re-tried, at least they got 22 years out of him on death row. not much consolation, but.. considering california and the death row overcrowding, over 600 are waiting for their final exit..
The defendant was found guilty by a jury led by someone who worked to get on the jury. We don’t want people to get on the OJ jury to let him off. We don’t want people to get on juries for the purpose of sticking it to some big company. But we also dont want people to get on juries with a hidden bias toward conviction.
None of us know the exact wording of what the prospective jurors were asked. None of us know exactly where this guy was in the process of becoming an FBI agent. So I can not be sure whether I agree with this judge’s ruling or not.
I do know this guy’s status with the FBI should immediately be up for review. The FBI needs the answers to the questions I raised above and if this guy explicitly or implicitly lied in court to get on a jury, he needs to be looking for a new line of work.
