You're right, he's being attacked, too. It is hard to be objective, even when we try very hard to be. I wonder how we all get pulled into these cases, I was determined to stay away from it as I did for most of the OJ one. Oh, well. It's the 24-hour news-cycle, we can blame that.

We get pulled into this slimey stuff because of the media; the media sucks -- and to justify their very existence, they sucker punch US with sensational headlines which turn out to be untrue, and then they lecture us on the morality of it all.

If we learn nothing else from this little dog and pony show, we should never forget that the media and their "stringers" are bottom feeders that can make any one of us look as guilty as sin -- and get paid for doing it.

My big "thang" is actually hoping to actually SEE a trial, any trial, where everybod obeys the rules........LOL.

Of course I mean the 24-hour saturation of cable news! News has always been in cycles...Duh!

Anyone have an idea how long this case will take to try? Who would have guessed the OJ one would take months, and I wonder if they'll sequester the jury again.
