This is hardly a sober, authoritative source.

By the author's logic, the jury which returned a not guilty verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case intended to signal that murder should be legal.

[mattdono]

True, but if this ruling took place, wouldn't there be some precedent to follow?

I am surprised that Boortz hasn't picked up on this.

I will do some research. See if we can get some independent verification.

[ffusco]

Hardly, the case demonstrates that Tax paying is "voluntary".

[ninenot]

Agreed that the source has an interest.

But that does not serve to deny the truth of the report. Of course, there's a fair amount of "detail" missing...

Um, I'm not so sure about that. Now I didn't follow the O.J. trial so I don't know what was said, but I suspect the argument presented to the jury was that O.J. didn't do it. I would be surprised if the argument was that the legal code permitted him to commit murder.

But I agree with you; this case needs more careful attention and analysis.

"By the author's logic, the jury which returned a not guilty verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder case intended to signal that murder should be legal."

They didn't? I sure took it that way. Especially if certain racial pre-requisites are met. It looked to me like Regenald Denny and about 100,000 minority youth took it that way too. When they were done there were 43 more murders in La La Land. Off hand was anyone convicted for any of them. On of them most horrible, the infamous "brick to the head" was prosecuted and only got the creep who did it a few months in jail. (He's back now on another murder).

Anyway, I get your point and your right. But I'm not sure the OJ case is a very good example. It's the counter-example.

[Fledermaus]

No, the jury in the O.J. case just proved they were morons.

[des]

It does sound like jury nullification.

I know the old grey lady ain't as credible as she used to be, but I don't know of anyone who's yet calling it a tabloid.
