So just curious - would you have welcomed OJ into your home since the jury found him not guilty?
OJ???
No, he’s not welcome.
We all know there were problems there. And in a sense, that’s exactly my point.
It’s easy (seems way, way too easy these days) to hear about absolutely horrific crimes. And it’s easy for us to get caught up in the emotion and fervor of what’s happening. And whether we like it or not, sometimes the legal system fails.
And that’s precisely when we have to step back and take a breather.
We can’t let our emotions get so in control that we forget the reasons we try to do things the way we do.
There are purposes for “no double jeopardy” laws. There are reasons we can’t put someone on the stand and start sticking them with a cattle prod before they talk.
And while this case and others like it are very sad and traumatize us, they are NOT as important as the ideals I’m talking about.
