So, how do you feel about OJ Simpson’s verdict in his murder trial?
You might struggle with such silliness, but most of the rest of us won't. OJ should be on death row, isn't, and thus cheated justice. This teacher, a man of prior peaceable character, should was goaded by a pack of jackals into an extreme reaction. The verdict in his case was entirely just--one of the few times I have agreed with a result by a modern English criminal court.
But what can we do? Say the jury's verdict didn't count because "we" know better?? Or should we choose juries based on skin color so that we can get "our" kind of justice?
I think OJ did it. I wish he had been convicted. But his jury wanted him freed. And I think jury's have that power and should have that power.
Do you think that this jury like the Simpson jury based their decision strictly on race or do you think the facts as presented were considered?
