I didn't like it. But what can you do? Black people stick together and put race above everything else. You can't get justice when people take that approach. The OJ trial is not unique, but it's a good example of the race problem in this country now.

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.

Point taken. Juries do have the power to render such verdicts. But, if evidence had surfaced of any strong arming taking place within the jury, that verdict could have been set aside and a new trial enjoined.
