"For instance, why do you really think the original O.J. trial was such a monumental screw-up, and that he went free? I think it was basically because the powers that be were desperate not to have another Los Angeles race riot erupt...so they decided that O.J. had better damn well be acquitted, no matter what. They made a practical judgement call....better to avoid much destruction and death and harm to thousands of people at the cost of letting one murderer go free. So it was set up that way. PPG I can understand why they would have felt that was the better way." LH

I don't even begin to understand your reasoning on this, Little Hawk. If the case had been decided by a panel of three judges, perhaps. But not in the man-off-the-street jury system. You are absolutely ignoring certain salient factors thereby making a farce of the subject.

I think you ought to take it back.
