As for Greg, I see no reason to respond to his off the charts hyperbole.
I don't have to like a verdict, and I am free to say so. That doesn't
make those of us who disgree with these verdicts "mobs" in the street. I
didn't like the OJ verdict in his murder trial. Did you?
OJ simply proved the LA prosecutors and LAPD were so incompetent that
they couldn't frame a guilty man.
I didn't think they made the case "beyond a reasonable doubt" and OJ
had a good enough legal staff to make that apparent to the jury.
Allegations of past racism by LAPD got OJ a walk.
You're obfuscating. The question was, Did you like the verdict in that
OJ case?
I understood and accepted the verdict. Maybe I am more pragmatic about
the ramifications of a fair trial. The prosecution has to make their
case without any reasonable doubt and in all of these cases, there is
far more reasonable doubt than the lynch mob is willing to accept.
If you want to complain that poor people don't get as good a chance to
show reasonable doubt because they are outgunned by the government, I
agree. I doubt any of us have the money to hire OJ's dream team. He
didn't after the first trial either.In that regard the system favors
the rich but that is not necessarily racist. OJ is black. When he was
rich, he beat a murder rap. When he was poor, he ended up in jail for
a questionable robbery rap.
Let's see how Cosby makes out.
Once again, the question was "Did you like the verdict?" That is not the
same as accepting the verdict. I accepted the verdict in the Missouri
case, but I didn't like it.
