O.j

"Literally dozens of law review articles have been written on the significance of the O.J. trial: the role played by race; the ethics of the attorneys; the meaning of jury nullification; the significance of domestic violence; and the meaning of forensic evidence. But none of that is the real legacy of O.J. It's just an attempt to find meaning in a trial that should have meant very little. The truth about O.J. is that for one brief moment, the law and the media went crazy and had a lot of sex, and gave birth to a vast sprawling beast that ate us all. With the trial over, life, law, and television returned us to our previously scheduled broadcast. It was all just a mistake, really. Let's keep it that way."

I remember where I was when the verdict was 'in'.

I was in 6th grade, at Lassen. We stayed in during recess, and the teacher turned on the T.V in the classroom, and we all watched.

The OJ Trial was the point where we witnessed the corruption of the American "justice" system, since the State has a near monopoly on the law, and the police, and both the cops and the prosecution did horrible jobs. And who do you think is responsible for making "race" such a factor in society? The State, of course.

I was in Jr. High when the OJ verdict was read. This black kid with a afro was like "Yo I told ya'll he be innocent".

You are an insensitive white man that cannot understand the plight of a black man on trial under a white justice system. He was framed because he was black!

He went free because he was black.
