OJ: did he do it?

[Dead]

Yeah, really. BGC is wrong on this one.

What about all of the people who have had their convictions reversed, some because of DNA evidence.

Not necessarily.

If you are in illinois and on death row, odds are you might be innocent.

Since the death penalty was reinstated in Illinois in 1977, 12 men have been executed. During that same period, 13 innocent men were freed from death row.

Good point.

My point was not that juries are never wrong, but that when they say "guilty" they are clearly ruling that the person is guilty. But when they say "not guilty" it can mean many things and often does not mean innocent.

In fact in OJ's case, jurors clearly said that they didn't think him innocent, only that the beyond a reasonable doubt standard was too high for some. They clearly didn't say "innocent." Look it up.

When Dead says "He was found innocent," Dead is clearly Wrong. LINK

If anyone thinks there may be the slightest chance that Simpson didn't do it, please, please, PLEASE get a copy of "Outrage" by Vincent Bugliosi.

Mr Bugliosi is a former high-profile prosecutor (he put Manson away). The book shows how incompetent Clark, Darden, et al were. And how a competent prosecutor would've presented the evidence.

(Example: A competent prosecutor would not tell the jury in his closing argument, "You have a tough call to make. I'm glad I'm not in your shoes." Or words to that effect, I forget the exact quote, but it's what Darden said, instead of, "All the evidence points to one man! To no one else in the whole world!")

It's a good book. You'll like it. The author is a funny guy. He writes in a very conversational tone...and he WILL remove any doubt you may have about this case.

(Every used book store I've ever been in has an entire section of Simpson trial books. You should be able to find this book for a buck or two.)

8 people voted no?

Even if OJ read OOT it should be zero

<font color="purple">I say no. What say you? </font>

If you truly believe that OJ is innocent, you are a moron.

"Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense. Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, 'what does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense!"

lol what the hell is that from?

[fluxrad]

South Park.

How the hell do you not know the "chewbacca defense"?
