OJ? You mean, OJ Simpson? Yes, indeed. I see from the headlines this morning that singer (?) R. Kelly has been acquitted of having sex with a thirteen year old girl. Despite the videotaped sex sessions.
So, I guess all those people who said that even if they had a videotape of OJ killing Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, they wouldn't convict him, really meant it.
My lovely wife's take is a bit different. She just saw the start of this post, learning of the acquittal, and has concluded that the court system's mandate to seat a jury of 12 reasonable people has to be viewed as an unachievable failure. No word from her on what comes next should we abandon the jury system.
