 BK> Most people who know the facts of the case would disagree with you.
A woman spills hot coffee on herself and severely burns herself.
It's no secret that coffee is served hot.  In fact, it is common
(in the home) for drinks such as tea and instant coffee to be
served from water brought to a boil.
Tell me, how would you decide the day some guy wins a
million-dollar judgment for partially castrating himself
after riding in a car with a knife between his legs?  Sob,
the knife was too sharp!
 
 BK> That one is true, too bad the prosecution screwed it up so badly, as
 BK> well as a poor quality judge.
Marcia Clark is incompetent (e.g. why didn't she introduce OJ's
police statement).  But, still OJ was proven guilty FAR beyond a
reasonable doubt.  BTW, the trial was lost in jury selection.
I'd bet money that Marcia Clark made no effort to get white guys
or conservative minorities on the jury.
 
 AC> the latest nonsense, a wrestler being awarded millions
 AC> of dollars because the jury didn't like the informant
 AC> that lead to the wrestler's arrest.
 BK> This one I hadn't heard about.
This hit the papers about a week ago.  The sob story is that the
guy missed the olympics after his arrested supposedly based on
information from an informant that the police supposedly knew was
very unreliable.  And, the cops are white and the wrestler is a
minority (Iranian, whose country was he going to represent?)
 BK> Then there was the unrefuted testimony of the forensics "expert",
 BK> Fong wasn't it? Too bad the prosecution wasn't sharp enough to bring
 BK> in testimony that his testimony was sheer nonsense.
Marcia Clark wanted to rely primarily on the police for testimony
(then she made almost no effort to defend their credibility
against attacks by the Defense, indeed she often seemed to attack
their credibility herself such as when she told that jury that
she wished Mark Fuhrman was never born).
 BK> That plus the fact that the prosecutors should have demonstrated that
 BK> every single cop involved would have had to be in on the frame for it
 BK> to work, and that Furhman wasn't the first cop on the scene, which
 BK> made it unlikely he stole the glove and planted it on OJ's property.
There were about a dozen people on the scene before Fuhrman.
Further, Fuhrman had no way of knowing that OJ wouldn't have an
alibi, or that there wouldn't be evidence pointing to another
person.  And, it was Kato who led Fuhrman to where the glove was
found on OJ's property.  There is absolutely zero evidence
that Fuhrman did anything wrong in the OJ investigation or that
he had any desire to frame OJ.
