Again, I don't take much stock in that.  As I said before, at least two 
jurors were ready to acquit O.J., but changed their mind after a couple hours 
or so of deliberations.  And that was AFTER they heard the entire case.  I 
don't think this one juror's opinion really means much, given the 
circumstances.

What do you expect him to receive?  Virtually everyone expects him to get 
probation and a fine, and perhaps some time of community service, with no 
jail time, given his very clean record.  At most he'd get a year in jail, as 
opposed to a maximum of life in prison, were he convicted of forcible sodomy. 
 Of course, it's extremly doubtful he'd get the maximum either way.
... Look at him go... He could...go...all...the...way -- TD, Grinnell!
