    I don't know what amazes me more.

    -- The fact that O.J. still polarizes so deeply 13 years after the fact. I think he did it too, but I've moved on. If he wants to live his life like an arrogant, law-flaunting dick, well, it doesn't change any perception I wouldn't have had of him if he instead chose to live like a Franciscan monk.

    -- The fact that Boots so easily has some SJers in the palm of his hand with his agit-posts.

    I'm a moron because I don't believe that he's guilty? WTF? Isn't this america where you can speak your mind? I think you're a moron.
    If I agree with you, I'm you're pal? If I disagree, I'm a moron? Well then call me a moron because I don't agree with you.

    Well, no. You are nothing if not consistent.
    However, the evidence was not tainted; the jury was dumb.

    It was more a case of a totally--and I mean totally--incompetent prosecution team.

    Bullshit slap. If I agree, I'm cool. I don't agree, so I'm a moron. Don't sugarcoat the bullshit. I'm not for it today. You know that I'm speaking the truth.
    I think the evidence was tainted and that gave the jury doubt.

    I would think the same of you if you agreed or not.

    The evidence was probably not tainted. But the defense team raised enough doubt about its validity that the appearance was there. Kinda hard to fuck with the DNA evidence; the prosecution was too inept to convince the inept jury of its accuracy...

    Not only was the prosecution inept, but the defense team was probably one of the best ever assembled.

    They were good, true. But any four people off this board would have looked good too..

    I'll let Bugliosi answer that one.

    "Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it was only the greater incompetence of the prosecution that saved Cochran, Shapiro, Bailey, Scheck, et al. from defeat."

    "Perhaps nothing illustrates the incompetence of the main lawyers (not the DNA lawyers) for the defense more than the fact that although they went through millions of dollars of Simpson's money and had all the time in the world, unbelievably they never even bothered to interview most of the prosecution witnesses, relying, instead, on statements of the witnesses they were given by the prosecution by way of discovery. This doesn't just border on incompetence. It is incompetence, astonishing incompetence."

    He goes on for 19 more pages. Fascinating stuff.
