O.J. Found Guilty

Guilty.......

If you ever meet someone who claims to have found The Truth or True Enlightenment... run like hell!

yup......gonna turn into a race issue very very soon andwhen they find him guilty and when he appeals the verdict he's gonna say,"Oh I didn't have any blacks on the jury ,I didn't get a fair trial"... etc etc etc. Last time I checked a jury is made up of your "peers" not your race. He got away with murder once lets hope that "justice" prevails and puts him where he belongs.

This is what makes selecting a jury very important. While I understand your feelings on the matter, like it or not he was found innocent by our system. I personally did not agree with that decision, but it's something that we must live with. Is he guilty this time, it does appear that way but one will have to hear the case out. I for one would not sit on the jury, because it would be very hard for me to ignore my feelings on the first trial and not have that weigh on my decision.

I didn't agree with the verdict, either. But, "innocent" and "not guilty" are not always synonymous terms. Criminal juries do not find defendants innocent. They find them guilty or not guilty. Either the state proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt or it does not.

It works both ways, too. Innocent people have been found guilty and sentenced to prison or worse.

If you're actually innocent but convicted anyway, it sucks. If you actually did the deed but are found not guilty, life is a lark.

The system is imperfect. In a court of law, however, legal guilt is the only thing that counts. It has to be this way. Otherwise, none of us are ever more than a hunch away from a prison sentence or worse.
