The police took a sample of Simpson's blood, walked it through the crime scene and delivered it to the lab with some 'missing'. Then the technician spilled it, contaminating the entire lab. And those are just a couple of the many failures.<BR/><BR/>Had they taken Simpson to a separate lab, taken a sample, run the machine and then destroyed every trace of blood in front of his lawyers he would be in SQ right now as there would be no way to make any claim of mishandled evidence.

Black juries convict black defendants every day. What 'got in the way' was stunning incompetence on the part of the LA police and their civilian employees. Simpson had enough money to show them up for what they were. A few hundred dollars spent by the police could have prevented the acquittal - but that would have needed thoughtful police work instead of sloppy, lazy 'business as usual'.A Voice of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285284153694191831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-68212240287171811342008-09-20T14:25:00.000-04:002008-09-20T14:25:00.000-04:00Race definitely got in the way when he was aquitte...Race definitely got in the way when he was aquitted of murder. The state isn't obligated to go out and find blacks to be on a jury, just to satisfy someone because they are scared they will be convicted without them. They have random ways of picking people who get the note to appear for jury duty and they don't know the gender or race of these individuals until they show up for duty. When you commit a crime in a city that is 90% white and 10%black, you aren't likely to have many blacks reporting for jury duty. It is just impossible, which is why I mentioned in my first post that OJ should have done his homework before he did the crime. He does have one alternate juror that is black, so maybe before it is all over with, this black person will get to be one of the 12. That he doesn't have more black on his jury isn't anyones fault or problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-54623256555658295652008-09-20T13:06:00.000-04:002008-09-20T13:06:00.000-04:00Racism is a yucky topic as you always get confusio...Racism is a yucky topic as you always get confusion as to the definition (I found three in the dictionary I consulted; a belief of superiority, a policy as in government, and a hatred of other races for maybe no apparent reason) and then there are the perspectives of the individuals which complicates matters. Hispanics, asians, whites, men, women, etc., could all say they are being treated worse than before (another relative term), and I speak only what I know about which is my personal experience. <BR/><BR/>Today, as an ongoing student in all things social, it wouldn't matter to me (and I'm considered one solid race) if I had an all man, woman, black, white, red, yellow or green race of people on my jury. There is just as much racism in every group I have ever found on all sides of the fence. Racism is only one hate-button excuse. Simply put, it boils down to you either have integrity or you don't. A judge, prosecuting and defense attorneys having this professional quality should be able to tell if prospective jurors are the same. As this world is not perfect, there are going to be some bad apples that slip through to be seated at the jury, and on the legal side as well.LadySheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583481931214418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-37444107272776522112008-09-20T11:38:00.000-04:002008-09-20T11:38:00.000-04:00Speaking of the jury —it is composed of 9 women an...<I>Speaking of the jury —it is composed of 9 women and 3 men, all white. During jury selection, the defense objected to the State’s exclusion of all blacks, but the judge ruled that the State had made a racially neutral explanation for such exclusion, and overruled the defense objection.</I><BR/><BR/>There have been many studies showing how racism contaminates the US legal process, and how judges are often part of this problem. See this <A HREF="http://quixote.org/ej/moratorium_now/broch_race.html" REL="nofollow">study (LINK)</A> which is on the death penalty. One would think that here at least the system would try to be fair, esp. after Furman v. Georgia. The truth is that blacks are now treated worse than before, few are complaining about this and efforts to re-balance it have failed. "Racially neutral explanations" fail to convince me - I believe there are courses on how to come up with these.A Voice of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285284153694191831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-7196493826971588652008-09-20T11:14:00.000-04:002008-09-20T11:14:00.000-04:00Leah said...

Forgive the ineloquence stemming from ignorance of details concerning the legal profession, but also seeming to be omited was a lack of patience, insecurity or lack of wisdom concerning what should be done at given moments that even OJ's body language picked up on as he controlled a smile when she "threatened everyone". In my experience, the rules are told once. You do not have to remind adults of the consequences, therefore, she should not have warned anyone but done what everyone knows will happen if they cross the line. Since she didn't, she will not earn any respect. Great place for this court. Wish I was a gambler. My bet, OJ will get off....LadySheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583481931214418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-24696494909032139222008-09-19T10:28:00.000-04:002008-09-19T10:28:00.000-04:00Okay what I want to know is who the hell in this c...Okay what I want to know is who the hell in this country doesn't know that he is in court right now.
