You're right...I don't agree. I could give a whit about procedure in the pursuit of truth. I know procedures have been established to ensure FAIRNESS but what about TRUTH and JUSTICE?
Too many people are sitting in jail or on death row because something like DNA testing was not allowed by the judge or the defense did not investigate thoroughly. Too many criminals are still out on the street because the police and prosecutors screwed up or the judge was personally swayed.
I haven't been convinced one way or the other as to whether OJ is guilty or not....there are too many inconsistencies in each side's case. Sooooo under the 'innocent until proven guilty', he should be free. However, I feel he has been subject to a form of double jeopardy by his wrongful death liability in the civil suit. Has anyone noticed that this type of civil suit-after-criminal verdict is becoming more common?
