Yeah, I have. But I'm just talking about if all the evidence is there. DNA etc.

Seriously, I'm sorry but I just don't have much patience with this. I'll be the first to admit that the criminal justice isn't perfect -- in some cases far from it. And I'll gladly listen to informed criticisms and engage in discussions about them. But I have little patience with criticisms -- complete with s and $s -- that demonstrate appalling ignorance of the some of the basic constitutional principles this country is founded on -- principles that a fifth grader should know.

I understood it, but I didn't agree with it all. The part I don't agree with is how the punishment isn't equal. If you have money (like OJ) you can get away with murder. I wasn't trying to degrade the law, MC. I just don't agree with it all. Some of it, but not all of it, and there's nothing wrong with my frustration towards that. I appreciate you explaining it to me and I wasn't debating with you, because this is what you do for a living, it's just that I don't agree with the way a lot of it is handled. That's all I'm saying. I wasn't trying to offend you. Honestly, I wasn't.
