OJ 2.0 huh? Did the system work in 1995 when OJ walked free? Can you admit some jurors and even complete juries are idiots? Or do you need a preponderance of evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that all 12 are morons to come to that conclusion on your own?

I wasn’t talking about OJ. Only this case.

Preponderance and beyond a reasonable doubt are two different standards, btw. Beyond a shadow of a doubt is not a standard)

And sure, any identifiable group of human beings can be populated solely by morons. However, it is very different watching news tabloid coverage and being in the courtroom as a juror. One is not even close to the other.

Sure, Anthony strikes me as a horrible human being. If I was forced to place a bet, I’d bet on she did it.

Having said ALL that, it is up to the state to prove it. And from what I (and many others) saw, the State didn’t.

I realize that these kinds of cases are immensely frustrating. But having Prosecuted as long as I did, I can tell you it is VITAL to the survival of America that this system works. The State must be put to it’s proof. If not ...
