I know what you mean about the OJ thing, but it seems that most of those involved in an important way have found ways to redeem themselves: Barry Scheck seems to have devoted himself to LEGITIMATE DNA cases with the goal of freeing the innocent with scientific evidence, Robert Bernstein has made indirect and elliptical statements disavowing himself from the verdict, knowing it was NOT a good verdict, Johnny Cochran has (thankfully) gone to the great Courtroom in the Sky, Dershowitz has come up with this and other right-on statements, --though he was all wet with his animosity to the Clinton "Sexual McCarthyism" effort, and Howard Weitzman, had the good sense simply to LEAVE the trial, for undisclosed reasons. As the years go by, there are fewer and fewer people who even TRY to pretend they think OJ was "innocent"---the most they will claim, like his friend Leo Terrell, who Hannity has on regularly, is that he was found "not guilty" in a court of law. Everyone seems to have just been "caught up in the excitement of the moment", and jumped blindly into a case that at first seemed designed to be the highest of high profile media events. But you're right, no matter WHAT they do , they will ALWAYS be the ones who apparently could NOT RESIST exploiting all the career-building benefits that the OJ Trial offered. As such, unless they some day do PUBLIC penance, they will eventually have to make amends with the appropriate authorities.
