With a sharp attorney Vick can go to a jury and win. All he needs is a sympathetic “OJ” jury.

Due to the size of federal districts, its very difficult to get an "OJ" jury in federal court. Its one of a few reasons that personal injury defendants usually attempt to use removal jurisdiction from state to federal court. Moreover, its doubtful that the trial will last as long as OJ's..Thereby allowing those with actual productive lives the opportunity to serve on the jury. Even if there is one or two holdouts in the case, most federal judges are biased in favor of the US Attorneys and do not like a hung jury and will make them sit in the jury room for days before a verdict is reached.
