I think the prosecution bungled this one bigtime.
They should have prepared better. It seemed all along that it was too easy for Mesereau to poke holes in the prosecution's case.
They didn't have their ducks in a row and now this freak and all of his supporter-freaks are untouchable.
Never, ever, will I, or anyone in my family, set foot in the state of California. I may even cease doing any online shopping with firms located there. OJ walked and now this. Good grief! Shut the state down and board it up. There is nothing there worth anything. (No offense to any Cali-Freepers who may be reading this.)
And that will be the legacy of this case....He's untouchable now.
This coming from the home state of Garrison Keillor! ;^)
FWIW, there was actually PHYSICAL EVIDENCE and CREDIBLE WITNESSES in the OJ case, but it was a racial verdict. Maybe unique to California, maybe not. (By the way, you're very much welcome to stay the heck out -- indeed, California has become a liberal nightmare primarily because of out-of-state liberal Midwesterners and Easterners moving in and bringing their politics with them -- us natives and descendents of California pioneers have a long proud history of being Republican to the core).
The OJ case is a bit different from the MJ case, where the accusers were known and established flakes and con-artists and when it comes down to the nitty gritty, there wasn't any concrete proof, just words. Certainly it wasn't enough to convince a Santa Maria jury -- Santa Maria, by the way, is a town I know very well and which is primarily agricultural and conservative. If the jury didn't find him guilty ... it's probably because the evidence wasn't there.
