A not guilty verdict would have made last year's riots...sorry..."protests"...look like a church service.
Again, no point to discuss any more. Take care everyone. Stay safe.

I think he was found guilty because there was a video of him murdering someone. It was not exactly a difficult case and the only reason he didn't plead out was because racists donated a ton to his defense fund and cops get preferential treatment in courts.
Also most Americans believe justice was not served in the OJ trial. Again, not sure what that has to do with this outside of you thinking a white guy should be allowed to murder a black guy because a black guy got away with it 30 years ago.
But you're right, why focus on something trendy when we can be discussing the miscarriage of justice that let Harry Thaw walk free.
