I once served on a jury that failed to reach a verdict because one juror, who happened to be the foreman because we decided to pick the oldest, refused to confront the facts.

Because of my experience, I can see the weakness of the jury system, but I also believe that it is the most solemn and important duty imposed on citizens of our country.

So, no, I can't say I would have convicted OJ. I didn't hear all the evidence. I believe the jury, although the one in LA seemed pretty stacked to me. I know nothing about the Florida case. Most people I know are convinced OJ did it, but I'm not willing to say that because I didn't sit through the evidence.

I will say that Mark Furman got a raw deal and was the victim of much injustice.

In the case of bin Laden, I don't much care if I see any evidence as long as he is converted to a form of existence that prevents his ever doing it again.

I think we have already seen evidence that says it was bin Laden. Even if it wasn't, he made it possible, so it doesn't matter. He's not entitled to US constitutional guarantees.
