Sir R, <There is no doubt that the police and prosecution botched it, whether or not OJ was guilty. Too many Americans, however, view it as something the jury botched. And yes, it is often precisely because he is black, he was married to a white woman who was later murdered and what other evidence is needed?>
It's funny how people think that because some policeman is a racist, they think that proves OJ didn't do it. And you have zero idea that any person at all thinks OJ didit because he was melanin-rich married to a melanin-deficient person. That's an urban myth. Can you name any of those people or is it just 'interviewing the keyboard'?
A jury found OJ didit. Another jury decided he hadn't been totally proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. That doesn't mean he didn't do it. That just means they were bamboozled by it all and their opinion was that the case wasn't certain enough. That is a very long way from saying he didn't do it.
I watched that case for days and days on end out of morbid curiosity about the amazing world of mayhem in the USA and how the USA legal system and media and juries work.
Now, why was he on the run in the famous freeway chase? Oh, that's right, he was looking for the real killer. Anyway, I'm not going to go through it all but it's funny how police who would get fired or assassinated for falsifying evidence against such a famous and popular figure are expected to risk their careers and lives by planting evidence. Suppose he had an iron-clad alibi, then the evidence would be very conspicuously pointing at the criminal police officer who would not be in a comfortable position.
In my opinion, lots of stuff pointed straight at OJ and nothing suggested otherwise.
He dunnit! There's a SI thread about it. On the other hand, maybe Osama didn't dunnit either? I'm less convinced Osama dunnit than I am that OJdidit.
Maybe the military tribunals will get better answers quicker and cheaper and they are a really good idea!
Meanwhile, Pakistan and India are daggers drawn! That is NOT a good thing on 1 January 2002. If New Mexico freedom-fighters based in Mexico had shot up the Capitol, the USA would go nuts! It would not be reasonable to treat Mexico and the USA as equally liable in the risk of war. When Osama's gang destroys the WTC from Afghanistan, there is general support for the USA as the injured party.
The USA should take India's part in the conflict and require Pakistan to capture or kill all the 'freedom fighters' involved in attacks inside India. If Pakistan is out of control or unwilling, then they become similar to Omar and the Taleban.
