<< So you believe in the infallibility of juries and that is enough for you. >>

Nope. I mentioned the appeals process and the new DNA testing. Murderers have 10 years to prove their innocents, with countless appeals and safeguards. I actually would prefer some kind of "three judge" system, similar to Japan.

<< If their "pieces of garbage" are always guilty and worthy of death, then OJ is innocent and not a piece of garbage...and his release does not endanger other decent human beings. >>

The OJ case shows how biased the system is IN FAVOR of the criminal. I'd like to see the system changed so that suspects do not have to have a lawyer present before the talk, and, most of all, I would change the laws concerning disclosure, where the prosecution must show all of it's cards to the defendant, before the defendant gives a full statement. It allows defendants to fabricate their defense.

OTOH, I was kinda hoping that someone would have targetted OJ, on the golfcourse, one day. No such luck, so far.

<< Did you praise the jurors in the OJ case?? Pieces of garbage sit in every part of the courtroom >>

The prosecution messes up that case. The black jurors did what everyone expected that they would do.

<< Let us face it, we are not going to look for your watch once it has been through the incinerator...even if we have discovered with 100% certainty that it definitely ended up in a wrongful place. >>

"Wrongful place" in many situations is just a legal technicality. A criminal kills many, or brutalizes many, but he is wrongfully convicted of a murder that he didn't commit, and he peacefully goes to sleep on the execution bed.

Oh well...............
