I don't know that he would let, if they tried. And what could they try that wouldn't tear the country apart? I don't think the country is in a mood for that. If he hadn't killed any blacks, maybe. But he did. There's no race card here, and it's about time. He's just a sick man, who did sicker things. And if he is really a soldier... he'll accept that. I confess that I worry about some slick defence coming in to turn things around.

Kenneth you left out perhaps the most important point- two of the deceased victims were black and one of the injured is black.

So would a black jury find him innocent because he's black?

OJ got off primarily because the jury was heavily minority and they came from poor and working class minority neighborhoods where they would have been ostracized or worse if they had found OJ guilty.
