If you don't respect the triers of fact in this country, then you don't respect the rule of law. I have always suspected OJ was guilty- but I would never say I know the truth of the matter. A jury assessed all the evidence, and his demeanor, and found him not guilty. If you are not tried, or if you are found not guilty even with a trial, then in America you are not considered guilty. Individuals can, of course, make their own decisions, but you understand that to act on those decisions is basically vigilantism, and I'm not much of a fan of vigilantism. I never said that the person didn't commit the crime. What I am saying is that the rule of law tells us to respect the courts, and I do.
