I saw a Frontline episode on the OJ Simpson trial. My sentiments cover that trial too. All the people in this country (white people) who seem so absolutely sure that OJ was guilty and that the jury didn't know a damn thing is just amazing. Spend months in the court room every day, and then maybe I'll trust your opinion. Frankly, I thought he was guilty too. But was I there in the courtroom? No. I knew about it from newspapers and CNN like everyone else. So if those jurors think there was a reasonable doubt, then damn it, there was a reasonable doubt.

Unless you are intimately familiar with the case and know more than what diluted television programmes tell you, then you really aren't that knowledgeable about the case. *sighs* I agree, laypeople’s ‘armchair lawyer’ philosophies annoy me as well.
