You are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Tis
better to let a hundred criminals go free than to execute one innocent
man. Sure the OJ Simpson thing was a fiasco and simply a mockery of the
judicial system but if you want the opinion of all of us in LA we're
mostly all glad that he was aquitted. No telling what kind of rioting
would have ensued. The system is not perfect but it's better than those
police states where they lock up all political opponents. Would you like
to be locked up for a crime you didn't commit but you just happend to be
in the wrong place at the wrong time?
