It had nothing to do with it. Like who in this country never used the N word in private their entire lives?
Oh, I'm sure you do all the time.
But, yeah, when you lie about using the word, and then you are caught on tape using it, and also bragging about how you beat confessions out of suspects and planted evidence, and you are the KEY GUY who found most of the evidence, that's "reasonable doubt".
It had to do with his ability to hire the top lawyers in the country. It had to do with his popularity among sports fans. If anybody else (white or black) was prosecuted in the same case and no financial ability but to hire a run-of-the-mill lawyer, they'd still be in prison today.
So what does that say that if you got decent legal representation, you could probably get off? You kind of just made my point, that affluent people get off and poor people get railroaded. Which is why we shouldn't have a death penalty.
I would only want to see the death penalty in cases where there is indisputable evidence and no doubt. Even in the OJ case, I couldn't support the dead penalty because there is a fraction of 1% he may not have done it.
In the case of this cop killer, there is no doubt and he should be hung like the good ole days.
