This case is a classic example of jury notification. Clark thought that women would side with her. Cochran, being black, knew that race trumped gender any day.


What the fuck is "Jury Notification" and how is this an example of it?

He still has that woman's kids! Gross Gross Gross.



Which is why the book's not called "I did it." I still can't figure out how he's maintained custody when he was found against in the civil trial.

I think he means jury selection?

I try not to make snap judgements, or be overly blood thirsty, but someone should really take a Louisville Slugger to OJ, a lot.


OJ really was an example of how the system doesn't work. OJ got off because he was famous and his lawyers played the race card. There was hard evidence linking him to the crime and yet he was acquitted.

Contrast that to the case of Jim Watson, a guy accused of murdering his wife. He was convicted when there was absolutely not one shred of evidence tieing him to the murder. The medical examiner couldn't even rule out natural causes in the the death of his wife, and yet he was convicted. The state couldn't even prove that a murder had been committed, and yet the guy was convicted. That is seriously fucked up.

I'm not saying there's a better system out there. But the one we have is definitely imperfect.

I was thinking "Jury Nullification" which is wrong too.

I think he was trying to say jury nullification, but from the context, it sounded more like he meant jury selection.

Edit: Blast! Damn you, PointBlank! Oh well. At least I've got the convenient Wikipedia link going for me.

seems like the slayer statute should come into effect here. but... i guess if you have money you are allowed to keep more money, even though people who did far less crimes are prevented from profiting from their crimes.

I guess it depends on where a person is also.

whatever

he is most foul and disgusting.

"If you can't rock well, at least rock loud"?

I didn't realize Slayer's m.o. was actually a statute now.

It's not like he can be re-tried for the murders even if he wrote a book saying he actually did kill them. Double jeopardy prevents that.



But they could get him for perjury.


No, they can't. The book is a "hypothetical" document. It's not a signed confession.
