these days when you see signs that say "Free (insert criminal's name here)", was the OJ trial where that phrase started? I watched the ESPN documentary the other night and saw all the "Free OJ" shirts and signs and it had me wondering..

Thanks for dropping that knowledge on me...I did not know that.

I bet most of the young whippersnappers who post on this board thought it started with "Free Boosie"...

I'm sure it goes back much further with various cases. I googled Sacco and Vanzetti (1920s case that was a big liberal cause) but could only find a pic that said "Save Sacco and Vanzetti", not free 'em outright.
