the slyest, most hilarious, nauseating, self-serving nugget of OJ parole

OJ was retarded, self centered, and an a-hole today. Prison didn't change him at all. I thought they might keep him in jail since he was so defiant and unrepentant today. His attorney was a clown. It was like they didn't prep at all.

I actually find the jury system to be one of the most terrifying aspects of government that actually has a logical function.

Even when it's a 12 person jury, requiring unanimity, it should be comforting to an innocent person on trial. Yet, time and time again, cases with little evidence besides eyewitness testimony and/or other circumstantial evidence, result in a conviction (sometimes death penalty), only to later find exculpatory evidence proving their innocence.

And some states (I think Louisiana is one), an eyewitness can recant his/her story, and they can still present the original story as evidence. There are even cases where a single witness is really the only real evidence and that witness later recants the story, but the original story is admitted anyways, AND the person gets convicted. How DAs justify that reprehensible decision to move forward anyways, and how the jury makes those decisions, is terrifying.
