Thankfully she chose to have the judge set her sentance so we didn't have to do that.
Even though she deserved whatever punishment she got for taking a young man's life it was heart rending knowing that whatever happened this 56 year old woman was going to spend the rest of her productive life behind bars.
As the jury foreman I had to stand and read the verdict with her staring at me. However remembering the crime scene photos and autopsy photos we had to view I had no problem doing it.
What your telling us is the system worked.

LOL!!!! O.J. Simposn would be proud of that town. In fact I think they may have imported the Simpson jury from LA for this trial.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

You know what. I got a new perspective on that OJ trial when I watched it as part of an Art of Advocacy class. You know who was brilliant in that trial? Not Johnny Cockroach, it was Flea Bailey (yes I know their names are wrong). The defense did their job in that trial and discredited the star witness for the prosecution. Cockroach may have got all the press but Bailey won that trial.

Honestly, the LAPD helped to lose that trial too. They came across as either really incompetent or actually trying to insure that Simpson got convicted. The missing blood that they took from Simpson, but could not account for put a lot of the blood evidence in a bad light. The drop on the sock that was on both sides as if it were placed there as the sock lay there and not like there was a foot in it, they dropped the ball on a lot of things.

Actually the Dfense screwed up big time by having the Juice put on the gloves. But even then Im not sure that was a reasonable doubt. Hearing the Jury it sounded like some of them were doing their version of 'reverse justice'.
BTW those cops that beat Rodney King did more time for a man that was able to walk away and got millions as a result than the thugs that smashed open that truckers head did during the riots with a huge brick...
Reginald Denny I think was his name. Our Justice system is fine, it's our citizens that are messed up.

The defense didn't screw up, they pulled it off. The glove thing was Cockroaches doing, not Flea. They won inspite of Cockroaches antics.

Again that is wrong that was a good team on the prosecution. The problem was their star witness was a liar and it s hard to recover from that, they were blind-sided by that.
