O.J.
Here's another news article title, "O.J. Simpson ordered to surrender Rolex." No, I didn't click it to read it. You know what? I really don't care. I didn't follow the trial that much. Other than the few/many sound bites that made it into the news and American culture, I really don't know what was going on out there.
I sometimes wonder though, what if he really is innocent? Can you try to imagine what he is going through now? After all, 12 people sitting in the courtroom thought that. They couldn't all be bribed or brain dead - well, maybe brain dead. As much as I like Jay Leno, he's made it aboundantly clear that he figure O.J. did it. And granted, O.J. was just involved in a pretty bizarre adventure in Las Vegas, but after all these years living as he has had to, can you really blame him for being a little off?
After all, we are supposed to hold sacred that a person is innocent until PROVEN guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. In many ways, I'm surprised we convict as many as we do.
