Prosecution Didn't Do Their Job

I watched the opening of the Simpson trial on TV...

Not a big fan of OJ in football or film, but I was intrigued by the slow-mo Bronco chase - seemed psycho but in what way I couldn't imagine - and so, I ended up watching the entire prosecution part of the trial.

I videotaped each day off CourtTV, and FF'd through the wasted time. Also tracked some intriguing "insider" posts each day on CompuServe's Law Forum. Big chunk of my life consumed, and I think I drove Milady a little nuts with it, and really I did neglect some other things to which I should have been tending, but it was such a mad circus!

By the time the prosecution was done, I was satisfied that they'd totally blown the case. I don't think the jury made a bad decision; I couldn't swear, based just on the trial, whether OJ had done it. I didn't bother watching the defense part, because I figured it was already over. And the verdict was no surprise.

Sure have taken a lot of flak over the years for my observation that the prosecution didn't do their job - as if I was saying OJ was innocent. Especially got criticized by a twice-divorced relative who more or less sympathized with OJ-the-murderer. That was a little scary.

Well, done reading and commenting about the post. Now to plow into the comments.
