I know he did it, but damn. Of course Mr. Cochran used race, so what - race has always been an issue when a black man walks into the court room, blacks are still to this day, given longer sentences for the same crime than whites. White jurors for years have looked at white defendants different that they look at black ones. The black jurors in the o.j. case did the same thing. This was not the biggest travesty in judicial history the way some claim. He was a rich guy who went out and bought better lawyers than the prosecution had. This has been going on for hundreds of years in our court system. I FEEL BAD FOR THE FAMILY.(although they knew o.j. routinely beat her when they were married and allowed him to do it because he gave them money and took them on vactions they couldn't afford) It's impossible for me a black man to look at this case and be upset at the outcome. This is the way the system has always worked.
