oj is guilty! he got off on technicality. either his lawyers were good or the jurors too dump. blood was found that matched oj's dna, but his smart ass lawyers threw doubt on it by saying there were 3 other person in the whole of los angeles that the blood can belong too, namely his children and a relative who have the same dna strain. any idiot would know the other 3 have almost no chance of committing the crime but hey, american legal magic insists you must definitively proof that the blood is his and his alone.Originally posted by stoty:Who are you to say OJ is guilty when you weren't there when the evidence were presented?
And even if he IS guilty, does it mean anybody else who gets an innocent verdict in America is guilty? What about Martha Stewart? What about Scott Peterson?
Your logic confounds me.
I think Russel Crowe may get jailed for his latest outburst.Originally posted by stoty:My point is famous people get thrown in jail too. Michael Jackson wasn't found innocent just because of his celebrity.
1) Yup, he drinks wine from cans because he doesn't want to be a bad influence on kids around him. Yup, he nicknames wine Jesus Juice because Jesus once turned water into wine. Nothing sinister about it.Originally posted by Beep:Hmn, i think Michael Jackson really did do these:
1) Hid wine in cans and call it Jesus juice
2) Watch Pornography with Kids
3) Have weird statues of kiddo stuffs in his ranch
4) Touch (not surmount to fondle) kids near more sensitive regions..
but there just wasnt enough evidence to support these claims, maybe,, just maybe.. nonetheless i like wacko jacko
Nonsense.Originally posted by the Bear:any other 40-year man who shares his bed with children, irregardless of whether he's done anything with or to them, or even touched them, he would have his ass slung in jail so fast, wacko jacko won't even have time for a crotch-grab... so what makes a celebrity any different?

Well, the prosecution was crap because the prosecutor himself was an asshole. It is just that in Singapore, the state is an all-powerful entity and can afford not to pay for its mistakes. I am sure we have our share of crap prosecutors as in the USA.Originally posted by the Bear:heck.. the press said that wacko jacko got off because of the incompetence of the prosecution, more than his actual innocence.. and he was actually shocked that he was acquitted... those in the law biz said that the charges filed were severely flawed and that was one of the things that got him off..
in fact, i think one of the jurors said the prosecution's case was severely damaged by the actions of the victim's mother..
i guess it was not whether he did the deed or not.. it was more he was found innocent of the charges filed, and that the jurors could not find him guilty of those charges and were swayed by a few key witnesses...
these were straight from a news site i was reading a while ago:
Jurors remained guarded about details of their 30 hours of deliberations over seven days but offered some insight during a news conference, saying they were irritated by the testimony of the accuser's mother, who at one point snapped her fingers at them.
"I disliked it intensely when she snapped her fingers at us," said one juror, a woman. She said she thought to herself, "Don't snap your fingers at me, lady." The jurors were not identified.
Another juror later told The Associated Press that testimony about Jackson sleeping with boys made him believe Jackson probably was a molester, but it wasn't proven in this case.
oh well.. he may have walked, but the whole fiasco spoke volumes about the american judicial system...
Judging by the comments made by many, it would appear he have already been branded as such.Originally posted by the Bear:is it?
think about it...
he's had a past.. where he did not get off totally innocent..
anyone else would have been branded a childmolester..
