Test results: Johnson's blood alcohol level was .072

[Vintage]

You clearly have zero clue.

So.... YOU'RE DEFENDING DRINKING AND DRIVING?!?!?!?!?!onelevene?!!1??1

(Seemed necessary- its been lacking for a good page or so)

 

[YosemiteSam]

Wow, Tank Johnson was caught driving with a .072 BAC again?

Oh, we are just continuing to regurgitate this thread.

First off the system needs to be changed so that ALL of the evidence is presented. Now a lawyer can craft a question so that only PART of it is used.
Also- this BS about all evidence being thrown out because of a partially misspelled word on the search warrant is OBSCENE. There needs to be procedures to make sure that the correct address was what was intended, but now all a DA has to do is show that one word is misspelled in the warrant and all that evidence is tossed- and rapists, murderers and molesters go free.
That is the BIGGEST problem: all the courts care about is technicalities- not the bigger TRUTH: guilt or innocence. THAT part is now IGNORED.

Thats been happeneing throughout all of history, though it happens a lot less today then it did years ago. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, as it should be. But with advances in technology (csi) and other fields it is becomming much easier to catch criminals and much harder for the guilty to go free.

Yeah I apologize in advance if I cannot respond to every attack within 8 hours or so. You know, I'm busy letting rapists, murderers and child molesters go free.

And you are so proud of it. Looking to be another Johnny Cochran?

OJ hasn't gone around and murdered people since being acquitted.

Why not? Cochran was a good lawyer.

 

[burmafrd]

No, OJ just got away with killing two people. Sorry if your reasoning does not impress me. I guess I should not be suprised you admire Cochran.

I admire him for his knowledge/skill at being a lawyer.

What's not to admire about that?

Again, you are barking up the wrong tree. Cochran was doing his job. It IS in the constitution that everyone is entitled to a lawyer.

Yet, I do not hear you hammering away at the founding fathers either. Perhaps some of your ire should be directed at them, no?

It is funny that people throw out the founding fathers thing yet during the 1700 and 1800 judgment and sentenced where carried out quickly, there was no people sitting on death row for 10 or 20 years before the execution was handed down.

I am not sure what your point is about the death penalty thing.

I am against it.

It is not a matter of for it or aginst but justice carried out during the time of the founding fathers was much different than what we see today. Did these guys write one thing and practice another?

Lots of unsolved murders out there. How many other alleged murderers are out there right now that we know about?

helter skelter, baby (not the lame U2 version)

 

[theogt]

So I heard about this death penalty case in Texas today. It was a convenience store robbery by two men that turned deadly. In any event, there were two men and only one gun shot. Only one person could have possibly killed the victim. The police didn't know who did it. So they tried both for the same murder. Both were convicted and put to death.

I thought burmafrd would get a kick out of this.

This often gets lost in all the OJ fallout, but Cochran not only was a great attorney, he was even a better man. He was the first African-American to be an Assistant District Attorney in Los Angeles County, he was a champion of civil rights, did a lot of work for the financially disadvantaged, and was a mainstay at his church. I remember he was scheduled to be a keynote speaker at our school before he passed, at our Law, Religion, and Ethics seminar. Needless to say, he would have packed the house.

Yet, I do not hear you hammering away at the founding fathers either. Perhaps some of your ire should be directed at them, no?

Them or the people who really "failed" at the trial Burm continuously brings up. The prosecution and investigation were for the most part completely inept. If you think OJ did it your criticism should fall on them, because THAT is the reason why he was acquitted.

I think you can chalk that up to the fact that there are:

1) more laws nowadays... I don't think drinking and driving was something they considered back then; and

2) more people... people who happen to be criminals. I don't recall prison over-crowding problems concerning them either.

Still the fact remains, that the system they created the framework for is largely the same today.
