11/11 I get the feeling the Peterson's trial is going to be like OJ Simpson
all over again. If you are rich [1], you can get away with anything.
\_ 3 things unique about the OJ case. 1. Johnny Cockroach and his
lame glove/chubaka defense. 2. Uneducated minority jury who
have sympathy for people of their own kind. 3. Uneducated
jury who believe the glove/chubaka defense.
\_ What the fuck are you guys talking about? I saw something
about this case on http://www.cnn.com but they didn't explain the context
at all either. What the fuck is the matter with this country
that every news story involving, say, the secretary of defense
of the U.S. tells you who everyone is in case you don't know, but
for some stupid fucking celebrity trial tabloid bullshit, it's
assumed everyone knows?
\_ Peterson is a shit salesman. You are a knucklehead. His parents
took out a loan on their house to pay his lawyers.
\_ Why? He's fucking guilty.
\_ why? cuz he uses a trout pole for ocean fishing?
go to a pier and see what twinks fish with these
days
\_ Not because of what he used, but because of what he
didn't use. He told police that he bought some fake bait
and used it for fishing, but when the police found the
bait it was still in its packaging.
\_ Because they love their son and will believe anything he tells
them as long as it preserves their image of him as a good boy.
\_ No. The prosecutors presented a weak case. Also the police
did a poor job of detective work.
\_ With OJ, you had damning DNA evidence. The jury believed the
defense showed reasonable doubt with a racist detective who might
have planted the DNA evidence.
With Peterson, there is no damning DNA evidence.
\_ The OJ defence of a racist cop trying to frame him is a lot more
compelling, if improbable, than the Peterson defence that the
police did not look hard enough for the 'real killer'.
\_ [1] Scott Peterson was a fertilizer salesman, I must be in the wrong
business. |
