11/13 Scott Peterson should have hired Johnny Cochran. Then he would
have been acquited based on 1) the possibility that black cops
were racists and contaminated evidence to frame a white guy
2) moving the trial to a predominately uneducated, white
supremacist neighborhood who feel threatened by the minorities
3) that the gloves/whatnot don't fit, and if the gloves don't
fit, you must acquit. It just goes to tell you that expensive
lawyers are in fact better lawyers.
\_ Please explain why so many people on the motd or in the world
at large seem to give a shit about this murder case.
\_ I find it really puzzling also. -- ilyas
\_ Are you a hoser? Do you have any idea the effect of
ilyasing the motd??
\_ because the lawyers are crooks, the minority jury is dumb, and
the OJ case proved just that. The fact that the case is in
San Mateo a predominantly white/educated town, proved just
that again.
\_ The media decides you should care. They see a dramatic situation
that has the right parameters for mass consumption and just
run with it.
\_ I guess we consume different media. I first heard about this
on the motd, and only found out about media coverage by
googling. Maybe it's because I don't live in the bay area
anymore?
\_ I refer you to the only intentionally funny line in "Traffic":
"I have actually dreamed about this... about busting the top
people... the rich people... you know, white people!"
\- the original BBC version of TRAFFIK is much much better.--psb |
