NOT GUILTY!!!

The usual office buzz turned to dead silence, my co-workers (myself included) gathered around the few tv's in the office as the verdict was read.

Not guilty on all counts.

No one was surprised. Most were saying celebrities like Michael Jackson are never found guilty. I hate to agree, but I have to admit it does seem true. Of course there are so few examples of this caliber of crimes among the entertainment community.

In this case I think the jury was right. I did not feel that way when it started. I felt sure he was guilty. With all his strange behavior and kids around all the time...

But hearing some of the testimony, I definitely think there probably was a reasonable doubt, and you do need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in a criminal case. Of course the jury heard a lot more than the public did, so I trust in their decision. We'll see how the inevitable civil case turns out.

BTW - I still think OJ is guilty, but maybe the evidence presented a reasonable doubt there too.
