OJ = Capone?

Filed under: Bread and Circuses |

Now that OJ’s trial on armed robbery and kidnapping charges in Las Vegas has finally begun, we’ll soon see if the all-white jury which was selected will take a certain guy who OJ owes well over $30-some million into consideration. The defense is asking them not to:

Defense attorney Yale Galanter, angered by the tactic, told jurors: “This case ... is not about what occurred in California. This case is not about Fred Goldman. It is about what happened in Las Vegas last year this time and whether crimes were committed.”

But as OJ’s 1995 jury showed us, there is a concept called jury nullification. Sauce for the goose.
I just hope the guy on the witness stand is OK though.
