To Lisa Watson:
Yes, there are many Black rapists, murderers and pedophiles. However, what about SERIAL KILLERS? According to my research, they tend to be WHITE, heterosexual males in their twenties and thirties. The list of serial killers I found names only ONE Black man and NO Black women. Also, when was the last time you read about a BLACK person bombing a government building or abortion clinic? Or, shooting up a church or school? Or, attempting to assassinate a public official including the president? Those crimes tend to be committed by WHITES, not Blacks. Think about it.

Even if the LAPD is entirely racist, does that mean a colored person should never be arrested or convicted? A jury (or anybody) should not look at the color of the defendant, but nor should they look at the supposed racism of the police department. I don't care what you think about Fuhrman, LOOK AT THE FACTS! If you can put aside who the defendant is, and put aside your feeling for the LAPD, or Fuhrman, or the prosecution, etc. , anybody with an open mind will clearly see there is OVERWHELMING evidence that OJ murdered them. I don't even know where to begin, but for starters, if OJ had anybody see him at the time of the murder, was anything but a size 10, and did not have a cut on his finger, he'd be clearly innocent, but there was all this evidence and more! Just the limo driver's testimony alone is enough- he has absolutely no reason to lie. Anybody who thinks he is innocent is biased one way or another and needs to get their heads out of the sand.

bigdiscodog--- Ok, lets talk about those freaking gloves....Of course the glove did not fit. WHY, because you can not put a leather glove which was suppose to fit snug OVER a latex glove! I won't work. Let me put it another way. It's like putting a condom over a condom....it aint easy....Do you get it now. That was a set up (making him put on a latex glove before putting on the leather glove). Not guilty??? You ignorant people!
