Wow. A rich politician managed to buy enough lawyers to keep him out of prison.

That is amazing news. I must subscribe to your newsletter.

Or maybe there is the possibility that he really wasn't guilty. But I don't see you accepting that answer because of his political stance.

I'm sure he's every much as "not guilty" as OJ.

Read the dissenting opinion.

IMHO Quades post rings true (and I usually vote republican).

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board.

It's always nice to see a jury being told that they did not know what they were doing.

As I said.

You realize that OJ's son:

A) Was big enough and strong enough to have committed the acts in question.

B) REALLY did not like his soon-to-be-ex stepmother.

C) Was at that tender age where impulse control is at a nadir.

and

D) Was the one person for whom OJ would take the heat without clarification?

I do not claim that anyone in particular did it, and agree that it is pretty likely that OJ did. However, even if he had been convicted, there is a significant chance that he would fall on his sword before turning in his son.

If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic event, you would have a shot at the Gold.

Isn't that the case where the prosecutor had to go to four grand juries before he found one that would give him an indictment?

Yep, that be the one.

[Channman 2]

To note: Justice Melissa Goodwin of Austin wrote the majority opinion, joined by visiting Justice David Gaultney, both Republicans. The dissenting vote was cast by Chief Justice J. Woodfin "Woodie" Jones, a Democrat.

Since I don't have a legal background, I conclude it's partisan politics at play...this time Delay won.

Glad you've finally come around to understanding the situation.

Delay is one of the most corrupt modern day politicians. The only reason he is free today is everything happened in Texas.

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty who are more corrupt; however, DeLay is corrupted in part by power, and he's an asshole. He wields power like a bat, preferring opposing views to be silenced by political force.

If you never have to talk to someone, they don't exist, right?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

As a matter of law, that is correct.

Maybe the IRS will come after him.

Well, at least the jury involved in the Zimmerman trail knew what they were doing.
