The Problem With the OJ Simpson Guilty Verdict is.....

The problem with the OJ Simpson guilty verdict is the judicial system it exposes. One problem that should be worrisome to us all is that prior findings of "not guilty" or "innocent" are held against you. The Fifth Amendment of our Constitution reads, "nor shall any person be subject for he same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." The Sixth Amendment reads: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trail, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed…" If it can happen to OJ it can happen to you.
 
The mistake OJ made was to think he was beyond the reach of the judicial system. As the Innocence Project has proved and continues to prove, if the judicial system wants you it will get you, guilt and innocence are not relevant.
