Has The Juice Finally Run Dry?

Ever since the infamous O.J. Simpson trial there have been many debates concerning his guilt or innocence and plenty of talk about the legal system of the USA. You have those who believe that he did it simply because of the so called evidence presented in & out of court and the stories that were spun from who knows where.
Despite the fact that the biased L.A.P.D. had made many errors and were proven to have done things that threw fairness out the window, many just 'felt' that he did it.
How does a trained and seasoned veteran of the police department take blood sample form O.J. Simpson and instead of taking them straight to its proper place to be signed for, vouched for, and locked away to be examined, he goes all around town with them. The distance from the place where the blood was drawn from O.J. Simpson to where the detective should have taken them was shorter than all of the other places that he actually carried the blood before taking it to it's proper destination. One of those places was O.J. Simpson's house. Another place he visited was the alleged victim's home. Thereafter, they seem to find some of O.J. Simpson's blood at the victim's house.
This is grounds enough to say that evidence was more than likely planted by the police. Yet, some people still would rant and rave that O.J. did commit those murders. The truth is that we do not know because of the botched police involvement. Therefore no other verdict but not guilty that could be reached. This is what makes our legal system fair. You should not use your feelings to judge. The rules and criteria are set in place so that feelings are kept out of it.
These feelings are the same that we all know were felt by many in the criminal justice styems throughout this country. They felt that O.J. Simpson got away with murder and if given the chance many of them would make him pay. Simpson was caught in a foolish act in Las Vegas, Nevada. The others involved were criminals who could not be trusted as far as they could be thrown. Yet, they were told to make this foolish act look as bad as they could and make Simpson look like the criminal they felt he was because he had gotten off on the prior double homicide in California. This would ensure that he received more time than was need for his so called crime even though this would be his first offense.
The truth is that it would be very hard for O.J. Simpson to get a fair trial because of his past. Even though he was found not guilty in the slayings of his former wife and her male friend Ron Goldman this man could not find justice.
I believe that Simpson will be granted an appeal. He will more than likely do about five or six years of his 9-33 year sentence. Let us wait and see.
