12. I've seen the OJ comparison made before

but I don't find it comparable. Even after paying for a Dream Team of lawyers still had enough money for personal security. Also, white America is generally more content with the legal system than minority America, and there were far fewer people willing to make a name for themselves by finding and killing OJ. Besides, anyone who wanted to see OJ suffer could get their jollies watching Fred Goldman take him apart in civil court.

I would imagine that many places would erupt in riots if there were an acquittal in the Zimmerman case, and there will be vows of death threats on him for years to come. All that has to happen is for Zimmy to fail once, and he's shot dead. In any case, O'Mara doesn't need to worry about that, he'll have plenty of business from those willing and able to pay him the millions he'll be worth if he can get GZ acquitted.
