Watching Dateline OJ what the jury didnt hear

[freshwest]

7. Going against the grain but watching the trial, I thought he was innocent.

I didn't believe the house guest or Mark Fuhrman. It took me long time to believe he wasn't being railroaded.

It was a bias on my part from so many trials in the south that I couldn't let go of and are just part of me, just as my reaction to Palin and others based on her rallies in the south. It left me totally freaked out before the election.

I didn't start to change my mind until the civil trial came out and there were so many interviews on the abuse. The history between them was long and ugly.

Since he was found not guilty, then jailed on the other unrelated case later, it appeared that a weird justice was served. The charges he had that got him such a long time in prison didn't seem to be in proportion to that particular crime, but it certainly didn't make him look good and it seemed the national furor over his acquittal had something to do with that.

It seemed no one agreed with me during the trial, and people were very adamant about his guilt, so I didn't talk about my opinion. It wasn't like my feelings were going to change what went down in the courtroom, one way or the other.

I cut off some people I thought I knew very well during the Zimmermann fiasco and never looked back. I did not accept their ugly condemnation of Trayvon.
