Another trial?

I HAVE a question. If they ever find O.J.'s bloody clothes and his knife, could they try him again?

No faith in system

AS A result of the O.J. Simpson trial, I would like to state that I have lost all faith in the jury system. As a white person, I claim this decision was racist.

Money talks

DON'T EVER tell me again, in your paper or any other paper, that money does not talk. It has talked loud and clear in California today for a guilty man.

Sorry display

THE VERDICT in the O.J. Simpson trial is in, and it's not guilty. That is a very sorry display and testimony to our judicial system in this country. Here is my opinion that what happened: There was nine blacks on that jury, and I feel they all voted to acquit on the basis of the race card that Johnnie Cochran played. There were three non-black jurors. They had been sequestered away from their families for over a year and wanted to go home.

Question of race

SO WHAT else is new? All the white people knew they were going to turn O.J. loose. With nine blacks on the jury, what else could they do or would they do? If it had been a white man, they would have fried him in 30 days.

THE ONLY verdict that counts is God's verdict. There's no way that Johnnie Cochran and all the O.J. Simpson lawyers can circumvent the judgment of Christ. O.J. Simpson will pay for what he's done, and this time no amount of money or lawyers or anything is going to make a difference.

Los Angeles is saved

WELL, I'M sure glad that the verdict came back not guilty in the O.J. Simpson trial, because at least they won't burn down Los Angeles.

Plain truth

O.J. SIMPSON is a murderer, plain, pure and simple.

The rich get off

I'M SORRY to say it, but if you're rich, you can get away with murder. I guess that's as good a justification of taxing the rich that I can find. I hate to say that.

System stinks

I FEEL that our judicial system stinks, and I don't believe in 12 jurors all coming to one decision. It shouldn't be that way.

Elvis lives

O.J. IS innocent, and Elvis is alive.
