Poor Marcia, that was mean. "Good morning, Ms. Clark… I think." I hate to admit it, but I was rolling.

You know who I blame more than anyone for Thomas being confirmed? The black newspaper editors. They knew as well as anyone that Thomas was a POS who wasn't fit to shine Thurgood Marshall's shoes, let alone take his place on the Supreme Court, but they blamed Anita Hill for "trying to bring a black man down". Now…
Jesus please us, I know what I'm NOT watching that night…
Girl, I was ready to slap the sh*t out of all those white people yammering about "the legal system is busted and we gotta fix it." They were fine with a busted legal system when it worked in their favor and against black people, but when it started to work against them, well, that was a totally different story. The…
Believe me, the amount of white outrage wouldn't have been nearly as great if OJ had been married to a black woman.
Oh hell to the no, you gotta be kidding me. They made a movie about that nitwit? They could have made a better movie about Francis the Talking Mule.
Herman Cain? You mean the guy who asked if they speak Cuban in Cuba?
Some people need to indulge in magical thinking. It's the only way they can accept an outcome they don't like.
The defense argument he presented. I've never heard of another lawyer who took the whole pile of blood evidence, turned it inside out and made the jury think it was unreliable. While Cochran made the jury focus on the racism of the LAPD, Scheck made them believe the evidence was worthless.
I never mentioned Garcetti, what are you talking about?
Which says all I need to know about Shapiro.
How come you're following other people if nobody can follow you? No fair.
Alan Dershowitz is still a famous lawyer, and Barry Scheck has won widespread respect with his Innocence Project.
Yours is the better analogy, but Scheck's produced a more visceral reaction with the jury. A bowl of squirming bugs — yuck. That's exactly what he wanted the jury to think the prosecution's evidence amounted to. Scheck knew what he was doing. A great lawyer knows how to reach the jury.
Very, very interesting reading. An OJ juror talks about what the series for right and wrong,
That was exactly the point Barry Scheck made in his excellent summation, which unfortunately wasn't shown in this series. If some of the evidence is tainted, how much of it can you trust? He used this analogy: if you find a bug in a bowl of spaghetti, you don't go through the bowl strand by strand looking for more…
It looks like NBC got the jump on the Menendez brothers story:
What did Shapiro think they were talking about during the nine months they were locked up together?
People have a tendency to see things through lenses colored by their own experiences. But I can think of few things more reprehensible than anyone in authority of any color shooting an unarmed person of any color in the back. Killing someone in a fit of jealous rage is horrible, but shooting an unarmed person in the…
Gee, you know what? I see so many whites who have no problem at all seeing a white cop shoot an unarmed black man in the back, and then they have the nerve to tell black people to "get over it". Different values, I guess.
