we need balance.

The LAPD has proved themselves too inept to be involved in any sort of conspricacy of this magnitude.

Exactly. This knife could have ‘I did it. Love, The Juice’ engraved on it and it is still worthless as evidence. Even dead Johnny Cochran could get this thrown out from the grave.

Given the officer’s creepy “look at my keepsake!” mentality, I have a feeling the DNA evidence on that knife is highly... compromised.

This is such a 90's teen quote, I fucking love it!

See, I watched the ID channel’s play-by-play using all original footage—aired last Saturday night—of the whoooole shebang, and I walked away thinking, “holy hell—he really did it and got away with it!”

Oh my god thiiiiiiiiiiiis. Like, nice for you buddy that you’ve got the luxury of all that income, but that’s another argument for another time about how women and men are treated very differently in the workplace.

LOL

Oooh, I can’t wait to read this! It’s especially fascinating how we’re still trying to shake off the idea that every part of you belongs to your spouse/the marriage once you get married.

I have a 24-hour flight coming up and just bought a Kindle. Guess I know what my first purchase will be!

Having listened to the Fresh Air interview yesterday, I am curious about the role of men in this. I mean, I know that is not the point of the book, I just find myself wondering if men are not wanting to get married too. Personally, it seems like my parents and their friends all married right out of college, but my…
