i still wonder if he was actually a successful wall street guy.

I wonder if he'll still have Tony Silvercreek next season, or if that lawyer is gonna jump ship if Robert does more harm than good. Seemed like for all his misogynist reputation, he could still tell that that was not likely a Frances move but a lawyer one, and that confronting her over it would be a bad idea.

Why are we assuming Robert was a good Wall Street guy? Maybe he was always clueless and that's why he's not in it anymore?

If he wanted to marry her himself, why did he marry her to Ramsay? I mean, what if Ramsay hadn't been evil personified? (It actually did seem like Littlefinger didn't know about him.) So, if Stannis had been defeated and Ramsay, Roose, Sansa, Walda and baby had all lived tolerably ever after, what would he have done?

Given the speed of it, I doubt anything the defense did changed anyone's mind either. I think some of them knew from the very beginning what they were going to do. He was so famous, and the victims weren't anybody to them.

I'm surprised she can remember it. I mean, 4 hours is so little time in your life.

I don't think Marcia would have been 'allowed' to be 'aggressive, blunt, demonstrative' without jurors calling her a bitch. Remember the thing where she was told to be nice and smile more?

the city's fears didn't have to be their job. they could have challenged the dna without having to resort to conspiracy theories.

I was 12, so I can't remember exactly, and I wasn't one for reading newspapers, but the gossip between the mothers was a lot of talk about cot death, and I think the general sense was that she might have done something, but she hadn't 'murdered' the child. They didn't understand why it had been pushed like that. I…

Oh god the louise woodward case. I remember so much of that. probably got as much coverage in the uk as the oj trial, if not more. Probably caused an entire generation of girls to give up thoughts of ever becoming anyone's childminder, but especially to go abroad as an au pair.

this is why i love self-service machines. and ipods.

So they were really allowed to go redecorate both houses for the jurors? That is just the most bizarre and disingenuous thing. Does that happen a lot? (Not an American, tbeen to a murder trial, in any capacity) so have no idea.

if this were fiction, you know Shapiro would have switched sides this week.

He didn't know, for sure, that this would work. It really was unknown territory. All the obfuscating could have backfired, the personality and charm could have worn off. I mean, nowadays people remember it for being a notorious injustice. (Does anyone believe he didn't do it anymore?) Underneath, people still might…

watching this show makes you very sad for that nature of justice. That some personality, that enough money, can outweigh all the evidence. That wealthy lawyers are exploiting your lack of wealth, and your need for heroes.

perhaps because, from her side, the evidence all points to OJ. Who could have known until this point how much this case was going to end up about personalities, rather than evidence.

I think Oscar Pistorious is the most comparable recent case. I think Michael Jackson's trial preceded social media influence very slightly.

we wouldn't have to, cos we would have got to see it, or presumed it to happen.

no, but no one has to make a huge impact on the world to be worth something.

i didn't think the promos for the this show bore any real relation to events happening in the season.
