Why can't they get it right all the time.

The thing that really stumped me was the late night court time.

That's when the jury came in ,so all they had to do was announce the verdict.


I was re-reading a article about the verdict & I was struck by the stark
irony of the numbers of this. Quote from the article..................

LAS VEGAS - In a city where luck means everything, O.J. Simpson came out the big loser — and his unlucky number in a case full of bizarre twists was 13.


He was convicted of an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 13 and was found guilty on the 13th anniversary of his Los Angeles murder acquittal. The Las Vegas jury deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial.


And then, as only the racking sobs of Simpson's sister broke the silence late Friday, the lights went out.

Court marshals flipped on flashlights and shouted for everyone to stay seated. Only the judge knew what had happened. It was 11 p.m. and the courthouse lights had shut down automatically.

"Timed out," Judge Jackie Glass said in a fitting epitaph for the story of O.J. Simpson, which has long haunted America.

That's pretty rare in any case. In his civil trial they also did the evening verdict reading.

Most judges would have sealed the verdict and told everyone to come back on Monday. That AH has really impacted the justice system and they way it works, forever!
