What’s that supposed to mean? Vincent Bugliosi wrote a pretty thorough investigation of the trial and showed how the prosecution hardly missed an opportunity to blow the case. That sounds sorta balanced.

Sorry if that sounded stupid or ill-informed. After the trial, which I tried to pay as little attention to as possible, books came out by Marcia Clark, OJ, Chris Darden, maybe Mark Furhman, and some pulp, rush-to-press paperbacks. I was looking for an informed examination of what went on with the trial, in and out of court; one which avoided as best as possible sensational pandering to one side or another. I’ll give Bugliosi’s book a look.

Thanks,

Shaky Jake

If anybody has absolutley nothing else to do for mayby weeks, go here: [http://207.175.199.183/~walraven/simpson/](http://207.175.199.183/~walraven/simpson/)

This is the entire trial transcript from both the criminal trial and the civil trial. Even has all the sidebars.

I totally agree with Guinastasia. The guy is a creap (no matter if he killed them or not). Although I am not 100% sure he did it, I think it was him, but I would love to hear the TRUTH. Every detail of it. Wouldn’t you???
