In our justice system, defendants are allowed to hire their own defense attorneys. And, whites have a huge advantage when it comes to paying for a legal defense because they have more money. So, if you want equality in sentencing, then you need to totally change the system to prohibit a defendant from paying for their own defense. O.J. Simpson is a perfect example of how an expensive legal defense can produce a favorable result.

The OJ verdict was a "payback" miscarriage of justice...following the Rodney King's cop's acquittals.


BOTH were wrong and in neither incident...was actual justice served.
