Like I said all along, look for an "OJ" verdict. Regardless of what you have been told in school all your life of our perfect trial by jury system, it comes down to who is better, the prosecutor or defense attorney. When either has a witness say something and then the judge instructs the jury to "disregard that remark", it has been heard and can you really disregard it? Closing arguments are very important, and I believe whoever speaks last has an advantage. How about a court appointed attorney compared to the high power attorneys of big business. I'm never surprised by verdicts.
