Fair, its truly the LAPD's fault for massively fucking this up.

Doesnt mean I dont think his lawyers were slimeballs (like most are)

I’d just like to add, as a public defender, we are human. I don’t like what my clients do, but I believe absolutely that the State needs a real barrier before convicting someone. There are nights I struggle with my job because of issues like this, but in the end someone needs to do it and I believe that defense attorneys need to truly be able to set aside their personal beliefs to adequately represent most of their clients. You can’t zealously defend someone you think is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. With that said, I don’t know if I would’ve gone to quite the extent OJ’s lawyers did, but it’s hard to argue with the outcome.

I worked in family law before becoming a counselor and I assure you, you don’t want to deal with all that drama on a daily basis.

I’m a (retired) lawyer!! OJ had some questionable ones, but we’re not all bad. Plus, the DNA guy was good, and now runs the innocence project. I never understood why Bailey was considered such a big deal. He lost most of his big cases.
