These needs to be issued? I thought it was some sort of law or something that you can't talk about a trial if you're still functionin gas a juror.

I find it odd.

OJ is accused of murdering his wife and a "friend" - he's locked up and everyone is screaming for his head.

This guy is accused of murdering his pregnant wife and baby, he walks around FREE for months, and to the public it's like - "no big news."

Scott Petersen was not a celebrity before this happened.

OJ was arrested when he became the prime suspect as was Petersen, there is nothing odd about it except your lack of knowledge of the cases.

The only thing I find odd is why the Petersen case, while tragic, is receiving so much publicity.

So it's OK to selectively enforce the law and arrest and jail only celebrities for murder?

Just because we disagree doesn't mean I have no knowledge of the cases. I have some knowledge of the cases. And other cases where the husband is the prime suspect. My question is why are some treated differently than others?

How the fsck did you arrive at that fscked up conclusion based on what I posted. OJ's arrest and trial received a lot more press because he was a celebrity.

Man, you're in a foul mood.

I arrived at my conclusion based on your statement that Peterson was not a celebrity before this happened. That would imply the only reason OJ was treated differently than Peterson is that he is a celebrity. Therefore, is it OK to selectively enforce the law and arrest and jail only celebrities who are accused of murder?

He wasnt arrested because there was no evidence. I still haven't heard of much evidence that points to him. The only thing I've heard is *one* hair on a pair of pliers on his boat.

There was a *bit* more evidence against OJ. Plus, there was a body-right away.

A *bit* more evidence? What, a pair of gloves (that don't fit)? A pair of shoes? A *bump* in the night? Some blood that took a tour of L.A. before making it to the lab for testing? An impossible time line? The "plaintive wail" of a dog?

Peterson had to be the prime suspect. The husband always is. So why weren't charges brought against him? They could have easily found the same quality evidence, I'm sure. Evidence is always easy to find. Just call in Mark Furman.

Because you can't very well arrest someone until you have at least some good evidence. It's part of due process.
