1. I asked my accounting prof if we could cancel class

He said no. I was listening on a handheld radio with an ear piece plugged in. A fellow student was getting code from her husband on her pager. When I heard the first one I was sure I’d misheard it. I turned around and she shook her head No and made a flat horizontal line with her hand.

The professor was pretty pissed because the class basically stopped.

I’ll never forget that.

2. Those two dead deserved far better than that clusterf..k that that trial devolved into--especially with the publiciity.

And the families sure as hell did. I will never get over it and I was a mere onlooker a thousand miles away.

3. Reminder that Simpson was found not guilty from the jury

either nullifying their assessment of the evidence or they honestly didn't find the evidence to be "beyond a reasonable doubt".

In any case, remember that Simpson wasn't found INNOCENT. You can't prove innocence in a court of law.
