Update: DA McCann mentioned the federal government may get involved.

4. "This could turn out very very badly"

Could be, particularly because the jury was all white.

10. It has made me rethink the reaction to the OJ verdict.

As for the verdict, I have a SERIOUS problem with this verdict from an all-white jury.

Never in history has there been an all-black or all-hispanic jury and people who have no idea what it's like for minority citizens have no business being the sole determinors of such life-altering decisions.

11. As always

The cops never have to answer for their crimes.

12. Very very sad

the code of silence and an all white jury
