No, I'm just curious why you say something is, because it just so happens to be the law, and are
perfectly happy with it, while explicitly disregarding it not being so elsewhere for anyone else.
Texas is not New Jersey. Japan is not the US. And people who get justice are not those who do not
or cannot.

This is why you cannot simply say the law is, because that is how the US Constitution was meant
to be. How is it really put into practice? And why should any imperfections not be considered for
improvement if not change?

What "black" jury? Doesn't the acquittal have to be unanimous? And I'm talking about people who
are not so fortunate as OJ, such as poor people who can't afford good help, and minorities who
may get bad deals.

Then you cannot claim to be so "disgusted" with its "errors" such as criminals going free or
people not properly tried being jailed for decades or executed. Who is responsible for that
system? I don't blame the founding fathers. Those who can do something about it, but do not, such
as politicians or the body of voters, are to blame.

It's sad most people are too ignorant to see the legal system, among others, needs improvement,
and that something needs to be done about it, because it's hard to see how it will be improved
otherwise.
