I don't think we do agree on the bottom line. It seems to me that you feel (
or I should say, "I thought you stated...") that the jurors in the OJ case
did not deliberate the case enough and presented an invalid verdict. My
contention is that the jurors were the ones who actually saw the evidence
presented in the courtroom. I feel they reached what could very well be a
reasonable verdict based on the evidence they saw presented given real world
situation.

I don't even get what you are saying here. I did not state that the jurors
had discussed the case before sent to deliberate. I stated I felt that the
case was particularly well covered in the courtroom. To me, a short
deliberation tends to indicate that the jurors were in agreement and didn't
feel that issues still needed to be clarified.

I know that I could be completely wrong. They could have simply all been well
bribed. But I don't have information on that.
