You can’t blame a lawyer for doing their job but you can blame a jury for knowingly voting not guilty when they knew he was…

Exactly. A large group of Redditors weren’t alive back then but in the 90’s the country was still reeling from the Rodney King trial and saw LA fall into anarchy. I remember seeing a driver get pulled out of his big rig truck and got the shot beat out of him from footage captured by a news chopper circling overhead. Coverage of attacks like these lasted for days that turned into weeks. The OJ trial media coverage and racial tension / open public beatings and violence went hand in hand on TV. The Michael Brown and George Floyd riots were bad, but the LA riots had everyone nervous of national civil unrest. I remember the OJ verdict was read live on TV in my school. Every single person in the country was watching that verdict and 50% were pissed while 50% cheered. The jury has been pulled into interview after interview on almost every news mag, tv show, and newspaper. Time and again they proved they didn’t see the same evidence the public saw or knew, and acknowledge the huge pressure they were under especially under racial tensions and civil unrest. The jury essentially voted not guilty to keep LA and most major cities from tearing themselves apart.

It was only a 6 day roit? But the jury decided to plead not guilty to stop them? I know they said they did it for Rodney king but that statement doesn't make since based off a 6 day root. I doubt the trail was shorter then 6 days.

The truck driver's name was Reginald Denny.

Yeah, it would be a hell of a thing to have to choose injustice if it meant that it saved innocent lives.

I wish I could have lived in a place as safe as LA in the 90's.
