Victoria,  this American will be judged by  3 Italian Judges, the famiy of the victim have a say, the lawyers have a say, there are so many people involved in the decision that she doesn’t stand a chance.  She has been verbally and allegedly physically abused by the police, who’s hands she’s been in for a long time.  She doesn’t know Italian law, where American chidlren are taught right and wrong according to the law from the time they hit middle school. She couldn’t even get bail, many a foreigner here in the U.S. has gotten bail, they may have to turn over their passport, or wear an ankle braclet, but they had the opportunity. At least here in America were judge by a collective group of people who are chosen by both sides of the case.  And yes OJ may have gotten a fair trial, but just like anywhere else in the world Popularity, Money and Influence can get you out of trouble as well as into trouble.  I personally know OJ from his time on the Buffalo Bills. I was a teenager and had been hit by a car while I was standing on the sidewalk by a drunk/druged driver.  He was a member of a group of athletes who went to local hospitals and help us learn to walk, use a wheelchair, etc. and get us back up and on our feet.   He kept in touch with my group of kids until he left the team.  He’s a nice man, when he wants to be, just like everyone else, and I personally feel from what I saw, read, and the evidence that he killed his wife and Mr. Goldman.

But my single opinion can not put a person in prision or sentenced to death.  Thus the nature of our legal system verses that other countries is the Better System.  Innocent until proven Guilty, not the other way around.  Protective custody means protection, not police violence.

No system is perfect but that of the United States I will say again far outways that of any other in the World.

Victoria one last thing I need to point out, the Italians have been trying to take over the world as far back in history you can go, right up to WWII, for some reason think their supior to everyone else, could it be because the Catholic Chruch,  who think their the moral cumpus of the world could be putting their two cents in??????????? There are too many factions involved in this trial, it wasn’t done all at the same time, it’s taken months where here it would have been done all at one time, not with wks and months in between sessions.

So would you want to be on trial here or in Italy?????

I’m sorry but with history and what I’ve read in the papers, on line and seen on the News that kid is in real trouble. And how did she end up with a fat lip,  can we say - cops.
