Michael Jackson
I didn't follow the media circus, as the story was of little importance to me, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the lynch-mob mentality displayed by many conservatives after Michael Jackson's aquittal.
Joseph Sobran is one conservative who, like me, was "relieved that he wasn't convicted": The Acquittal.
Sure, Jacko, and O.J before him, may well have been guilty, but the jury wasn't convinced. That's our legal system; imperfect as it is, I can think of none better.
As Sir William Blackstone stated, "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
