I don't have any slant on the question.  Just trying to get some discussion
going in the sub.  In my opinion, the obvious reason is due to O.J. being a
American hero to many people it would be a big mistake (in terms of having
any chance of getting re-elected as DA) to even try to kill such a man.

Sorry if you took my questions as comments more then just questions trying to
keep the messages flowing in the sub.  If they can survive TV in the courts in
Los Angeles then I think it would do fine in South Carolina as well.

Not sure if I would go that far.  However, if someone is insane when they
kill their children then they deserve to die.  There is no way someone who
kills their kids, and is sane, deserves to live unless you make sure they are
suffering for the rest of their life.
