I guess it did. All I know is I’m alone in this huge world living in a junk town in Cleveland. Although getting passed the border without a passport was…

A typical jury is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether a person is guilty or not guilty of what they are charged. We were not a typical jury. Instead of deciding whether or not Oj Simpson is guilty or Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman’s deaths, we decided if he is responsible for the deaths.
