Vengeance, American style

The all white jury in Las Vegas has found O.J. Simpson guilty of the criminal charges against him for his foolish attempt to recover by force his personal items from some crooks who stole them. There were a total of 12 charges against him, some of them exaggerated, like ‘ 1st degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon’, which the Prosecutor threw in hoping that at least some will stick. But jury had no problem in agreeing to all of them! They worked hard so that the decision could be announced in the night of the 13th anniversary of O.J.’s acquittal for the double murder by a mostly black jury in Los Angeles. Was that a strange coincidence? I doubt it.

P.S. I feel that the jury system in USA is one of the dumbest ways of deciding ones guilt or innocence. It is by no means impartial.
