[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The best part of this whole story is that justice prevailed. So often people of privilege get away with crap like this because they hire superstar attorneys etc.[/b] But I think these people were just so unlikable and so monstrously messed up with no remorse that the police, the DA and even the judges went the extra mile to convict them.[/quote]

Yep.

Think of OJ Simpson, that racist and sexist bastard.[/quote]

And herein lies another difference- OJ was seemingly very likable. Likability is not to be underestimated.

BTW, amazing we are comparing stashing pot in someone's car with a brutal double homicide. But I totally get you.[/quote]

If we must bring OJ into this, he was a public figure, so there really is no comparison.  That, and some people are depicted as "likable" ("popular", whatever you want to call it) until they are not.  Jill didn't stand a chance, because she was so over the top wrong.  Also, it is not far fetched to guess Jill had wronged other people before she overreacted (!!!!!!!)  to Kelli.  Jill was/is paranoid, there is no getting around that. Jill's problem is that she confused "sneaky" with "smart".  HUGE mistake on her part. [/quote]

This is probably fodder for another thread, but the OJ trial also came on the tails of one of the first videotaped and widely publicized police beatings of an unarmed civilians since the Civil Rights movement, and after the LAPD had been shown to be basically top to bottom Klan sympathizers.  Without the Rodney King beating, there would be no OJ Simpson acquittal. [/quote]

And even O.J. planned better than these people.  LOL.[/quote]
