So there is no doubt, I believe that his first verdict 13 years ago will go down in history as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice that there has ever been. I don't doubt for a minute that he is responsible for those brutal murders.

That being said, I have great misgivings about the recent verdict. I have no doubt that there is plenty of legitimate grounds for appeal on his behalf. The fact that there was no black jurors (even tho clark county is 10% black) will allow his attorneys to claim that there was a racial imbalance thus he was not convicted by his peers. More importantly, the fact that the jury deliberated far longer on a friday night than they normally would have been expected to, ironically the 13th anniversary of the aquital. This gives the attorneys the ability to claim that this verdict was in part a move of revenge.

Is anyone concerned about the justice system? You can't be tried for the same crime twice. Although he hasn't been technically charged or tried twice, his attorneys are going to claim that he has been judged twice based on that first crime.

Personally, I hope the man suffers a long drawn out painful death behind bars. However that doesn't mean that I don't have real concerns about how this will impact our (already corupt) judicial system

Just my opinion.
