Good point. I previously assumed that Barry Scheck started The Innocence Project to feel better about himself for representing a clearly guilty OJ. But now that I realize OJ didn't do it I see it differently of course.

How could Jason Simpson let his father suffer so much for his crimes?

It is a shame though he has had no interest from the legal system there. Like the Justice Dept with JFK. They've gone through the machinations of an investigation and trial and that's that. End of story for them.

You are so right! And I am grateful to Jack for pressing me. I would never have thought I could be wrong about OJ! But I was completely off-base. I lost a sabbatical to this case and never--not once!--suspected that Jason could be the killer. I am now COMPLETELY CONVINCED. His purported alibi was a fake and his mental and moral condition--including his abuse of drugs and inducing his girlfriend to say he had been with her--were only parts of the problem. Nicole had promised to come to Jackson's where he cooked--and when she decided not to come, he tracked her down, simmering with rage. When Ron showed up, he felt she had put herself ahead of him--and he blew a gasket. He was used to using knives and carried a double-bladed one with him. He knocked Nicole out and savaged Ron. The reconstruction is completely convincing. He had motive, means, and opportunity. OJ took the hit for his son--perhaps the least selfish act of his life. The evidence is there and it is powerful, detailed, and convincing. The LAPD has no interest, since it would demonstrate that it can't handle a serious case. It was complicit in Bobby's death, I am sure, and this one included lacing OJ's sox with tainted blood. I am astonished that I could have been so wrong--but Jack was right! This case proves like no other that we must keep our minds open for new evidence and new hypotheses and be prepared to reject those we previously accepted and accept ones we previously rejected--even if it was only tacitly because we had never seriously considered them. This is one for the books! The more I watched, the more I believed. It was astonishing.

Thanks, Jim!

I hope others are encouraged to watch by your review!

It is not a sin to be wrong; it is sinful to not admit error
when the truth is finally recognized.

Now, are there other beliefs you may want to review
for false beliefs?

Thanks.
