Mark, I don't know about anyone else, but OUR differeces are very simply put, you claim that the evidence if it had been preserved would have pointed to OJ, while I make no such assumptions. The only thing I state is that since it was not preserved, it proves nothing. If it had been preserved, it may have pointed to OJ or it may not. It may have pointed to someone else or it may not. No way of knowing. Everything else is speculation. Personally I don't care who did. All I know for sure is that the murder, whomever they were went free. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

The matter of the incompetence of the L.A. Police Dept at the time is _not_ speculation. Part of that incompetence is the direct result of the police dept as a whole of being rotten logic puzzle solvers. For example: blood + (bad preservation environment) + (murderer going free) ....meant absolutely nothing to the incompetent police "professionals" handling the case, because they were lousy at connecting-the-simple-dots. By contrast, logic puzzle solvers are good at connecting-the-dots. As Michelle would probably say, blood + (bad preservation environment) + (murderer going free) ...."that is all irrelevant" [sic] Yeah, r-i-g-h-t, that is probably the result of Michelle running one too many marathons, baked Michelle's brain. > Personally I don't care who did. I do. As a taxpayer in this country, I don't like paying for circus trials brought about by incompetent problem solvers. > All I know for sure is that the murder, > whomever they were went free. That too. Mark-

That's the bit you keep saying that is complete nonsense. Even if one accepts that OJ was acquited because the LAPD didn't do a good job preserving evidence, that has nothing to do with being a puzzle solver. There is no difficult logic puzzle to solve in knowing that if you don't preserve evidence, it may not be useful at a trial. This isn't a case of some tricky work connecting the dots.
