Three unrelated stories about our justice system, all of them updated today, none of them saying anything good about our system.

1. OJ Simpson, still apparently seeking the true culprit behind his wife’s murder, has made bail and is now out searching for other trouble to get into in his never-ending experiment to prove that he can, indeed, get away with anything;

2. The jury in the Phil Spector trial is deadlocked 7-5. This leads me to think that at least 5 people truly do believe either that Lana Clarkson chose that particular night and moment — in the home of a famous millionaire producer she’d just met — to kill herself, or that there is some other way Phil Spector doesn’t deserve the to be found guilty as defined;

and 3. The drycleaners who got sued for $54 million for having misplaced a pair of pants , and who incurred $100,000 in legal bills, are going out of business.

So thankfully, the system has levied a harsh punishment on one of these culprits.
