THAT Interview with Latoya Jackson..

[Piamed]

sorry toks, but OJ was also found innocent, i dont know if he did what he was accused of, but to me he was physically and mentally screwed up, what he did to his face, some of the things he said, i wouldn't let him look after little joe, would you have let him look after your daughter toks ?

Well did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash, to pay for Cochran - Good Charlotte - Lifestyle Of The Rich And The Famous

I hear you matey. No doubt Michae had unique challenges/issues. I would not have anyone i do not know personally look after Marikit for sure.

I was considering the same thing yesterday. There was no way Steven Gerrad was going to get found gulity even though the camera shows him hitting the chap several times and totally aware when his friend elbowed him. Same as Amy Winehouse - she was also not gonna have any issues in court.

Similarly, police are seeemingly infallible. They arrest a guy for forcing the door to access his own home and even though the guy proves its his home they arrest him anyway. Black son of a famous basketballer gets shot as the police wonder what a young black man is doing in a nice car in that particular neighbourhood. As I mentioned an a previous post. Many years ago I got jumped by 9 Turkish guys in Liverpool Street (case of mistaken identity) - guess who got arrested?

I have had enough bad experieces with the British police myself not to automatically assign respect to them ( I was always getting search and stops when driving nice cars). Having said that ,the cops in th US that I have had tp deal with were thugs by comparison. Every day the harshness of what they are and do is broadcast around the world in the form of COPS. If I was in charge of international affairs I would have it banned as it conveys little good about the US.

i know and understand what your saying toks.

my younger brother was assaulted by 2 drunken neighbours, like gerrand they tired to use self defence, and like the gerrand case, my brother never punched or kicked them. they said they did it in self defence, and only one of them claimed to have punched him a couple of times, when infact they both kicked the out of him. they broke his jaw in 2 places, fractured his cheek bone, he had massive bruising, from the top of his head to half way down his chest. he was unconscious for hours. i took photos of him while we waited for the ambulance. it took him along time to recover, but he was never the same person again.

thou the police were very good, the court and the judge was a waste of time, the case was delayed, postponed so many times, dragged on for ages, like the gerrand case, they both got character witness to say what decent people they were. (both in their early 20s). soon as they did that, then to me, their past criminal records should be read out in court. one was charged with gbh before and the other had a record for stealing cars, driving no license tax etc.

but soon as it looked like it was going b4 the jury, one of them had pleaded not guilty all the way thru, he changed his plea at the very last minute, then both of their lawyers made pleas to the judge why they shouldn't get prison sentences.one of them had a young daughter, would lose his job . so what, he should have thought about that b4 he attacked someone

i had to sit in court and hear all this , and could not say a thing, they way things were going i thought they would get suspended sentences , but he had the pictures i took, and they were that horrific he said he had to give them a prison sentence, they got a mere 6 months, probably out in 3 months. and my brother like i said was never the same.

so i do understand if it's this difficult for a white person to get justice, i cannot even think what trying to get justice is like for non whites

and if not for the photos they probably would have got suspended sentences, and for the supporters of gerrand, you only have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time to be victim, so hope its not your wife, kids or someone else in your family, because they may never recover and don't expect justice from the courts.
