    The "prosecutor" in the trial of the four officers who beat Rodney King… It made me sick to my stomach to hear him say those words on television "we thought we had enough for a conviction but the jury disagreed"

    B****please!

    He allowed a change of venue, from the downtown LA court where people of the community would sit on a jury, all the way up to Simi valley where the jury pool would be made up of retired cops, the wives of dead cops, and active Judy police officers. One of those jurors, a female, was Ash point blank if she had any problem with the police referring to Rodney King and the people of Sylmar as "gorillas"–which was a reference to the text messages set between officers that night, in which they called the people of sylmar "gorillas in the mist" Remember this is a juror: "I have no problem with that".

    And all the white folks were just so happy with the verdict.

    Another entry in WatchMojo's campaign of rage against the Prosecutors who let Homolka get a light sentence. So when are you going to direct that fury properly and support a campaign to stop it happening again or back some other justice cause rather than having the same presenter complain about the same really bad decision and evil person for the umpteenth time?

    You didn't mention it but the Port Arthur massacre led to much needed gun control and reform in Australia. Haven't had a mass shooting since, America, take notes.

    No one in the Ramsey family killed JonBenet. The handwriting matches a homeless man who got mail at a church just down the street. He confessed olin a call to a former classmate the next day. Leave that family alone.🤬

    I have a difficult time believing Jon Benet wasn't murdered by someone close to that family if not someone who lived in that house, too much doesn't add up to justify it being a stranger. Moreover the cops botched the investigation for the word jump so bad it can never be solved even with a legitimate confession.

    The Nancy Kerrigan situation never sat right with me… a LARGE man strikes her on the knee with a heavy metal baton, and the damage was so minimal that she was able to skate in the Olympics months later? Yes, it's possible to overcome serious injury and perform well (see Silken Laumann coming back from a broken leg), but if you watch the footage, you can see Nancy look right into the camera (included here at 16:33).
    That she then won silver, despite clearly skating an inferior program to athletes given worse scores, heightened the suspect nature.

    The FBI had a hard time in the 90s with Richard Jewell, the Ruby Ridge incident, Waco, The *Unabomber and the WTC '93 attack.

    FBI caught him but it was his own brother who led them to him. They spent a lot of money and man hours over 16 years to chase leads that weren't that meaningful or real.

    Who the hell doesn't believe at least some of those men were abusive to Wuornos? I've done sex work, and like Aileen, I wasn't a high class hooker. Clean almost 2 decades now. But crack is whack, and I always believed Aileen. Humans are the most disgusting and dangerous creatures of all.

    So the west Memphis 3- a queer woman named Mara Leveritt wrote a book that helped get them attention an exonerate them. She was a key part of proving their innocence.

    On the Bobbit , IF all of the accusations WERE true , I used to tell my husband that if I were to find out that he had cheated on me with someone I would do a Lorain Bobbit on his ass only they wouldn’t find it .😅

    It was a crying shame all of the victims and their families , but you stated that Phil Hartman ( (one of those rare comics that made the world laugh ) and that his wife had anger issues , you think ? , no shit .
