Had to be one of the most bizarre episodes in the life of a sport icon...
not a rhetorical question, but how does someone not convicted for murder in a criminal case, but then gets convicted for "wrongful death" in a civil case?
Definitely a jury of his "peers".Step one is to have a jury that isn’t looking for payback from Rodney King.
The jurors knew he did it but didn’t give a damn. This was a middle finger to the LAPD for the Rodney king trial.

Understood.... Wouldn't the burden of proof also be applicable in the criminal case?Burden of proof.
the burden is much higher in the criminal case. Not sure if you’re getting at something else? Trust me, it’s a travesty he was acquitted in the criminal case. It’s hard to imagine a more open and shut case. Clearly the race card won out with a jury that I think was overwhelmingly black.Understood....
