You probably don't remember that he was very well liked and highly respected before June of '95 ... the vast majority initially thought him innocent and were convinced of his guilt by evidence in the trial ...

I was one of those who didn't believe he was guilty ... but changed my mind on the day of the first preliminary hearing by what was said by the first two witnesses ... it's far too long a story to tell here, but what convinced me was something that was never even mentioned in the trial ... the DA's office really bungled that case ... in more ways than you can imagine ...

Here's one of those ways - "if it don't fit, you must acquit" ... that's what they said after he couldn't get the glove on readily ... many skeptics thought he was play acting ... not so ... take a leather glove that fits you ... put on one of those 'doctor gloves' like they made him wear before touching the leather glove ... then try putting your leather glove on ... the DAs were FOOLS to have done that without trying it themselves ... they GAVE him that way out ... and a basic rule for attorneys is to NEVER ask a question you don't know the answer to ... or, in this case, to try putting one glove on over another ...

remind me to tell you the story of why I too believe him guilty .... it's FAR more persuasive than anything brought out at trial ... but, it'll have to be a time when I have a lot more time to write it all out
