OJ.iwt Innocent
The verdict of the century is in —
O.J. The Great, is innocent... or is
that not guilty?
It’s funny. Everywhere I look, that
is the verdict I see — O.J. found
innocent by a jury of his peers.
No, I don’t think so.
O.J. is NOT innocent; he was found
NOT GUILTY.
A not guilty verdict does not equal
innocence.
It is ironic how our judicial system
works on this play on words. You are
innocent until proven guilty. But, in
a court of law, you are not found
innocent — you are found not guilty.
O.J. was found not guilty due to
the prosecution not being able to
present sufficient evidence in the case.
O.J. IS guilty.
He committed many crimes: wife
abuse, fleeing (referring to the white
bronco), being able to provide a more
than adequate defense, and being
married to white Woman. Oh the
crimes!
But who among you can be the
first to throw the stone? Not me... I’m
guilty too... Guilty in believing that
justice has been served; whether we
agree with the verdict or not.

4).
Karl, what color is YOUR world?
In your column you claim the GOP is
“running away from... moral mat
ters” and instead is “focused on free
trade and economics.”
Karl, Karl... someone shake Karl!
Thanks.
Karl, the GOP has always been
focused on free trade and economics,
using moral matters as a straw don
key to torch when liberty gets in the
way of industry.
You say we need to return to the
old days when Republican tradition
alists “believed our problems stem,
not from lack of goods, but a poverty
of soul.” How old are you, twenty?
Karl, take my advice and stop skip
ping Political History.

Women’s Center “raining” on the
Nebraska/Washington State football
spirit.
The Daily Nebraskan indicated
that these women were wearing white
to support women victimized by foot
ball players. ALL football players?
How unfair to the team! Have all the
victimization incidents at UNL been
done by football players?
I think not.

Word choice
criticized
The Daily Nebraskan should be
ashamed of itself. Jason Racey wrote
a letter about the threat of the country
being controlled by conservative
Christians.
While I do not share his view of
the situation, I thought he expressed
himself clearly and thoughtfully. He
never sank to the level of name call
ing.
Above this thoughtful letter, how
ever, was the heading, “Christian
Reich.”
Now, Mr. Racey never called con
servative Christians a bunch of Na
zis. So why would the Daily Nebras
kan use such a slanderous and pejora
tive heading and in the process,
grossly mischaracterize his letter?
And what basis does the Daily
Nebraskan have for suggesting that
there is any comparison to be drawn
between American citizens who hap
pen to be conservative Christians
exercising their political rights and
one of the most heinous and geno
cidal governments ever to rise to
power?
