What difference does it make? "remembered anything worthwhile." "End of story."
jaymatt, What difference does it make?
That initially came across as a pretty negative attitude IMHO, but then I studied what you went on to say.
I agree with what you say, until you get to "End of story."
I look back at all these times in my life with great pleasure. They were all good times in my life. And then think about the significance of the events.
JFK- Grade school -they rolled TV's into the rooms and we just watched the news for the rest of the day.
OJ-At work in the main cafeatirea, Boeing, Wichita.
In a very large room full of people, ("Boeing TV" on every TV in the room) no one said a word, for the longest time! When they did start talking, I had to leave to work at another building.
9/11- Good days, living with my new girlfriend in KC MO.
She called home from work and told me to turn on the TV. I was between jobs at the time.
John Lennon- College daze.
This marked a very sad day, for a close friend that was a BIG fan. He had got to see them live, in KC MO (I think).
"End of story?" The story's REALLY got started 'after' these events in history.
Thanks for the memories. Marion

No, I am not. My understanding of the term "jury nullification" is NOT one in which the Judge necessarily nullifies the verdict of a jury. Although I could be wrong, I thought that the evidence presented was sufficiently convincing that OJ was guilty of murder. If you're a legal buff and know a lot about this case, please feel free to set me straight.

But assuming for the moment that I am correct (and the verdict delivered to him in the subsequent civil trial would support that,) true jury nullification means finding a verdict in spite of sufficient facts to the contrary. I am under the impression that the verdict of OJ's criminal trial is widely considered to be an example of jury nullification. No, I don't have any prepared sources to cite.

People of our generation (born in the 40-50's) most all remember where they were when Kennedy was assassinated.. If one asks of those born in their late 60's or 70's 'their answer will be" I remember where I was when the Challenger was destroyed". Those born in the 1920-30's will most often say they remember when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Most to these people have passed on. Each generation a tragedy occurs most remember where they were the day it occurred. I was in class waiting to take a physics test when Kennedy was assassinated. .. There were only four students in the classroom. One student was fortunate enough to have a transistor radio. We were near one of the windows for better reception. I remember being asked by the commentator to take a moment of prayer. We all held hands kneeled and did so. When the instructor came in he had tears in his eyes. This was a final test for the quarter. He told us to take the test, but he doubted very much if he would grade them. We don't forget such events. My mother told me she was in the bedroom ironing when she heard Pearl had been attacked.
