On your side, certainly.
It's not me you have to tell that to!
If that isn't the perfect illustration of how far apart we are. I happen to think that considering the efforts ot Team R and the hamstringing by their own side, LE did a superb job.
Roy, I don't know what your politics are, and quite frankly it's not important, but there's an article from National Review I think you should read. It was written just a week before 9/11, and in that regard seems a bit precognizant of it. But its main thrust is the idea that a case like this was bound to happen because of the way the courts have screwed up the legal system. I'll find it for you, if I can.
Just to get off subject briefly, I've often wondered what would have happened if the Rs had been taken to trial. To be perfectly honest, I believe that the trial would not have gone to a jury. Either PR would have died during the trial (and please, PLEASE do not take that the wrong way; it's not just me who thought that), or more likely there would have been a plea bargain. That was the DA's bailiwick. But whether the DA brought it or the Rs asked for one is, to me, irrelevant, since the result would be the same.
