D. Graham Burnette gave fantastic insight into the logistics and feelings of a jury sentencing in his article‚ Anatomy of a Verdict. Throughout the article he explained just how hard it can be for a jury to sentence someone for a large crime.

OJ Simpson was tried for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson (his ex-wife) and her friend‚ Ron Goldman. Surprisingly‚ the twelve jurors found OJ Simpson not guilty in spite of a lengthy and highly publicized trial. I believe the jury’s not guilty verdict was a result of many reasons.
