Oj Simpson Trial Analysis
This was a rather catchy song. While I’m not typically a country music fan, this song got stuck in my hard for far longer than I care to admit. The chorus of the song sees Chris Knight repeating that he was framed for the murder of his wife’s presumed lover. I might even have believed that he was framed, except for the section where he states that the “man took his wife, he was hell bound. Even if he did shoot him down, I was framed.” He attempted to justify his actions by blaming the shooting victim and saying that he wasn’t the only one to blame for the situation that occurred. This song is a rough parallel to the OJ Simpson trial. OJ Simpson was accused of killing his wife, Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman. Prosecutors unsuccessfully

    The death of JonBenet Ramsey has been a mystery for so long. It is so weird that this little girl was found dead in the basement of their home and no one heard or saw a thing. Records say that JonBenet had a fractured skull, been molested and had been strangled with a chord. According to biography.com, the only evidence found was a ransom letter requesting $118,000 in which was written on some paper belonging to the Ramseys and the duct tape which had fibers from her mother’s clothing. When her body was found, the father should have not moved her. I do not understand why he would take her from the basement back upstairs after finding her; it just did not make any sense (biography.com).…

    On January 13th 1999, a girl named Hae Min Lee was killed and buried in Leakin Park. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted of this murder case and there are still holes and facts that don’t add up to help the situation. This case was so interesting that a podcast was made to research and try to find an answer. The woman, Sarah, made this podcast and worked on years of research but was unable to come to a final saying on whether or not Adnan was truly innocent or guilty. In my opinion, I feel there is not enough evidence to tell if he is innocent or guilty because of Jay’s story, the call records, and the Nisha call.…
