[TowerTalk] A Sad Precedent

[Alan D. Gray]

As I read the case, the juror awarded damages for a lot more than the
reduction in the homeowner's property value.  Invasion of privacy,
attorney's fees, etc.

No, the jurors said that the State of Califronia failed to prove its case;
they didn't say OJ was not guilty.  The State screwed up the outcome, not
the jury.

Alan, W3BV
