The System Works. It would work better if the press coverage dies quickly.

TimesDispatch.com | AP News. Jackson is acquitted by a jury. His innocence or guilt may be debated for sometime, but the prosecution failed to make a case that convinced the jury.

Our legal system may, or may not, let someone who is guilty go free. It is up to the prosecution to make a compelling case. Failing that, the accused should walk. For all the gripes about the OJ trial, this is exactly what happened, the prosecution failed to make a convincing case.

Now, let's hope that the media gets off the Jackson case and finds some real news.

Personally, I have no use for Jackson and think he is not a very nice person. However, I'm not allowed to make life or death decisions based on my personal likes or dislikes.
