Eh, I'm not really sure how it's disgusting. It's being televised, do you find that disgusting?
Maybe because it's in South Africa, so it really doesn't apply to us, I can see the point. But I have no issue with public trials.
And btw, his defense is insanely ridiculous. If his version of events is 100% accurate, he should still spend the rest of his life in prison.
You are correct. Because when people break into a home the first thing they always do is go to the bathroom to take a leak. Still baffles my mind how he can wake up and not notice his smoking hot girlfriend is not in bed with him, hear a noise in the crapper, assume that is an intruder and not his girlfriend, and then shoot through the door without even asking, "Honey, did the Kung Pow platter not agree with you?".Quote:

Obviously he didn't know she was in bed and it wasn't her because it was. So best-case scenario, he's a lunatic who starts shooting through closed doors without being 100% sure it isn't his girlfriend he's shooting. Ok, so he's afraid because of his legs...at least wait until you know who's there before you start blindly shooting. Or go put your legs on and make sure it isn't your girlfriend first.
That's how things are watched. Why do you have a problem with watching a trial on your phone but not on your tv?Quote:

This right here is all I had to hear from him to know he was full of shit. He claimed he yelled a couple of times at her. I don't know of one person that if yelled at in the middle of the night numerous times wouldn't respond. At least with a "Shut the hell up, I'm trying to take a piss!" or something.
It's ****ed up that people are using a convenient method of consuming information? That actually makes perfect sense.Quote:

You don't think if the OJ trail was going on in todays world of technology it wouldn't be on every mobile device also?Quote:

Sounds like you have a problem with society and technology and instant gratification.
Ding Ding Ding. In today's world of technology of everything connected their isn't much difference. they are watching the same thing on their phone you could be watching on tv.Quote:

There is no difference.
and oh btw. Some new phones allow you to multitask.
Eh maybe some people find trials fascinating. Idk whatever. Sorry to have offended anyone on this. I just found it odd that a murder trial is being offered on ESPN3 next to College baseball and Women's softball.Quote:

Oh and the software industry that supplied the interface between the device and the media content.
Yeah, what a waste. Millions of employees. Billions, maybe trillions, in economic activity.
I'm just sayin.
