Sorry to go OT so early but I had to take my wife to the ER last night (she’s ok, thank goodness).

While we were in the waiting room the TV was on CNN who was airing a 20th Anniversary O.J. Simpson special focusing mainly on the infamous car chase.

I was only 12 years old when that went down and have only vague memories of watching it on TV.

One thing I do remember though, is watching the verdict. I got to go to a brand spanking new middle school for grade 8 which was quite high tech for its time. It was in fact, the first school I ever attended that actually had a computer lab.

One thing it also had was a TV in every classroom with an active cable connection. The day the verdict was to be handed down, myself and a couple of other students begged our teacher to let us watch it in the room. She actually let us do this and I still remember watching the verdict live and feeling much as I do now, in the sense that I am not surprised he was acquitted but I still think he did it.
