The world keeps spinning faster and faster, and like a little kid on one of those park-spinning wheels, I'm getting closer and closer to being thrown completely off. [Reply]
Watching the OJ documentary, two things must haunt Garcetti to this day:
Choosing downtown as the venue, and allowing eight black women on the jury. Listening to two of the jurors' comments, there was zero chance they were ever going to arrive at a guilty verdict. The mental gymnastics they were performing were astounding. [Reply]

If I was on that jury we'd still be sitting there or it's be a mistrial. I still can't get over the fact that these people were sequester for almost a year. That's insane when you think about it. And you can't quit per se. I mean you could do things to get thrown out, but that might be a heavy price to pay and that's saying something. [Reply]

I think jury pay is unreasonable. In Colorado it's $50 a day, so if you're there eight hours it's $6.25 an hour, which is about 1/3 of minimum wage. I understand civic responsibility, but people have to eat. And why is the government allowed to pay less than the minimum wage that everyone else has to abide by?
It should be minimum wage as a worst-case policy, and I would argue that it should be the median wage of the state. [Reply]

He cared more about his re-election prospects than ever getting a guilty verdict in the OJ case... [Reply]
