RE: OJ-- Lizzie Borden was acquitted too, in spite of pretty strong evidence-- she had a habit of shoplifting, and recently stolen a ax, she was the only persons home at the time, "she heard nothing", etc.) but the she sat there in soft white dresses, looking demure. None of the jurors (middle class white men) could believe this middle class women could commit such a heinous crime.

She was of course found guilty by the public...
Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her father 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done, gave her mother 41!
