Great book and series, I just hope Caro lives long enough to finish it. He'll be 89 at the end of the month, and makes George RR Martin look fast-paced; Martin at least has churned out five ASOIAF books in 33 years. Caro has been working on The Years of Lyndon Johnson for 50 years now, and has written four books, the most recent one coming out 12 years ago.

Was someone talking about O.J and believing he was innocent and the jury concluded that based on evidence?

Yes, that was me. See above.

Moreover as another Canadian I'm appalled that your first examples of the miscarriage of justice don't include the cases of David Milgaard and Guy Paul Morin. It's their cases among others that should give us nightmares. And no, those "other" cases don't include that of O.J. Simpson.

I hope you're going to be OK?

And, are we not talking about O.J. here, or should I have brought up all such cases from centuries of litigation?

I'm strong, healthy and snarly, i.e. a classic curmudgeon. And hoping to stay that way for many more years!

Incidentally, are you a big time CFL fan and collector? Or are you merely an American sycophant?

This thread is actually about Lebron James. For whatever arcane reason, another poster inserted O.J. Simpson into the discussion.

Bringing up a few 21st century miscarriages of justice from our home jurisdiction would have been enough.
