EOC Week Two

Our whole system of justice is corrupt. Prime example is the OJ trials. Yah, he is serving time now but not from the OJ trials back in 1990’s. Do you know how much he got out of that? $33.5 million, what kind of a message is that going to send? Was it fair? Was justice severed under the law?

Ever heard of Charlie Crews? I am not talking about the fictional guy off of Life the TV series. I am talking about the real Crews, and yes Life the TV series is based off of his story. Charlie Crews was a former LA police officer who was convicted, and served 12 years in prison for crimes he did not commit. He was exonerated of all charges, and surprising enough went back to work in the police force.
