10 of the 12 OJ Simpson jurors have admitted their verdicts were payback for Rodney King. This, despite judge Lance Ito’s stern warning to follow the law and judge the case only according to the facts. This is called Jury Nullification, when somebody clearly breaks the law, but jurors feel the law is either unjust or being unjustly applied. This is the reason Simpson never did time for the double murders.
Workman, South El Monte, Whittier and Bell Gardens will be throwing this Thursday at Bell Gardens. Starts at 5pm.
