Which is a crock IMO. It's still double jeopardy, just by another name.Civil court like OJ.
And no, I don't think OJ is innocent. But once declared so, it should apply in all aspects.
Just my humble two cents.

She would have been acquitted for killing a minority as opposed to a white guy?We ll know this would have played out very different had the dead guy been of a different race.

That's some top notch kook conspiracy theorizing.!I just had another thought.... a scary one.
How possible is it that this D.A. who presented this case with ONLY the option of a first-degree murder conviction knew damn good and well what he was doing, and that the jury wouldn't be able to convict based on that? That they COULD convict on a lesser charge, but he chose to keep that option from them because no one really cares that this guy is dead? I mean, was he up for second-degree murder charges or not? I thought I had read that, but the article only says burglary. My thought is that he was a repeat offender ("I'm not going back to jail," he said) and the D.A.'s office doesn't give a good ******* he's dead, they work with this bail agent all the time, they have a good relationship, they help each other out all the time, and maybe the D.A. was giving her a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge," trial, knowing he had to charge her with something, but also knowing he couldn't make first-degree murder stick, so he gives the jury a case they can't convict on. She walks, he gets to say, "Hey, man, I tried, right?" and everyone goes home except the dead guy. No skin off their nose, he won't be breaking the law anymore, she's probably done as a bail bondsman, and life goes on.
Scary thought.
I haven't seen any public figures giving speeches or being outraged about this.
After watching the video, I was pretty pissed about how it went down. That was just wrong. But....by this time next week nobody will be thinking about it.
