    On the way home from community college classes, heard it on my radio.

    Freshman year of high school in journalism class watching the verdict being read with everyone literally on the table tops or on the edge of their seats.

    Working on a job site, got in the van to ride up main street to listen. Heard the verdict as I was passing a TV placed on the square and the crowd gave a response of disbelief. Without a word said the DJ played James McMurtry's song "where'd you hide the body"

    During the chase, I was visiting my parents. My mom loved OJ and never did believe that he could ever do anything like that. No matter what evidence came out, she stuck to her guns that he was innocent.

    The day the verdict came in, I was carrying a load a laundry thru my living room, and the verdict came on. I dropped my basket of clothes and just stood there, frozen in shock, for some time. I didn't think I was that vested in the trial, but apparently I must have been. At 30, that was probably my first reality check that the justice system was not perfect.

    While I don't remember what I was doing or where I was when the verdict was announced, I do remember watching the "car chase" on TV. I was 6. I had no idea what it meant or what was going on, but I do remember sitting in my living room watching that (or playing with toys while pretending I wasn't paying attention to the TV).

    Two people were murdered in cold blood and their killer got set free. I was disgusted. I was at work and I heard people cheering and clapping. Gross. What has happened to humanity that some would celebrate this verdict?

    I realized that after I sent it. Then hoped someone would see the humor there.
