20 Years ago today.....

I was the low man at a restaurant washing/cleaning stuff and the entire restaurant stopped eating/working/talking to watch and listen.

i remember the odd low speed chase and also the day of the verdict. the verdict was announced over my high-school intercom. also i watched a Dateline on the trial this last weekend. man i forgot what a character johnnie cochran was. "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

We got to watch the verdict in debate class.

A few years later, Johnnie Cochran was a guest speaker at my college. A group of us went to see him and he happened to be going up the stairs to the room right ahead of us. I commented, in what I thought was a quiet voice, "He looks taller on TV." He later told the entire group that I had said that. He also started off by saying, "I'll get it out of the way now- if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

My middle school principal announced the verdict over the school's loudspeaker. I'm still not sure why.

This.

They had us go to the multi-purpose room during class (5th grade) to watch the verdict. On the way back to class, I commented that the DNA evidence shouldn't have been dismissed. My BFF (who was black) told me I only thought he was guilty because he was black. That was the first time I needed one of these:

FIFTH GRADE?! No wonder you look like you're super young- you are super young.

I agreed with the verdict based on mishandling of evidence. I liked logic even back then, viewing the whole thing like an if/then statement. Johnnie Cochran just helped it along those lines.

I wonder What happened to Kato Kalen? Or whatever his name was??

FIFTH GRADE?! No wonder you look like you're super young- you are super young.

I was thinking the same thing. I was in 9th grade during the trial and I remember watching the verdict on tv in English class. I don't remember following the trial very much, other than the fact that it was on every channel during that time.

 

[YMZ PE]

That only makes me 4 years younger than you.

 

[NJmike PE]

I was in tenth grade. I didn't much about the story or anything else at that thyme

 

[Dark Knight]

If you are super young that means that she is young. That is the logic behind it.

True, it's weird how 4 years back then seems like 20 years now.

 

[YMZ PE]

When I was in fifth grade, Mr. YMZ was in university and working in the oil fields.

 

[Supe]

I'm probably right around the same age as YMZ, but I look like a fat old man

FIFTH GRADE?! No wonder you look like you're super young- you are super young.

YMZ was 16 in fifth grade. She went through a rough patch after kindergarten. Don't want to go into the details, but after rehab she came back and finished elementary school. Really shows her character that she did that.

Creepy.

But a cute, fat old man.

10th grade here.

 

[csb]

I was a junior.

EDIT: Sh!t! That means my 20-year reunion is coming up. 2017- Hopefully enough time since 2007 that everyone can't remember how drunk I was at the 10-year.
