If Johnny Cochran Was Still Here...
....he'd say, "If the batch doesn't fit, you must acquit."
Dr. Simon Davis made LNDD look bad today. Test results with missing or batch numbers out of sequence. Magnets placed where they aren't supposed to be, skewing the ion field. A manual which says to operate at 2 to 4 x 10-6 mbar, Mongongue operates it at 6 x 10-6. Pressures that vary from sample to sample. Reminds me of high school chemistry. Just mix stuff until you get the "right" result. |

Perfect analogy: O.J. and Floyd 1) Obviously guilty perp. 2) Perp's personal explanation of what "really" happened utterly absurd. 3) Perp lawyers-up with high paid suits to obfuscate the facts and the science. 4) Character assassination of witnesses. 5) Big time publicity campaign to sway credulous public opinion. 6) Partisan shills jumping on the bandwagon. This is the FACT: Anyone who NEEDS a lawyer like Johnny Cochran to "get them off" is guilty as sin, and if they get off, they'll be respected among people with brains just about as much as O.J. is now. But there are tons of morons out there who insist to this day that O.J. was innocent and the "real killers" never got caught. Dream on, people. |

This is the FACT: Anyone who NEEDS a lawyer like Johnny Cochran to "get them off" is guilty as sin, and if they get off, they'll be respected among people with brains just about as much as O.J. is now. Were that it were so. The fun part of medical lab testing is the number* of innocent people getting cleared these days by DNA evidence, in some cases springing them from jail. I'm pretty sure all those people NEEDED a lawyer like Johnny Cochran, they just didn't have one. Or the Duke lacrosse players, for a more recent example of a group of people whose lives were nearly ruined by overzealous prosecution. I should say that, while it doesn't matter a whit, I'd bet on OJ's guilt. I didn't follow the trial closely. However, post-trial interviews with some jurors suggested that they found problems with the timeline the most compelling evidence in favor of Mr. Simpson. *small relative to the number of people in prison, sure, but not a trivial number by any means. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "I don't want kids who are thinking about going into mathematics to think that they have to take drugs to succeed." -Paul Erdos |

I'm pretty sure all those people NEEDED a lawyer like Johnny Cochran, they just didn't have one.

The truly innocent accused doesn't need a lawyer like Johnny Cochran to "get them off." All they need is a minimally competent one to ascertain the facts, and sadly that is not always the case. Johnny Cochran was an expensive expert trial lawyer, whom the general public, correctly or incorrectly, trust and respect about as much as used car or insurance salesmen - or politicians. The Duke lacrosse players ran into a different problem: the truly rare case of an abuse of power by a despicable rogue prosecutor running for political office. Who, by the way, is the "real killer" and will likely lose his law license and go bankrupt from the civil suits the wrongly accused will bring against him. And rightly so. So we have two choices with Floyd: Is he just another common example of a guilty rich scum lawyering up to "get off"? Is he another rare example of a victim of a nefarious conspiracy out to "get him."? I suggest from a rational, objective point of view that the odds overwhelmingly are in favor of the first. But hope and credulity spring eternal, and the RBR partisans slant overwhelmingly toward the second. I say you all are in la la land. Even if he gets the deserved 2 year suspension, no partisan will ever be convinced. |

Who, by the way, is the "real killer" and will likely lose his law license and go bankrupt from the civil suits the wrongly accused will bring against him. And rightly so. Dick Pound, anyone? I mean, WADA have been deliberately leaking or announcing information prejudicial to Landis' case in just the same way that Nifong (prosecutor in the Duke case) is alleged to have done. In that sense, the two cases are similar. They're similar in more ways than that. Rich kids reputedly commonly do get drunk and misbehave sexually. On the face of it the Duke rape allegation was likely (I haven't read enough to form a view as to whether the accused really were innocent). Similarly, professional cyclists reputedly commonly do take performance enhancing drugs. So the public is likely to believe the accusations, particularly if the prosecutor plays to the gallery. Personally, I believe Landis is guilty; I'm not certain, but I think he is. But I am certain that Dick Pound is a lot guiltier, and one of the things he's guilty of is bringing the whole process of drug testing into disrepute. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ Iraq war: it's time for regime change... ... go now, Tony, while you can still go with dignity.

So, back to O.J.: Dick Pound, like the L.A.P.D., has framed a guilty man? Either way, Landis is guilty and professional cycling has an out of control drug problem. |
