    I still see Clinton bashed on much of his work as I do him being propped up. I hear them bring up the scandal.

    The only part thing I see in favor of Clinton that never seems to be followed with negativity is his alleged fiscal responsibility.

    I see very little negative about Ray. In fact, I only see positive things about Ray. Until it recently was brought up, nobody ever talks about Ray's involvement in the murder.

    Very different stories, in the grand scheme of things, though.

    There was no way those bastards would ever get off. No DA could have ever blown that.

    I beg to differ.

    Wait a minute, those two guys stabbed two people to death in front of many people; yet they were aquitted?

    This is interesting to me. Are you of the opinion that criminals cannot be rehabilitated? Or more specifically, certain types of criminals?

    Nobody likes this gem? I thought this was great. Combining two current threads into one response. I give myself props for this.

    Yep, happens sometimes.

    But really, though. I mean, did you FOLLOW the Menendez case? There was no way those guys would get off. The evidence on that case was so dialed in. I followed the trial, but I was fairly yound. Then, I did a major case study on this in college. There was no way those kids would walk.

    Or hitting close to home. How many mistakes have we made in our lifetime? How many times have we learned from these mistakes? So now if we make mistakes, we should just always be assumed to be accountable for these mistakes forever?

    I 100% agree and I followed it too. I'm just stating that the system does work; even if the defendent has tons of money.

    You stated Lewis was aquitted. He wasn't.

    Just say "no" to drugs.

    It's easy to be born-again when you just dodged a major bullet, like Ray did. I think Ray got away with something big, and he didn't have to suffer the consequences. I'd like to think if I somehow got that lucky, I'd be a born-again. I'd like to think that I sincerely had a desire to be born-again, if I'd have committed a serious crime. And I hope Ray is sincere about his growth and changes that he has made - but that doesn't mean he should be revered in the media, either; at least not without opening up and talking about his mistakes. That's part of my problem with Ray. He made the incident disappear. He never really has acknowledged anything. And he's played up this born-again thing like it's all part of his having always been this great person.

    Maybe OJ should have gone this route.

    No, people can be rehabilitated, but I've never seen anything out of Ray Lewis that would lead me to believe that he has been. The only reason I can think that people have forgiven/ignored his past is his overtly religious tone. Even his delivery is just like a sermon. I just don't buy it cause whenever he speaks (other than just shouting that god is good) he just spouts nonsense.

    From the evidence known, I would agree. But being "involved" can be just as damming. Sort of like driving the getaway ca for a bank robbery. The driver still has a guilty part in it all.

    Well OJ is in prison shortly after he got away with murder. Lewis hasn't had any criminal issues since that part of his life. I guess Lewis is rehabilitated then; since nothing has happened for 13 years.
