Judge Glass vs. Yale Galanter

Those who watched this trial would agree with me that Mr. Simpson's lawyer of many years, Yale Galanter, did a marvelous job in fighting for the life of his client. Mr. Galanter is the kind of lawyer that is not afraid of challenging the state (judge) when it comes to inconsistencies in the application of certain lawyers inside the court room. He raised his voice when he felt that something is not right; when objecting the DA's remarks or when he stressed a point to the States witnesses. A classic example of how Galanter handled the issue was when he did his cross-examination of one of the alleged gunmen. He walked straight up to his face and when the witnessed demanded he moved away from him, he said that he was going to stand right beside him jas as the state prosecutors did . There were instances when the Judge reprimanded Mr. Galanter in the strongest terms and told him to sit down.
But Mr. Galanters impressive performance came from cross-examining the state witnesses. He plucked their nerves, tore down their confidence, and exposed their inconsistencies, lies. But even his good performance in court, his grueling examination of witnesses, he failed to save the life of his client.
The Jury
After the trial I watched the Jury being questioned of by journalists who were mostly Lawyers over the technicality, the legality, and the public perception of how they performed during the deliberation. Astoundingly, all of them said they weren't think of the 1995 trail that set O.J.Simpson's free in a crime scene many believed he created. Unless they were thinking in a vacuum, and unless they weren't American in 2005, the issue or the 1995 would be have been impossible to penetrate their mind frames.
One of the jurors got the microphone and spoke, with the endorsement of her fellow Jurors, about the importance of our the audio tapes. They said that they convicted Simpson because of the tapes. But it is absolutely impossible to imagine that the tapes that lacked a single mention of "guns" or "arms" helped convicted Simpson. Even if he sound as the commander in the room on the night of the event, it is quite impossible to fathom the fact that those who claimed to have guns walked free on the grace/ mercy of the state.

But the most compelling statement he made was that "Simpson" obviously didn't know there were guns in the room and went on to blame the others from orchastrated the tension. Mr. Riccio is currently being sued by Mr. Beardsley who believed that the whole crisis was set up by Mr. Riccio to make money.
However, the arguments will go on and on, but the audio tape that recorded the Police officers who discussed the issue sealed the fate of Simpson. In this audio, the Police Officers said to each other "Will get him!"
