I gotta say, I was convinced he was guilty as sin, but I don't think the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was. In good conscience, I'd have voted not guilty as well.

Agreed. And Furman was no prize either. In the end, Kato Kaelin may have been the smartest guy in the room. Also - Without this trial, the Kardashians arguably never would have become a thing.

I was wondering why he felt so comfortable sitting there and strongly hinting that the younger brother is ghey and the older brother is homophobic. Anyway, I still hope Adam cans Gargle-os and gets Alan Dershowitz to co-host. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only facts that are relevant right now are 1. He claims to have had a hate crime committed against him. 2.
