I didn't do it he said, as he held up his hands. I was only robbing the registry, I hope you understand...

Fascinating, This article is about O.J. Simpson. Apparently the police raided his house in 2001 and found that he had been tapping cable-tv illegally. He now has to pay the cable-company 25.000 dollars. O.K. so far so good, nothing weird. But if you take a few excepts the story looks different :

Quote 1 :

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said Tuesday that the judge "basically denied us our right to a jury trial. ... This was a decision made by a judge in chambers. They say he did it; we say he didn't. A jury should be able to make that decision."


--> So they don't agree and want to take it to court. I can live with that. But then there's this :

Quote 2 :

'DirecTV executives were pleased with the ruling.

"The evidence was overwhelming since the devices seized in Simpson's home were connected to his TV and in operation and receiving unauthorized signals at the time of the raid," said Dan Fawcett, an executive vice president with El Segundo, Calif.-based DirecTV Inc."'




Oh, and the subjectline comes from Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" of course.
