The battery
of trials
of this century
are upon
us,
just as
we are
reminded
of the last
trial
of the century
(of the last
century).
The guy
got away
with murder,
after repeatedly
battering
his
by then
ex wife.
A generation
has passed
since that
fiasco,
that exposed
problematic
policing,
racism,
celebrity,
privilege,
wealth,
and,
oh yeah,
what happens
to women
all the time.
Nicole Brown
Simpson
has been
all
but forgotten
upon the death
of her batterer
and murderer.
In the 30 years
between
trials
of the centuries,
women
are worse
off.
Women’s lives
are not
prioritized.
Any juror
with an agenda
can upend a
conviction.
The best
prediction
may not
detect
the one
to reject
the facts
in lieu
of that
which attracts
support
for the guilty
one.
Battery
doesn’t die
when
the big lie
persists,
which requires
assistance
and insistence
on innocence
and no
remorse.
What died
with OJ
yesterday?
It seems
as though
a battery
of issues
have been
recharged.
