Title: Not Guilty!
Description: Text of a lecture to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Robert C. Wood III discusses the controversial O.J. Simpson verdict, highlighting the deep racial and societal divisions it exposed. He examines the jury's decision through the lenses of police conduct, the adversarial justice system, and the influence of race and wealth. Wood challenges the audience to consider broader issues of truth, justice, and systemic biases, ultimately questioning the role of jury nullification and the implications of the trial on American society.
