Also, the content and especially the language might mean they don't want to show it any earlier.

Which kind of dovetails into this from StarWipe, The Onion's parody of TMZ, People, and the like.
Knife Found at OJ's Estate May Finally Bring Closure to TV Show.

There is no statute of limitations on murder. If by some crazy miracle the knife somehow shows that someone other than OJ did it, then that person can be tried. OJ of course cannot due to double jeopardy.
Not on murder, no, but even if OJ could be tried for something like assault, 20 years is probably too long.

I wonder what the surviving members of teams of lawyers are thinking right now?
I am sure the surviving members of the defense are probably well-aware that OJ was guilty.
As for Clark and Darden, I'm sure they'll be on TV tonight to talk about it.

He's probably way outside of the statute of limitations at this point.

Harvey Levin may be a loathsome cockroach, but I will say this for TMZ: he makes his staff act like actual journalists. Also, consider the Ray Rice situation.
Interestingly, there was a profile of him in (of all places) the New Yorker a few weeks ago which mentioned that back during the trial, he was a legal correspondent for one of the local LA stations and thought he'd hit a big scoop when he noticed the timestamp on police video of Clark serving the search warrant on Rockingham that was seemingly before the warrant had been issued. It turned out the timestamp was from twelve hours later when tape was logged as evidence. He had to make an apology and it's probably a big reason why TMZ tries to operate as above board as a sleazy tabloid website can operate.

Nothing. He's been tried and acquitted, so double jeopardy applies. He's been sued and found civilly culpable. There's nothing else they can do except not parole him on his current sentence.

I think chain of custody only applies from the time the police are notified of the evidence's existence.
But either way it doesn't matter, except for potentially finally settling the issue if there are people still out there who think he's innocent.

I don't know if they're intending to do this, but part of me wonders if there's not also some commentary on sex ed bound up in this. Even in the most benign (and by that I mean least bad) interpretation of the rape, Eric is guilty of not understanding how consent works. John Oliver did a long piece about it recently, and I keep being reminded of it.

It might be different if I was going with my husband, but that would require a lot of begging.
-
If that sounds like a recipe for a hodgepodge, it's not, as it turns out -- this is terrific stuff.
Part of the reason for that might be the change in the movie's focus from the cynical fox to the good-hearted bunny. Presumably it required a lot of reworking.
I'd love to see it, but being a man in my late 30s with no children, I can only imagine how creepy I would look.

Couldn't the defense have called Furman if the prosecution decided not to?
Yes. And they probably would have been able to treat him as a hostile witness, which would have been even more damaging than the defense giving him an aggressive cross-examination.

I'm fairly cold-blooded when it comes to gore, but I couldn't look at the scene after Rose stabbed herself. I literally whipped off my glasses so I didn't have to see it.

No, and for very good reason.
This potentially jettisons a lot of what I didn't like about the first season (since we know Ben is in a coma), and keeps the things I do. Even if the only thing it has going for it is no Ben, that's automatically an improvement.

How many times has Robert been on the bottom? How many times has Anna?
I think we're headed for a Rob/Yvonne/Mel final three. It's really hard, because I'd like to root for both Rob and Yvonne.
I didn't love Mel's makeup tonight, but I did think she did one thing right (well, two things with the beauty makeup). Megan is so often "cute" when she goes out on stage, it seemed like a real revelation to have her go out as a badass.

Bill Donohue isn't "of" the Catholic League. He is the entirety of the Catholic League. He's like a YouTube commenter that somehow gets to be on TV now and then.
The thing is, I wasn't planning on watching this show, but once he did that, I decided I would just to spite him.

Who was the guy talking to Taylor in the opening scene? I don't remember seeing him before.
Wasn't that the therapist guy? The one who gave him the notebook?
-
I have to admit, that does bother me. I don't understand why they have to be regressive on that particular plot point.
However, the cast is very funny (and Kristen Wiig is also there), and the ghosts look fantastic.

I saw some comments that she made where she talked about thinking the presentation was fair, and fell all over herself complimenting Sarah Paulson.

From the jury selection, to not listening to Darden, to putting MF on the stand...she is creating a perfect storm for Cochrane. I know we are supposed to sympathize, but there is also a touch of arrogance in her decisions.
I remember Clark going on something like 60 Minutes or 20/20 with Darden at some point and saying that if the prosecution hadn't called Fuhrman, the defense would have and that would have looked even worse. And frankly I think she was probably right.

I think it depends on your definition of "satisfying" is. If you want all of the i's dotted and t's crossed, we're unlikely to get that. Because life doesn't usually do that.
God, I kind of hate that this episode made me turn on characters. I mean, I was expecting Michael to be an asshole, but I was so glad Terri finally acted like a decent human being. But what just hit me square in the chest was Coach's Wife. Lady, I get that you want to protect your daughter, but threatening to make her perjure herself reserves a special level of Hell for you.
I kind of wanted to throw up when Eric was confronting his mother.
I have to wonder how viewers' sympathies would run if Taylor and Eric weren't cute, not just vulnerable.
I think that's in a certain way the point. No one wants to think that a good-looking kid who seems to have a lot going for him could do something so awful. And I think that's the issue. Eric did something monstrous, but I don't think he actual is a monster. Taylor, the victim, lied repeatedly and and, justified or as a result of diminished capacity or not, killed a boy. It's just mixed up and human and awful.

All Episodes Talk: 48 Hours
in 48 Hours
Peter van Sant's reports always bore me. I can't think about a case he's covered that's really held my interest all the way through.
