That lil nikka is on the kiddie c00n train :francis:


:rudy:

Essentially this kid is right on the money & there's nothing c00nish about what he said. O.J did technically "pay" for his freedom by assembling probably one of best legal teams in history & this is no different than what wealthy/rich Cacs do all the time to gain an advantage or favorable outcomes in federal criminal cases.



Meter's Ticking for Costly Simpson Defense

LOS ANGELES, July 30 —
"How much will O. J. Simpson have to pay for his ever-expanding defense team of lawyers, investigators and experts? Many outside lawyers answer with a question of their own: How much money does he have?

"A defense like this will cost your net worth -- whatever it is, they'll take it," said John Shepard Wiley, a professor of law at the University of California at Los Angeles. "I'm just staggered at the number of lawyers and scientists and investigators that are being daily added to the team."

One high-end guess came from Robert A. Pugsley, a criminal-law professor at Southwestern University Law School in Los Angeles, who said, "When you add in everything -- the investigators, all the lawyers, the pathologists, the experts, the transportation and travel, the whole kit and caboodle -- I think a first trial lasting through the end of this calendar year could come to about $5 million."

Unusual Costs in Unusual Case

As the Simpson case unfolds on live television, it is providing a nationwide seminar on the workings of a murder trial. But legal experts caution that most felony defendants are poor and that the trial of a typical defendant, with far less than $5 million to spend, would look very different.

Most people accused of murder could not afford even one of Mr. Simpson's lawyers. In general, such defendants are represented by public defenders or court-appointed lawyers, who put in an average of just 500 to 750 hours on a case, said Robert Spangenberg, who heads the Spangenberg Group, a private criminal-justice research group.


"The average hourly fee for court-appointed lawyers around the country in death-penalty cases is $50 an hour, and there are severe restrictions in some states like Alabama, where the maximum fee is set by statute at $1,000," he said."
