Can We Stop Talking about Scott and Laci Now

Finally, finally, the Scott Peterson trial is over. And they found him guilty. I’ve gotten so weary of hearing about this. When it comes on, I change channels. Just can’t stand the guy, and can’t stand the case. Way too much hype.

We’ve had a lot of potential “trials of the century,” but none can beat the OJ Simpson trial. Bill Clinton (impeachment hearings), Martha Stewart, Kobe Bryant, various other--none can really compare with OJ. Interestingly, it’s been ages since I’ve heard anyone--black or white--argue that OJ was innocent. It’s like the whole world realizes he did it, and got away with it. And he did.

The Michael Jackson case could be interesting, if it ever comes to trial. And it looks like it probably will, perhaps even in my lifetime. That could, potentially, unseat OJ, because Michael is a bona fide international celebrity.

And still ahead: Robert Blake (nobody will really care, I suspect), and Saddam Hussein (that’ll be interesting).
