He said no. I was listening on a handheld radio with an ear piece plugged in. A fellow student was getting code from her husband on her pager. When I heard the first one I was sure I’d misheard it. I turned around and she shook her head No and made a flat horizontal line with her hand.

The professor was pretty pissed because the class basically stopped.

I’ll never forget that.

either nullifying their assessment of the evidence or they honestly didn't find the evidence to be "beyond a reasonable doubt".

In any case, remember that Simpson wasn't found INNOCENT. You can't prove innocence in a court of law.
