"To Evict Or Not to Evict" & the OJ Simpson TrialPosted by Woodard Brandt on February 3rd, 2021 "If the glove doesn't fit, you should acquit." (Johnnie Cochran- OJ's lawyer) "If the tenant doesn't submit (payment), you must evict?" (Anxious Landlords) From a drama perspective, OJ Simpson's (first) trial was great theater. It were built with a thrilling beginning (who could ignore the white Bronco chase about the interstate?) plus it immediately captured the nation's attention. The story was televised 24-hours per day and reporters energetically followed every lead and generated a huge selection of side stories (the "Dancing Ito's" anyone?). The public was excited, therefore the trial got past its first week (which turned out to be the 1st of around 60 weeks). Whew! The a huge selection of events of your trial were equally tedious. The evidence was presented in more detail as well as the jurors were tired. The lawyers knew whoever could boil around the never ending hours of testimony into something mentally palpable towards the jury would win. Marcia Clark, the DA, experimented with make large preponderance of evidence against OJ and appeal to each juror's wise practice; unfortunately, this is a whole lot for the jury to process as OJ's lawyers poked holes in the validity of some of the evidence, creating a lot more confusion. On the other hand, Johnnie Cochran (having a grand visual presentation), boiled the decision of OJ's guilt or innocence down to one statement: "If the glove doesn't fit, you need to acquit." Above the din, the jurors finally had something simple which they could cling to; this easy statement helped them cut with the cacophony in the trial and make the last decision of "Guilty" or "Not Guilty". And on 10/3/95, the Juice was loose. When tenants do not, there is certainly usually a good deal of drama. "I'll possess a payment visiting you in a few days now", "I have a whole lot of family issues", and "I thought you said you needed it next Tuesday." Countless calls and e-mails are supposed to attract you socially, emotionally, and mentally; it really is tough not to sympathize (or empathize)! This type of interaction (some refer to it as "gaming") has one purpose- to convince you to never evict. Much like the OJ trial with all of the drama and grandstanding, you sometimes require a simple statement to help you guide your selection. Fortunately, there is one. This statement, with style points coming courtesy of the late Johnnie Cochran: "If they just don't submit (FULL payment), you have to evict". Get More Information !Like it? Share it!
