Since this is the last day of 2007, I thought to reflect on the year in court. The year started with Anna Nicole Smith dead and the fight over her body and her baby - not to mention the inquiries into her death and that of her son, Daniel. We had Phil Spector, an eccentric billionaire record mogul, on trial for murder and the Las Vegas sports memorabilia heist allegedly led by former Heisman winner O.J. Simpson. ![]() Cynthia Sommer, a Marine widow, enhanced her appearance after her husband's death, thereby enhancing her chance for conviction. (She was.) NFL Star Michael Vick went down for illegal dogfighting. We had Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, convicted as an accomplice to rape and a hung jury in the trial of a man named Orange. A grown man named Scooter went down for lying about leaking. Here's the good news for 2008: Crime is the gift that keeps on giving. The Phil Spector and OrangeTaylor cases will be retried this year. Cynthia Sommer also gets a new trial. Michael Vick still faces charges in state court. And O.J. hasn't even begun to fight. While Court TV becomes Tru TV in primetime, never fear. Court TV news will be In Session. I hope to see you right here in 2008. – Jami Floyd Filed under: Jami Floyd O.J. Simpson |
