September 25, 2008 Bible, or notPosted: 03:26 PM ET
NEW YORK - Walter Alexander not only put his hand on the Bible before he took the stand, he brought his own Bible to court. ![]() Walter Alexander on the stand Wednesday But has he read it? Because I listened to his testimony and I think he needs to review the Ten Commandments. You don’t even have to get that far into the good book to find them. They show up at Exodus, Chapter 20 and again in Deuteronomy, Chapter 5. And I want to refer Mr. Alexander to one particular Commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor. That Commandment has made it’s way all the way from Mount Sinai to the common law, to the law of the state of Nevada. Which is precisely why he swore to tell the truth in the court of law and the first place, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But Walter Alexander, it seems, did nothing of the sort. Instead, it seems, he lied about asking for money to slant his testimony, about his anger with O.J. Simpson because Simpson hadn’t paid for Alexander’s father’s funeral, and about what he does for a living. So how do we know whether he’s lying about what happened in this case? Well, we don’t. And if we don’t, we can’t send two men to prison on his word, Bible or not. And that’s the Last Word. -Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Editor's note: Ms. Floyd dictates this blog.
