        You might be interested in reading it if you're curious about the case:
        The renowned attorney and bestselling author reveals how notable trials throughout our history have helped to shape our nation. Offering insights into the human condition, these trials serve as a historical document, chronicling the struggles and passions of their time.


        He concludes it like this:

        "Of all the appeals I have argued, this should have been the easiest one to win. The law clearly required a reversal of the conviction and a new trial. I am convinced—and I think most observers were convinced—that at a second trial, with all the new evidence before the jury, Tyson would have been acquitted. But this was Indiana. They had a trophy in Tyson. The conviction was affirmed on a 2–2 tie vote by the Indiana Supreme Court, with the chief justice disqualifying himself from participation in the decision on a phony pretext. I believe that the real reason he disqualified himself was that his own previous decisions would have required him to vote for reversal, and if he did, the public would be reminded that he himself had been accused of sexual impropriety by a fellow judge. In my forty years of practicing law throughout the world, I have never encountered a more thoroughly corrupt legal system than I did in 1992 in Indiana and a less fair trial than the one accorded Mike Tyson."

        That said, I'm not shedding too many tears for him. He's pretty much admitted to committing other violent crimes for which he was never caught or punished.

        That's a pretty interesting quote. I may have to pick that book up. One thing I know is that our justice system is fucked. But like I said to Luke earlier, I just don't know what would be a better system. Every system is liable to suffer from corruption and human error.

        I actually read Tyson's new biography last year. It was very interesting for sure.

          Yeah, it's kind of pricey. But they at least give you a lot for your money. I'm sure it takes a lot of resources to build and maintain everything.

          But yeah, still, I was thinking more like $19.99 or something.

            Maybe I don't fully understand what it is, but why would you need it for more than a month? Don't you just plug in details of your and your familes life and they give you a family tree and history?

              No, not at all, it's WAY more complicated than that. It's basically a way to look up resources for YOU to put together your family tree. Like, you'll put in some basic information for a family member, like their name and birthdate and where they were born. And then based on that information, you can search all the records that have been collected to try to find more information both about that person as well as other members of your family.

              So, for instance, you may find your grandfather's social security application. And on this application it will list his mother's name and father's name. And you can then use that to try to find records for your great-grandparents and so on and so forth. A lot of people have a hard time getting past their great-grandparents in fact, and many people spend YEARS working on their genealogies.

              You basically have to be a detective and find documents and piece together clues to build the story of your family.

                      BOL. It does.

                      I like how the knock-off Arnold has "Armed with Weapons" as one of its selling points. It's gay that the PC police don't kids to buy toy guns and army men and play war anymore.
