The Trial of The Century-Law Po

The long-awaited verdict in the recent O.J. Simpson murder trial both stunned and divided the various populations of the nation. Many  Americans expected the jury to return a verdict of guilty, others hoped for a non-guilty verdict, and still others waited with great anticipation and were finally rewarded with the final deliberations and the decision of a jury of O.J. Simpson's peers.
The defense "Dream Team" realized its successful victory with the "Not Guilty" verdict, while the prosecution greatly suffered its defeat on a number of levels.  Sadly, the prosecution sought to equally share its valiant defeat with the millions of Americans who are and have been victims of domestic violence.
Today, we witness a vindicated American, legally cleared by a jury of his peers in a legal courtroom drama which was witnessed by countless millions of Americans and citizens of the world.  We are presently witnessing a segment of the American public that continues to disrespect the foundations of America's legal system and its system of justice because of the verdict decided by twelve jurors, who were average and ordinary citizens whose lives were subsequently disrupted by sequestration for more than a year at a daily pay rate of $5.00 per day.
"By Order of The Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, You are Hereby Summoned to Appear for Jury Duty".  Had you been one of a thousand citizens in Los Angeles County who received that notice in the early Fall of 1994, you very likely would have been asked to participate in one of the largest jury screening processes ever to take place.
The trial changed the way that most Americans "see" the criminal justice process, law and order, and how law enforcement operates.
More importantly, law enforcement officers and criminal justice professionals, as well as the carriage of justice in America has been affected and virtually divided on many fronts by the trial, officer testimonies, DNA, evidence, police procedure and more, and especially the subsequent verdict.
Because of a new interactive trial guide, created to allow anyone to "live" the recent O.J. Simpson trial jury experience, it is now possible for YOU to virtually experience "The Trial of the Century" as if you were an actual juror. 
With this new concept in role-play involvement ..... you will:

-Keep score on whose opening statements and closing arguments are more persuasive;
-Evaluate the testimony of each witness on direct examination and cross-examination;
-Get beyond all the media hype;

What makes this O.J. Simpson trial interactive court experience so unique are the many levels that are provided and the opportunity that it allows anyone to "put themselves in the jury box and the deliberation room", without being sequestered.  In a real trial, of course, the decision will be left to a jury of 12 quite ordinary citizens, whose own lives will have been forever altered by one of the most grueling trials ever to take place.  But in this interactive trial experience, YOU (and whomever you include in your experience) WILL DECIDE.
