The Most Controversial U.S. Court Trials

    I won't speak about the others, but I saw the FULL film of the rodney king stop. The police were telling the TRUTH! They later took off the first part of the film, and claimed they were all in some racist conspiracy. The RK "supporters" certainly showed how just and reasonable in the reaction after the verdict. That last statement was SARCASTIC, since a curfew was even declared!

      I don't know about the racial conspiracy stuff but...

      I always wondered why Rodney would not just stay down and maybe, just maybe they would stop beating the hell out of him.

      Just think, if tasers were available I doubt if all of that would have happened.

      Those "RK" supporters you speak of simply used RK to wreck havoc on LA and decent people would not have been involved.

      IMHO the vast majority of the people out there breaking into stores and causing mayhem are the same type of people that would snatch my mother's pocketbook and knock her over the head if she resisted.

        Yeah, I think you're right on all counts.

    The Amanda Knox case was in Italy, not in the US.

      I guess she's included because she's an American citizen.

    Where's the Lindbergh baby kidnapping or the Lizzie "couple of whacks with an axe" Borden trials???


    I'd also include the Dr's trial that inspired "The Fugitive".
