Jim Gray is a moron. Making completely false and biased statements about the American criminal justice system. Last night on the late Sportscenter in reference to the Kobe case dismissal.
Exactly where did Jim Gray get his law degree and vast criminal justice system experience? He kept saying things like, "innocent people go to jail all the time" or "innocent people get charged with crimes all the time." (I'll try to find the segment to get the exact quotes) What? What the hell is he talking about? I've lamented this before, in the athletes as defendants context, it's exactly the opposite, Jimbo. Remember OJ? Or Ray Lewis? The guilty go free.
But in the world according to Jim Gray, our jails and prisons are full of innocent people. Well, I suppose if you ask the people in the jails and prisons, that's what they would tell you. And our police departments are so bored and have so much time on their hands, they concoct stories and chase innocent people all day.
How horrible life must be for Jim Gray. To be hounded by the cops all the time. Living in fear. Hiding in the alleys. Flying coach. Continually defending himself against trumped up charges. Avoiding those cheap frame jobs. Looking around and watching the cops lay ruin to our beloved society.
Is this system perfect? No, but it's the best in operation currently on this earth. Does the system make mistakes? Yes (Don't start on me with DNA cases, there's not enough of them to be statistically significant), but not as often as Jim Gray would have you believe. Get ahold of yourself Jim and the rest of the sports news cadre (more on them later....)
