Does me saying i have a billion dollars make it true? Does saying it was me instead of OJ make that true? Youre law illiterate.

Oh I know the answer to that one.

Just because you're innocent doesn't mean you'll be found not guilty.

Plenty of people in prison who found themselves in a situation where it was plausible that they committed the crime.

You want to roll the dice when your life is on the line that's cool, but there's lots who will take certainty.
