ORIGINAL: MercTech Bottom line; is OJ a danger to society? AT 70, I think not. Let him out on parole and save the public budget the cost of guarding him. If the "old farts are no danger to society" thing is grounds for release, why's Charlie Manson still locked up? Actually, the big difference between whether Manson and OJ should or should not be released (due to age or any other reason) is that Manson WAS convicted for his part in the Tate and LaBianca murders, and OJ (rightly or wrongly) was acquitted. Love it or hate it, that's how our legal system works, and even with it's faults it is still probably one of the best legal systems in the world. I don't remember the source or the exact quote, but it was something like, "It's better that ten guilty people go free than for one innocent man to spend a day in jail for something he did not do."
