O.J. Gets an All-White Jury: Teacher's Husband Acquitted of Murdering Wife's Teen Lover

Judge Jackie Glass gives her best "hear no evil, see no evil, know no evil" facial expression after ruling that the Prosecution did not remove a black juror peremptorily because of her race.


Okay, these two articles are so good that I thought I would just combine them. Orenthal James Simpson got a little taste of karma today that couldn't have been scripted better if it were a Hollywood movie. The ex-football great will receive his day in court no doubt...compliments of an ALL-WHITE JURY!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Do you remember the statistics that show the breakdown between white and black Americans' views on Simpson's 1995 murder acquittal? Well, those statistics are about to play out in front of us on CourtTV starting bright and early Monday morning. We shall all have to wait with bated breath to see whether those numbers actually do come into play. Of course, no one on that jury will actually admit to any biases. That would be unethical and unconstitutional, right?

Now don't think that O.J.'s defense attorney, Yale Galanter didn't give it his all to stop this all-white jury from being formed. There had been one black juror, but the Prosecution struck her down during the peremptory challenge stage of voir dire. Galanter's defense was that the juror was being targeted because she was black, but Judge Jackie Glass didn't buy it, ergo constituting the gallows humor in this whole thing. Get it? Gallows! HAHAHAHA!

I am pretty sure, though, that O.J. Simpson is not laughing. He is, after all, the one looking at life in prison and I think this jury is starting to remind him of one of those racist rabbles looking to lynch the first black man in sight. Poor O.J. Poor, poor O.J. I would probably feel sorry for the man if it weren't so God-damn funny and so God-damn fitting. Don't worry, Juice, I think you have grounds for a great appeal should you be convicted.


Eric McLean, left, was married to Erin McLean, right, for 11 years before he suspected she was having an affair. Her paramour turned out to be her own student. I guess she's now teaching sex education. Hmmmm...Debra LaFave? Erin McLean? Where were these teachers when I was in school?


All right, now moving on to the teacher's husband who killed his wife's teen lover. That jury, today, found the jilted cuckold, Eric McLean, now 33, NOT GUILTY of murder one, NOT GUILTY of murder two, NOT GUILTY of involuntary manslaughter, but GUILTY of reckless homicide. He could receive probation for this crime.

His wife, Erin McLean, then 29, was having an affair with her 18-year-old former student, Sean Powell. Eric McLean confronted the teenage boy after he found the boy in his own house with his wife. He allegedly got a shotgun out to scare him, there was a struggle, and the gun went off killing the teen.

Meanwhile, Erin McLean has disappeared off the face of the Earth. She took her two kids and booked and no one can find her. I guess she was too embarrassed to testify in court. Eric McLean is free on bond until his sentencing in November and he is asking that his wife return their two kids to him.

Hmmmm...daddy shoots mommy's naughty teen boyfriend, mommy flees out of embarrassment, daddy might get probation, and now daddy wants his kids back. I think something is definitely wrong with this picture, although I must say that I did feel sorry for the man and I, too, would have acquitted him on all of those charges. His wife should have divorced him for her teen lover instead of staying married and flaunting her affaire de coeur at her husband. That's enough to make anyone snap, wouldn't you say?

So what do you think, people? Write to me about these two stories so that I know what you think.
