I see, so because Klaus Von Bulow and OJ got away with murder, so should everyone?

Notice Hannity aims this at "liberals" - not at "white men".

My comment wasn't meant to be taken literally (that nobody should be convicted). It was meant to show--I'm only able to conclude--that at the end of the day, neither the public at large nor juries seem to find anything extremely APPALLING about consensual sex with minors--despite all the screeching that's done through the media.

Again, if an actual VIDEOTAPE of an adult male having sex with a 14 year old is not enough to convict, then...it's reasonable to conclude that the crime is not taken seriously by at least a significant subset of people.

(it also gives evidence, surely, that celebrities do better than the population at large in criminal trials).

btw: Alan Dershowitz has vigorously insisted that he is totally convinced of von Bulow's innocence--and that he came into the situation being convinced he was guilty.
