A Southern Tier prosecutor was fired Thursday for participating in a recent conference of "white preservationists" in northern Virginia. ...

Mention bias in our legal system and the average American will spit out two letters - OJ. When the OJ verdict came out I was a first year law student and during a luncheon with a professor, one of my classmates mentioned that the OJ verdict made him question his decision to join the legal profession.

Apparently in whatever sheltered fantasy land this guy came from, until OJ, one would be hard pressed to find examples of injustice in our legal system. And of course, the one and only case EVER where a black man got over on the system was the representative case to use as evidence of a system out of control.

Our national myths are deeply held. Irony doesn't quite capture the gravity of this travesty.
