“If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” (Johnnie Cochran- OJ’s lawyer)

“If the tenant doesn’t submit (payment), you should evict?” (Anxious Landlords)

From a drama perspective, OJ Simpson’s (first) trial was great theater. It were built with a thrilling beginning (who could ignore the white Bronco chase on the interstate?) and it immediately captured the nation’s attention. The story was televised 24-hours each day and reporters energetically followed every lead and generated countless side stories (the “Dancing Ito’s” anyone?). The public was excited, and therefore the trial got past its first week (which developed into the initial of about 60 weeks). Whew!

The numerous times of the particular trial were equally tedious. The evidence was presented in more detail along with the jurors were tired. The lawyers knew whoever could boil down the a lot of time of testimony into something mentally palpable for the jury would win. Marcia Clark, the DA, attemptedto make large preponderance of evidence against OJ and attract each juror’s sound judgment; unfortunately, it was a great deal for that jury to process as OJ’s lawyers poked holes into the validity of many of the evidence, creating a lot more confusion. On the other hand, Johnnie Cochran (using a grand visual presentation), boiled your decision of OJ’s guilt or innocence into one statement: “If the glove doesn’t fit, you should acquit.” Above the din, the jurors finally had something simple they could cling to; this easy statement helped them cut over the cacophony of the trial and make a final decision of “Guilty” or “Not Guilty”. And on 10/3/95, the Juice was loose.

When Landlords – Your Guide to Insurance and What You Need to Have If You Own Investment Property do not, there’s usually a whole lot of drama. “I’ll use a payment arriving at you next week now”, “I have a good deal of family issues”, and “I thought you said you needed it next Tuesday.” Countless calls and e-mails are meant to entice you socially, emotionally, and mentally; it can be tough never to sympathize (or empathize)! This type of interaction (some refer to it “gaming”) has one purpose- to convince you never to evict. Much like the OJ trial with all from the drama and grandstanding, you sometimes have to have a simple statement to assist guide your decision. Fortunately, there is one.

This statement, with style points coming courtesy from the late Johnnie Cochran: “If they don’t submit (FULL payment), you have to evict”. Very simple!
