Interesting that you'd cite the OJ case, as it was claimed at the time that most whites believed OJ was guilty while most blacks believed he was innocent. If one of the key components of justice is making sure that justice is *seen* to be done, then we may run into some trouble there, since people don't always "see" very well.
