Following with the same logic, Bill Clinton is actually a drug addict
and a Russian spy whose orders are to destroy the United States.

There are a lot of defense lawyers who would love to get you onto
their juries!  

Nosair shot Kahane, then ran from the room with the gun, attempted to
hijack a taxi cab, and was wounded in a shootout with a policeman -
all within about 2 minutes.  And, even though no other gun was ever
presented as evidence, nor did anyone actually see another gun in the
room, the jury found Nosair guilty of possession of the weapon but not
guilty of the murder, prompting the presiding judge to describe their
verdict as "bizzare".  

One of the most likely explanations is that a Martian had actually
shot Kahane and then teletransported with the murder weapon to another
dimension, leaving poor Mr. Nosair to take the blame.  This was the
"reasonable doubt" they had! 

A very similar logic was just used a week ago in finding Lemrick
Nelson not guilty of murder, even though several witnesses (ambulance
people as well police) testified that the dying Rosenbaum identified
Nelson as the murderer within minutes of the deed.  Don't you see a
pattern beginning to emerge?  

There will ALWAYS be some doubt in such cases.  This is why Governor
Cuomo of NY opposes the death sentence.  Your calling Kahane a
fascist, by demonizing Jews unfairly, makes it easier for juries to
categorize their doubts as "reasonable" doubts.  In many parts of this
city (and this country, not to mention other parts of the world,
especially the Arab world), people like Yankel Rosenbaum are just as
despised as Meir Kahane.  In Sunday's NY Times, a black man in Crown
Heights is quoted as saying "They can't kick us out of here.  This
isn't Palestine." 

The jury verdict in these 2 cases should disturb and concern all
Americans, because each of us can be victimised by the system next.
That you find it more inviting to rail against Kahane rather than
against the injustices of the "Justice" system in these 2 cases,
raises doubts about your own ability to see things clearly.
