OJ Simpson's "Dream Team" of lawyers and
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, were found dead at Brown's home. Prosecutors argued that Simpson killed his ex-wife and her lover out of jealousy. Prosecutors began by reporting Nicole Brown Simpson's call to the emergency center from 1989. In it, Nicole Brown said she was afraid Simpson would harm her. Prosecutors also came up with Simpson's DNA material and shoe prints from him, found at the scene of the crime. Dozens of experts stated that Simpson must have been at the scene of the crime. There was a lot of circumstantial scientific evidence.

Simpson hired a team of expensive attorneys led by Robert Shapiro and later Johnnie Cochran. Cochran was nationally known as a lawyer for (mainly black) celebrities and specialized in cases involving discrimination or police brutality. From the outset, the defense was based on the charge of racism. The lawyers claimed that Simpson had been a victim of police fraud by depositing evidence against Simpson at the crime scene. The leader of the investigation into the double murder (Mark Fuhrman) was called a racist by the defense, and the lawyers found footage in which Fuhrman had used the N word.

While prosecutors believed they had a solid case and expected a conviction, polls showed that a majority of black residents of the United States believed that Simpson had been a victim of police fraud. Most white residents of the United States were convinced of Simpson's guilt. As the jury's verdict drew closer, racial tension rose, and some politicians feared a repeat of the Los Angeles race riots a few years earlier. On October 3, 1995 Simpson was acquitted of murder by the jury.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

C. Under the clause, states may not discriminate against citizens of other states in the buying and selling of property.

Explanation:

The Privileges and Immunities clause is found in Article IV of the United States Constitution and it prevents the states to treat in a discriminatory manner to citizens of other states. It also does not contain a market participation exception so, when the State acts as a supplier like in the case of selling or buying properties according to this clause it is forbidden to discriminate non-residents.
