Crime stories show us the part of people's lives they try to keep hidden.

It's extremely damaging to a fair trial to have people reaching judgment about the case in the newspapers and on the radio before the facts are heard in a case.

It is a very long and very difficult road from a fact to a conclusion. But it is a million times longer from a theory to a fact.

I try to take large, general questions that are difficult to resolve and break them down into small, very specific questions that have clear answers.

I have always been much better at asking questions than knowing what the answers were.

I tried not to write about the O.J. Simpson case too much because so much has already been said about it, but there are a lot of questions left worth asking. However, the case is very useful to illustrate other points. The case is a common reference point because everybody knows the ins and outs of it, more than any other case in this generation, so it becomes useful to reference other points. In itself, there aren't that many questions about it that remain unanswered.

There comes a moment during a job interview when you're still talking, but you might as well take off your shoes.
