1.  I am between 51% and 95% certain that OJ is guilty.

2.  May depend on other facts and circumstances.  But, generally speaking, police officers are not judges, and cannot prohibit otherwise legal behavior outside of an enforcement/investigatory context.  So - probably not breaking a law.

If a client of yours is guilty of the charges being pressed on them, how hard is it to build a case if the other party probably has deciding evidence?

A man comes home and there is a strange car parked behind his wife.  He comes in screaming, "Where is he, where is he?" checking ther closets in their home.  Shes pleading with him to "leave him alone" and upon opening the last closet, he finds a man hiding.  The husband flips the man out of the closet and punches him, getting about 10 punches in and the other man gets about one.  The husband leaves the home, and proceeds life on his own.  Is there a lawful fault in this story?

An adolescent kid is riding their dirtbike around in the fields of his neighborhood.  One of his neighbors shoves a 2x4 through his spokes, sending him flying and ending up with a broken nose among other scrapes, brusies, etc..  Years later, while maintaining a solid case with his active lawyer, he keeps being told that he cannot get the money he deserves because the old neighbor owns a business and he puts a high percentage of the money he earns back into the business.  Is this true that he cannot in fact get the money?
