Shapiro: Verdict in Tickets
OJ. case justified
by reasonable doubt
Continued from Page 1
sponsored by Princeton Review
and Network Event Theater
Communications in New York.
The first and second parts dealt
with admissions to medical and
business school, and the third
focused on career development.
Shapiro said that Americans
were entranced by what some
call the “trial of the century” as
Simpson, a former football
hero, went on trial for the June
12, 1994, murder of his ex-wife,
Nicole Brown Simpson, and her
friend, Ronald Goldman.
As Shapiro answered ques
tions from students, he ad
dressed how racism affected the
trial, what is was like to have
cameras in the courtroom, and
discrepancies with the evidence.
“We saw the country divided
by a verdict in a criminal case,
and my question to students is
what causes society to look at
each other rather than the fu
ture of our justice system,”
Shapiro said. “Society became
divided by a racial element.”
As the verdict of not guilty
was announced on October 3,
1995, Shapiro said students
from predominately African-
American colleges were cheer
ing for Simpson’s victory while
students from predominately
white colleges were in shock.
Shapiro said this difference
in attitude points to a need for
members of different races to
communicate.
“We all want peace, safety,
health, good public education
and a good life, but we just
have to find a way to under
stand each others’ perspec
tives,” he said.
Throughout the eight-month
trial, Shapiro said, tones of
racism surfaced that caused
America to debate whether the
jury’s decision was influenced
by the wrong things.
Latrice White, a junior busi
ness major, said racism should
not have been an issue because
it had nothing to do with the
point of the case.
“What color skin someone
has should not matter in a
murder trial,” White said.
Shapiro said the verdict was
justified because the jury clear
ly had reason to doubt Simp
son’s guilt.
Some of the examples that
left room for reasonable doubt,
he said, were crime scene evi
dence that was not logged in
immediately with authorities,
blood found on the back gate
and socks that contained
preservatives.
“This doesn’t mean the evi
dence was tampered with,”
Shapiro said. “It just means we
look at it differently because
there’s a lack of credibility.”
Shapiro said he disagrees
with the way the media editori
alized the trial, though it is es
sential that the American pub
lic knows what takes place in
the courtroom.
“I don’t agree with cameras
going from the witness then to
the lawyer to get their reac
tions,” Shapiro said. “A camera
is necessary but should be
placed in position similar to the
jury where it is facing the wit
ness or judge and stay there.”
However, some do not agree
with Shapiro and say cameras
should stay out of the courtroom.
Debra Ibarra, a senior psy
chology major, said cameras do
not belong in the courtroom
because they create a mockery
of the system and a farce of
the trial.
“Shapiro made a good point
about the American public be
ing able to see how the judicial
system works, but with cam
eras it becomes too much like a
play,” Ibarra said.
Shapiro concluded by saying
the Simpson case was both the
highest mountain and the low
est valley in his career.
“The effect on my family was
indescribable and excruciating,
and I would never do it again,”
he said. “But for my career, it
was a chance of a lifetime.”

graduates. The center was orig
inally scheduled to open by
Spring 1997, but because of
construction delays, the open
ing was pushed back.
Hodges said the facility will
allow graduates to invite as
many guests as they want.
But until December 1997,
graduates will likely continue
to cover campus with fliers and
pay as much as $50 to $75 for
extra tickets.
Matt McDonald, a senior
management major, said he
needs one more ticket but real
izes the odds of getting even
one are slim.
“I’m just asking people I
know right now,” McDonald
said, “but I’ll probably have to
resort to fliers because evei)-
one needs tickets.”
McDonald said $50 is tie
most he or his friends
for tickets, but he has seen

tion tickets violates Universih

Humor

Dr. Sue Geller, the first
professor in the math c
ment, makes a presentaW
about using humor in teadi
and survival.
in the workplace.
“She raises the awareness that
there is still lots of ground to be
broken by women in their fields,”
he said.
“I realize that I must be careful
in how I treat my female col
leagues and that I must support
them so that they get the respect
that men currently have.”
Some things Geller cited as dis
respectful to professional women
were the use of condescending
terms such as "young lady” and the
refusal to address them with ap
propriate titles such as doctor and
professor instead of “Miss.”
Women faculty being ignored and not being seriously considered';
graduate research positions or professorships are other issues i r
Geller highlighted.
“One of my male colleagues confessed,” she said, “that he
of his ideas by simply listening to suggestions that 1 make inmeefe
that no one acknowledges and then repeating them.”
Attacking such problems with humor has drawn criticism, Gel
said, by women who feel the issues should not be made light oh:
skits and jokes.
But Geller said that because there is no one way to teach anyth
she hopes some people enjoy the skits and comprehend the message
“Though humor doesn’t always work,” she said, “it’s at
tempt at de-escalation and cooperation. I think that’s a better way:
the world to operate.”
Holly Bishop, a graduate student in zoology, said that becai
she has not been exposed to significant gender discriminate
learning ways to handle it will help her cope should the probli
arise in the future.
“Learning to use humor instead of getti ng angry is an important!
son to be learned,” she said. “Learning to laugh about a problem
