"To Evict Or Not to Evict" & the OJ Simpson Trial
"If the glove doesn't fit, you have to acquit." (Johnnie Cochran- OJ's lawyer)
"If the tenant doesn't submit (payment), you need to evict?" ( hop over to these guys )
From a drama perspective, OJ Simpson's (first) trial was great theater. It stood a thrilling beginning (who could neglect the white Bronco chase for the interstate?) also it immediately captured the nation's attention. The story was televised 24-hours per day and reporters energetically followed every lead and generated countless side stories (the "Dancing Ito's" anyone?). The public was excited, and therefore the trial got past its first week (which turned into the initial close to 60 weeks). Whew!
The countless days of the actual trial were equally tedious. The evidence was presented at length and the jurors were tired. The lawyers knew whoever could boil around the hours and hours of testimony into something mentally palpable for the jury would win. Marcia Clark, the DA, tried to make large preponderance of evidence against OJ and attract each juror's common sense; unfortunately, it was a whole lot for that jury to process as OJ's lawyers poked holes to the validity of many of the evidence, creating even more confusion. On the other hand, Johnnie Cochran (using a grand visual presentation), boiled your choice of OJ's guilt or innocence into one statement: "If the glove doesn't fit, you need to acquit." Above the din, the jurors finally had something simple that they can could cling to; this easy statement helped them cut with the cacophony of the trial and make a final decision of "Guilty" or "Not Guilty". And on 10/3/95, the Juice was loose.
When tenants don't pay, there exists usually a whole lot of drama. "I'll use a payment visiting you in a few days now", "I have a good deal of family issues", and "I thought you said you needed it next Tuesday." Countless calls and e-mails are made to appeal to you socially, emotionally, and mentally; it's tough to not sympathize (or empathize)! This type of interaction (some refer to it as "gaming") has one purpose- to convince you never to evict. Much like the OJ trial with all of the drama and grandstanding, you sometimes have to have a simple statement to help you guide your choice. Fortunately, there's one.
This statement, with style points coming courtesy from the late Johnnie Cochran: "If they just don't submit (FULL payment), you must evict". Very simple!
