Once again, OJ's headline qualifies for the Pulitzer

Oh, great. Peter Boyles (local talk host) now has a career again. Of course, this case truly proves that there is no such thing as perfect justice.

I'd recommend everyone hold their horses on this. His "confession" appears to be contradicted by others and may just be a way to get out of a Thai prison and into one closer to home.

It also doesn't explain many of the odd aspects of the case: did he really write the ransom note on a pad of paper found in the house, referring to himself as "a small foreign faction," and asking for the precise amount of John Ramsey's recent bonus ($118,000)?

I reckon I owe the family an apology. At one time or another I figured each of them was guilty.

h, you may still be proved right. This guy seems like a nut.
