Mr. Jagger had been inspired by the tongue of the Hindu goddess Kali, Mr. Pasche recalled, “but I didn’t want to do anything Indian, because I thought it would be very dated quickly, as everyone was going through that phase at the time.” Still, Kali’s mouth and lips “triggere

If anyone still has any doubts about the guilt of OJ Simpson and his murderous ways, read Vincent Bugliosi's book "The Five Reasons Why O.J. Got Away With Murder". Bugliosi prosecuted Manson, wrote Helter Skelter, and "he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, which included 21 murder convictions without a single loss".
