THE PEOPLE REST

After seven months of testimony

The People rest their case against O.J.

Placing most their faith in DNA

Prior abuse and opportunity

To knife both Ronald and Nicole that night

And even though the dead don't have a say

And Simpson won't the witness box essay

Blood evidence screams witness to a fury,

Now Defense must bruise and rip the People

Bleeding every weakness in circumstantial

Cases, content to create a reasonable doubt

Where any certainty may fall or stumble,

But how long can they tout the insubstantial

Before the jury doubts a reasonable doubt?
