O.J. Simpson and Crackhead Jesus Reveal Paradox of U.S. Justice System

NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ --

The legal trials and tribulations of sports legend O.J. Simpson and multi-media artist, Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. have raised awareness amongst the general public about the litigation vortex which exists in the U.S. Justice system. The two celebrities have forced legal experts and media to analyze allegations that justice can be selectively applied and manipulated with money and skilled attorneys.


Simpson, aided by his high-priced team of legal eagles led by Johnny Cochrane and F. Lee Bailey was acquitted of murder charges in criminal court and found guilty of murder in civil court using a different legal defense team. Simpson now faces criminal charges for his participation in an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas.


Fellow South Florida resident, Vaca, meanwhile is embroiled in a pro se legal battle to protect the rights of citizens seeking to hire ethical and competent legal counsel. His struggles with the Florida Bar and the court system have been dubbed the "Crackhead Jesus trials" after the series of paintings he created to document his journey through the U.S. justice system labyrinth.


Vaca claims the Florida Bar is condoning perjury, conflict of interest, and failing to protect citizens against unethical and incompetent attorneys in a death penalty state. "No wonder O.J. Simpson moved to Florida."


Vaca also claims that O.J. Simpson's "Trial of the Century" exposed the paradox that select individuals in the U.S. can "get away with murder." The controversial story of Crackhead Jesus uses dark humor and mixed-media art to explain how the dangerously flawed justice system let this happen.


Citing the documented case of Boca Raton attorney, Aaron R. Cohen, who took residence in his client's house while representing the client in several trials, Vaca asks, "Am I the only one who sees anything wrong with this picture?" Without an explanation, the Florida Bar, led by Henry Coxe III, ruled that no conflict of interest existed.


The incident, wherein Vaca claims his tenant/attorney divulged sensitive confidential information about other clients' cases during his visits to collect unpaid rent has led to a series of Florida Bar inquiries regarding over fifty ethical violations against Conde & Cohen (2007-50,379(15E), 2007- 50,519(15E). Legal experts predict the lessons learned from both O.J. Simpson and Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. will have long lasting effects on the U.S. cultural landscape.
