TOUCHDOWN, JOHNNIE! blared the tabloid New York Post after Cochran took the floor. ``After the prosecution finished, it seemed so clear that O.J. was guilty,'' says U.S.C.'s Chemerinsky. ``Then after the defense finished, you felt he was not guilty. What more could you ask for?'' The jury, however, has yet to see the full presentation of evidence--and evidence, in theory, is what will take...
