My confidence has been destroyed.

I am going to need time in which to examine and question everything I thought up to this point in my life I knew to be the truth.

My whole system for looking at things, my world, my paradigm has been crushed . . .

I cannot overstate this: nothing makes sense anymore.

I feel lost.

What am I doing here in law school anymore???

And what is the point of it all?

O.J., you didn't just take two lives. You took my innocence and my idealism.

O.J. did it.

And who would have thought?
