US-ers are strange people indeed. Each time a convicted criminal assumes a funny name, he instantenously becomes a cult figure surrounded by supporters whose faith in his innconece approaches religious conviction, unshaken by any knowledge of facts. Is it a re-enactmemnt of that old cult figure Jesus Christ, or what?
