Seemed like this was the first major trial with DNA evidence. The jury, not too surprisingly, did not understand it or its significance. Prosecuting attorney Marsha Clark, and others, spent hours explaining the DNA process. It appeared to be not well understood. Very bland, scientific evidence. I've heard it said, less DNA evidence than that would lead to a slam dunk prosecution today. Maybe? But, you'd still need a jury who understands.

I was on Sunset crossing the 5 westbound when AJ and OJ drove under with 27 police cars following along. Amazing. John and Ken on KFI am covered the story in detail daily for months.

There was no way OJ was getting convicted in LA after the RK riots...

I was a kid during the trial. Remember seeing it on tv but was like 5 years old. So it’s 100% he did do it or does everyone just pick a side? I never read the book or really looked into to case
Shit like this happens every day in every city and the media doesn’t give two shits until it’s a celebrity that does it, or there’s some shock and awe component to it (above and beyond the usual).

Celebrities just assume they won’t get jail time because they’re celebrities and therefore societal norms don’t apply to them. Unfortunately celebrities don’t learn from the mistakes of others because we still have to put up with all the antics in the media.

Too bad it took so long, but at least Nevada put his ass in prison for a long time
,,,, and the victims families did get some financial retribution and kept a fire under his ass.

Pennies.

His retirement from the NFL was $4 milliion plus, the judge said you can't have that.

His move to Florida protected his assets, the laws were put in place to shield retired people from scams.

He used the laws to legally pay next to nothing to the victims.

Florida has UNLIMITED homestead exemption; mansions are OK and can't be touched.

At least he spent what 10 years in Nevada jail?

We can also blame OJ for inadvertently bringing those BSC Kardashian broads into their fame.😖😣😡😭
Robert Kardashian didn't realize it at the time, but that trial had a major impact on his family.
Even though he's no longer with them, till this very day they continue getting black men off

I think the Goldman‘s got about a $20 million judgment of which they collected about zip so now with his assets, and he’s 6 feet under they might finally get something, other than the thrill than pissing on his grave.

POS got off easy....

Was working at a machine shop hooking up CNC machines when the verdict was read. The head machinist was this big black guy, super cool guy. He had some crazy stories of his youth growing up in LA, but got his shit together and made something of himself and moved to Brea... We all decided we would take break/lunch when the verdict was read. He walks over and start laughing and says "Look at all the white dudes waiting to see a black man hang..." It got VERY uncomfortable, and then he starts laughing and says "Im just fucking with you all, relax". He grabs a bucket and sits down to listen... The verdict is read, you could hear a pin drop because we all froze not knowing what to say. This dude stands up, yells "GAWWWWWD DAMMIT, that n____s GUILTY and everybody knows!!! He just set us back 20 years!!!" Kicks the bucket across the warehouse and storms off. All day he just kept shaking his head in disbelief and was pissed off.
I was a cop at the time, and we had black cops and civilian staff that celebrated the acquittal.

And you seem surprised.
Was watching tv today. Since the double murderer being celebrated.
They played a clip of Oprah showing the verdict live.
Almost every black person in tears of joy and jumping up and down.
Almost every other person had their head in their hands and tears of disbelief.
Times haven’t changed much.
Again. Sad.

I was not surprised at all. We debated this case at work leading up to the verdict. It was apparent that most were split down racial lines. Pretty sad actually.

.., had lunch with Mark Furman the detective several years ago… he told us that he took into evidence OJ’s blood on the handrail behind Nicole Simpson‘s home… He gave it to his detective partner, who put it in the trunk of his police car… But for some reason, it never got admitted into evidence…. You got me🤷🏽‍♀️

Long ago, I worked for Howard Weitzman. Howard was OJ's attorney but left OJ after the "incident". Howard also represented John Delorean and got him off the drug charges and Michael Jackson, the sleep over with kids guy among others. Howard had some interesting stories. Howard has since passed and a lot of his experiences went to the grave with him.

Rot in hell you piece of shit. I hope you suffered with your cancer.

I met Rons sister years ago. Her name is Kim. I didn’t know what to say, so I said, “ Sorry about what happened to Ron”. She thanked me for calling him by his name. She had complete grace during her time of horror.

That girl in the picture two posts above, covering her mouth, is Kim.

That fucker should have been stopped on the highway by bulldozers like the Challenger was in Vanishing Point. Total farce by the police and media. The jury was hand picked I'm sure, the glove was shrunk on purpose, his hands were swollen by meds, and DNA wasn't allowed to use. All those who helped OJ off had no conscience and remorse since.

OJ juror being interviewed on a segment of Newsmax last night.
Asked if the verdict was payback she said absolutely, asked what % of jury felt the same, she said 90%.
Asked how she felt now, raised her hands palms up and smirked.
She felt and feels murdering white people is justified...

Glove was original.. except they had the Juice KILLA.. try the glove on without contaminating the evidence...

Jury nullification based on race.
