Oh Tom...stop reading tabloids and investigate the facts. If a Chemist of Dennis Fungs incompetency had worked for you, you would have fired his ass. They violated about every tenant of forensic and analytical testing you can commit from CoC, to sampling procedures to sample collection and preservation ad nausea. OJ Simpson may have killed those two and if he did he walked because of the incompetency of the LA County coroners department and the LAPD. There is no argument that reasonable doubt existed in that case.

I haven't caught this, what station is it on? I was addicted to The People vs OJ. That was really reliving the 90's in many ways. It was crazy but in retrospect not really. He lost everything and ended up in prison with a 30 year sentence anyway. Maybe he will make parole, but maybe he won't. Either way he paid. As he should.

Sorry...I caught parts of that and it was just more of Hollywood taking outrageous liberties with facts and the truths and making a parody of the actual events.

I need to watch this next episode but supposedly one juror said she basically slept through the whole DNA portion of the trial.

Some will argue the trial was lost the minute they moved it from Santa Monica to Downtown LA. DA Gil Garcetti said he felt LA would better handle the media crunch and basically he felt to win a legitimate guilty verdict in the minds of the black community he wanted it in LA.

The reality is the DT LA jury pool compared to Santa Monica is much less educated and economically successful. Throw on top of that they were asking for jurors to be available for six months well it doesn't set itself up for necessarily the smartest jury group ever assembled.

Yet they got it right. Had I been on the jury with my background in analytical testing and sampling and preservation procedures I would have found reasonable doubt too. There are a number of points you should keep in mind. OJ was like 5 or 10 minutes away from having an air tight alibi. Next, there were no witnesses or weapons that tied him to the crime scene. Thirdly, the forensic evidence, as demonstrated in court, was badly, actually incompetently, managed. The prosecution simply didn't have a strong case.

First off OJ is innocent, screw not guilty. Secondly there was all kinds of evidence against OJ including motive. Watch the interviews where he regularly changes his alibi for how he hurt his hand for instance. His behavior post murder and suicide note was not behavior of an innocent man.

All that aside he was innocent.
 
Was reading an interview on espn.com with the Director and saw this:

""In one of the big surprises to me from Part 4, which focuses on the trial, O.J. was allowed to sign autographs from prison, which reportedly earned him $3 million and helped to pay for his defense team. In your research, did you find that to be an unusual development?

Ezra Edelman: It's unusual in the sense that, first of all, there aren't many celebrities who are tried for murder, let alone a celebrity whose primary means of making money is signing autographs. There are so many unique things about this story, and that's part and parcel of it. You have a guy who was a celebrity and former football star who signed autographs for a living, and if you haven't been convicted of a crime, you still have the right to earn an income. But that was surprising to me. I didn't know that before I started.""


I paid $250 an autographed USC jersey when he was in prison. Glad I could contribute Juice.

I wouldn't buy anything from that piece of shit. The funds should go to abused women shelters or to his murder victims.

The money I paid went to his defense team. Any money he had remaining he lost in the civil trial (although I believe his NFL pension my be untouchable).
 
In one of the previews there were black women on the jury who didn't feel sympathy for Nicole because she kept going back to him after he beat her.

But there was a whole dynamic I can't speak to that they referenced and that's how black women feel towards white women who marry successful black men.

I am not talking about the case and the trial, I am talking about the fact that he was 100% guilty and was fucking lucky that the prosecution was so inept. I also think that the Rodney King incident worked massively in his favour!

I agree that the Daily Mail US edition is a tabloid but it is also very successful. The UK edition print edition doesn't have any of that Karcrashian shit, indeed the Android app lets you turn all that off. There are some bloody good feature writers on the Mail, but I don't suppose you've heard of many apart from Peter Hitchens.

Maybe you like to read this and tell me where they've gone wrong?

nah he didn't pay. Yeah jail is jail but you want him there for the right reasons. He still got away with the first one and had 12-15 extra years playing golf than he should have.
 
My only complaint with the show was casting Cuba Gooding as OJ. He's not large or menacing enough to do the part. Everyone else was spot-on, though.
 
I enjoyed it cause I was only 9 and 10 when all that shit going on. I remember seeing the trial on in the background cause my parents were watching it but I never knew the finer details of the case.
