Beautiful that OJ passed peacefully surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

Something Ron Goldman was denied an opportunity to do so as he bled out.

This all could be cross-posted in the “I need good news” water cooler thread.
Good riddance

Investigator: Mr. Simpson, who do you think killed your ex-wife and Mr. Goldman?

OJ: Hmm, I'm not sure but I can take a stab at it.



Too soon?

Asking OJ to try on the gloves has to be one of the worst courtroom moves in history.

Seriously, how did that seem like a good idea to the prosecution?

We all know he did it and some of the jurors have openly admitted they let him off for being black, but the prosecution did so bad that I don't see how a jury could actually vote to convict. If the detective who found the key blood evidence after it was missed several times is on the stand and is asked if he planted the key evidence and pleads the fifth, how can you convict? They created so much reasonable doubt that I'd probably have had to swallow the bile and say 'not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt'. His behavior after the case feels more incriminating than the actual heavily damaged evidence. The invented Charlie persona and 'hypothetical' interview and book really seals the deal.

As it was unfolding, I was thinking the perfect surprise would've been the revelation that OJ had donated blood just a week before the murders. If OJ had planned the murders, that would've been a brilliant pre-emptive thing to do.

Then the defense could've raised reasonable doubt regarding all blood evidence by saying someone at the blood bank had recognized OJ, and stolen some of his blood for a frame-up.

It was also interesting they chose not to put on evidence of the attempted flight and car chase. Or to call A.C. Cowlings.

I-am-not-a-lawyer but wouldn't the car chase only help if they had charged him for evading the law/running from the police or whatever the technical charge for not complying is, and not the murders themselves? Wanting to be free isn't proof one did the original crime.

Unpopular opinion probably, but you should be allowed to run from the cops. Ain't nothing more natural than a mans desire to be free, doesn't feel like a just crime in and of itself.
