I genuinely hope that I was right and that OJ was really guilty

Not because I give a crap about being right about it but because can you friggin imagine living his life afterwards if he really was innocent?

I can't imagine going thru half my adult life branded guilty of such a terrible crime and knowing that everywhere I went, I was seen as a murderer if it weren't true.

Rest easy. Even jurors have admitted that they knew he did it. They said they found him not guilty as retaliation for the Rodney king situation as well as general dislike for whitey

This was one of those where black people just wanted a win even though they knew he was guilty.

I guess it depends on how closely you followed the trial, and maybe how old you were at the time, but even with the incompetence of the judge and utter buffoonery of the prosecutor, Stevie Wonder could see OJ committed these crimes from a mile away. How someone could ponder being wrong about it 30 years later is beyond me.

Don’t worry, he was guilty as hell.

He admitted his guilt to Rosie Grier, a football tackle who became a minister and met with OJ in prison. It was not allowed as evidence.

If you are not religious that's fine, but if your are then you know he has now been judged correctly. There is no hiding once you sit at your final judgement. If the glove doesn't fit, god knows what happened and doesn't give a shite.

Think about the Respek.

Or lack there of.

Either way, he was a shitty man.

Any person knowingly rendering innocent verdict after the overwhelming evidence, is damned to hell.

I'm sure there are shitty zoomers that actually believe he was innocent because that generation is mentally fricked, but no one that was conscious at the time of the trial thinks he was innocent. Not the jury, not his lawyers, not anyone.

That was obvious at the time.

Remember the Case Anthony trial?

The DA discovered she had goggled “fool proof suffocation” the day her daughter died a few weeks before trial. Instead of risking a trial delay, prosecutors planned to introduce this evidence against her in cross-examination when she took the stand.

But she never took the stand, and the jury never knew she had searched those terms.

Justice is an imperfect process that comes down to people.

But I do believe the prosecution proved OJ’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That jury was never going to convict, especially after seeing his house.

Remember after the trial Johnny Cochrane admitted he went to OJ’s house and took down all of the photos (all of them were of OJ with rich white people over his career) and put up a bunch of photos of MLK and other black liberation-type photos

When the jury did the walkthrough they believed OJ had been fighting oppression his whole life, and this was a way to stick it to the oppressors.

Judge Ito deserves a lot of the blame for how that trial went. He was clearly intimidated by the defense team, the threats of violence if OJ was found guilty and his own image in the media.

That doofus lost control of his courtroom, and the rest is history.

Either he did it or he took the wrap for his son. Either way he deserved all the guilt he lived with.

Famous eight-word utterance which pretty well sums up the whole case: "if the.glove don't fit, you must acquit." The former Shreveport native became a rockstar overnight with that one phrase.

There is increasing substance to the theory that OJ's son Jayson Simpson may have been the killer, given his history of criminal behavior and mental health concerns. Why the LAPD was single-mindedly focused on OJ, and never even questioned Jayson remains a mind-numbling perplexity.

OJ literally laughed about the murders when he did the “If I did it” interview when describing what happened. He was a sociopathic narcissist. He didn’t give a shite. In his mind he didn’t do anything wrong.

His own family and friends know he did it.

More information will continue to leak out about now that he's dead.
