re: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story series long thread

Alan Dershowitz (??) a defense consultant was on M.Kelly last nite & he said that he was surprised that 2 things came out in the show that had never been put out for public consumption before: 1) OJ failed a lie detector test & 2) he did try & commit suicide. He also said that the so called Dream Team was a nightmare, as every atty was out for him/herself & could have cared less about OJ as a person. He would not address guilt or innocence, saying no defense atty ever would, but he did say the prosecution team was horrible. Said that when the prosecurtors had OJ try the gloves on in front of the jury, without testing the fit first, it saved the defense from having OJ testify & basically won their case for them. He also said that the prosecutors knew of the tapes of Furman's racist comments previously in his career but chose to down play their importance.
