From the marcia Clark intv:
quote:

Yes. In the immediate aftermath of the trial, there were a lot of people who did not want to believe race played as big a part of the verdict as it did — and not necessarily because it was payback for Rodney King. I know that for some jurors, because they said so, it was. One of them left the jury box with a black-power salute.


Nice.

Never heard of the Jason theory, but I have heard the Glen Rogers theory.

I appreciate and understand your position and frankly I can understand why anyone would think he got away with murder.

I just saw it how I saw it and to me, the Jason did it theory fits my thinking at the time and it provides plausible explanation for the issues I had.

Anyway, good show.

I even watched a Shapiro interview on YouTube because I did not recall him speaking in the bizarre manner that travolta was. My wife even asked "did Robert Shapiro talk with his teeth closed or something?"


I immediately did the same thing when I watched it just now.
This thing is comical with the horrible casting and acting. Travolta is making it almost unwatchable.

I wonder if the producers are going with an intentional over-the-top parody of the events in order to highlight the circus that became of the murders and subsequent events. Two people were brutally slain and lives ruined forever, but people watched with rapt attention lapping up every detail with only a passing regard to the fact that actual lives were lost.

I finally saw the first episode and I enjoyed it despite my doubts that someone Cuba Gooding's size could play a guy as big as OJ. The episode reminded me of some details that I've forgotten and how surprised I was that he got off in the first place.

I did not think that Nicole Simpson had an open casket funeral given the extent of her injuries.

I wonder if Simpson will test positive for CTE after he passes.

edit: Also, I want a Ford Bronco because modern SUVs and pickups mostly suck.

Just saw the first episode, and I really enjoyed it. I was too young to understand what all was going on when it originally happened, so it is interesting to see now. Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan said on their podcast that it gets even better.

As to the point about CTE, several sports media folks have suggested that he likely is suffering from it. I even think it got a mention on Simmons pod a few days ago.

I agree. It's pretty frustrating to watch without a DVR.

Kim Kardashian's dad was OJ's lawyer in case anyone didn't know. That's obviously an important detail in this case.

Why would he tell the family OJ killed himself when he didn't know for sure? What an idiot.
