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.

The prosecution team was one gaffe after another as well. Asking OJ to try on the gloves is probably taught in law schools as a textbook "Do not."

edit: To be fair, I don't recall exactly if they asked him to, or if the defense team asked and they allowed -- either way inexcusable.

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


This was one of the big points made in the documentary “OJ: Made in America.” The irony of it was that OJ lived a very white life. Mostly white friends, lived in Brentwood, tons of money, exclusive clubs, mostly dated white women, got lots of business because he seemed non-threatening.

Great post about politics.


Yes.

No politics at all involved in a jury pool allowing a man to get away with a double homicide simply because of his race.

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.

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

False according to Christian doctrine, which posits that not even OJ was damned to hell. All he had to do to be admitted to heaven was to confess his sin to God, repent, and go forth and sin no more.

Final judgement is not there to satisfy the desire of a few TD posters for revenge.

Some have speculated either AC Cowlings or his son Jason. Others have speculated it’s just OJ’s alter ego he used to justify what happened. It’s likely there was no ‘Charlie’.

I never heard this but I have no doubt this is true whether it’s documented or not.

Black tribalism is stupid and infuriating.

His own family and friends know he did it.

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