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

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.
