Is there anyone who actually thinks that OJ is innocent?

I was a toddler during the trial, so obviously I have no memories. But from reading anything online, I don't think I've ever seen a single person who thinks that he is innocent. Even in real life, I haven't talked to a single person who thinks he is innocent(and I'm black).

Besides the whole glove thing, what was it exactly that the defense team used to get him off?

The black community thinks he was innocenet - or at least, deserving to be left off to get a win.

I was a kid...this was the first major event I remember from my childhood.

OJ Simpson didn't kill Nicole and Ron. It was his son, Jason.

Jason was a sous chef. He quite literally had a set of knives on him that very night.

Jason had a punch out ticket to clock out at work. But that night he didn't use it. His time that he left was written in for the first time ever. This means no one knows when he actually really left.

Jason lied about his whereabouts and said he was with his girlfriend. It later came out during the civil deposition that he had lied. He then claimed he was home alone after work. He had absolutely no alibi for the time of the murders. None. When this line of questioning took place, Jason got very nervous and the lawyer asked what was going on, and they immediately took a break. Came back from break and this line of questioning was not revisited.

You’d have to be missing chromosomes to think OJ didn’t whack them

How did OJ's shoe prints get to the scene? Did he go there after the fact?

Turned into a larger racism/civil rights issue and people big mad at corrupt LAPD.

He was Framed.

Dana Carvey breaks it all down during the trial.

Nope. OJ did it and basically confessed to it in the book he wrote and during an interview with a Fox News reporter.

DNA evidence wasn't as advanced or well-known by the populous at the time, so the defense spent a lot of time trying to cast doubt over the whole process, potential contamination, validity of the science, brought in a ton of other experts to cast doubt on the methods.

OJ had a damn good defense team. The LAPD made a good bit of procedural errors. So did the DA. The DNA technology they used was still new and the defense was able to plant the seed of doubt in the jurors.

Most important, this trial occurred a few years from the Rodney King beating and LA riots. People still didn't trust the LAPD. It didn't help that one of the investigators, Mark Fuhrman turned out to be a racist.

Fuhrman, during his investigation actually found blood in OJ's Bronco, and before that was aware of OJ's domestic violence issues but that didn't matter because the defense focused on his racist language in the past.

Once that seed was planted, it was over.

I remember my mother talking about how everyone white at work was in shock and disbelief the rest of the day and everyone that was black was cheering and in great spirits. I'm simply stating facts, not any opinion.

You can watch reaction videos from that day in places like NYC, and it fully corroborates that.

Back when the trial was going on, I was 100% OJ did it.....then I read something about the son doing it and figured a son may be the only person on Earth you would risk going to prison for....these days I am 60% OJ and 40% son

I might be remembering it incorrectly, but I think the shoe print wasn't determined to be OJ's until the civil trial. Yes, they had the imprint and approximate size, and they knew it was a Bruno Magli shoe but they couldn't connect them to OJ.

It was the civil trial that found the picture of OJ wearing Bruno Magli shoes.

Again, it's been 30 years.
