OJ Documentary on Tubi

Anyone watch? I thought it was pretty good , with some theories that really added up. OJ had good defense lawyers, with lousy prosecutors. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me, the prosecution attorneys should've made that case outside of downtown LA. Remember, this was fresh off the Rodney King riots. Marcia Clark and her team really screwed up. Thoughts?

The best lawyers in the World would not have gotten that jury to convict.
The blacks on the jury had something to say and no evidence was going to get a guilty verdict.

That decision was made by Gil Garcetti. Apparently, Bob Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran played on his vanity, suggesting to Garcetti that a largely black jury would help him with re-election and the downtown courthouse would be better for media access.

Oh yeah. Former DA of LA? Son was mayor?

Watched this afternoon. It was very well-done. Two things I did not know:
1. The alleged confession to Rosie Greer; and
2. The "missing witness" contemporaneously called 9-1-1 when OJ nearly collided with her vehicle in the Bronco while (allegedly) fleeing the scene of the murder.
Tom Lange, the LAPD Detective who was first on the scene, has given many interviews (including this documentary) in recent years. For a guy who must be pushing 80, he is still incredibly sharp, and I'm always amazed at how he can recall minute details from the case.

It was a really shitty moment in American history.

I kinda disagree. A movement to another court away from downtown LA probably would've increased the chance of a guilty verdict. However, credit OJ's defense team, they played thier cards to perfection. After watching the documentary, the prosecution attorneys were weak. We all know he got away with murder.

No, dude. In the years that followed, jurors gave interviews where they said they knew he was guilty but voted to acquit. One even said it was payback for Rodney King.
One of the jurors was doing a black power salute during the reading of the verdict, for frick's sake.
OJ Simpson Juror: Not-Guilty Verdict Was ‘Payback’ for Rodney King
I do agree with your point about venue, though. They should have gone to a place where people give a shite about the rule of law.

What is the name of this documentary?

They showed a literal trail of blood from the murder scene into OJ's bedroom.
There are only 2 conclusions a reasonable jury could have drawn from the evidence:
1. OJ participated in these murders, OR
2. The LAPD killed these people with the express intent of framing OJ for the murders.
There is no other reasonable alternative hypothesis that accounts for the evidence. Is the 1-in-a-million scenario #2 reasonable doubt, particularly without affirmative evidence of this possibility?
