The trial became an absurd referendum on race, and some blacks celebrate it as a victory over LAPD, or law enforcement in general, or white people in general. Also as payback for Rodney King.

This. Didn't the lone black male on the jury stand and hold up his black power fist after the verdict? The whole thing became a "win one for black America" trial instead of a murder trial.

NOt sure bout the jury holding up the black power salute but they did go to the post verdict party at O.J's house afterwards. The Rodney King effect can not be discounted & the documentary got into that in great detail. Sad that he will still get his $250K NFL pension money when he gets out.
