What if Fuhrman never did those tapes and testified?

The jury was going to let him go regardless.
You can create doubt, for those who want to believe in doubt, in any small way.
Look, they ripped up Ron Shipp, the black guy. And the jury bought it.
Cochran could have told the jury that Elvis was still alive and in the next room, and they would have belived him.
Cochran and OJ were stars.

The jury got "OJed" as was mentioned others were that got around him.

Can someone remind me what was the states theory of why OJ was behind the house where the glove was found?

I think he dumped the knife and bloody clothes in the Pacific Ocean, then joined the defense team in token fashion in order to not have to testify.

In essence that was the issue. Cochrane had to come up with an explantion for everything and Clark didn't have the ability to explain away anything.

What is the more offensive aspect to me about this documentary is the cops and prosecutors who completely botched the investigation and the trial are talking shite about the defense team. I get the Goldman family being pissed, but the prosecutors can suck it. Their righteous indignation today is patently offensive.

The defense did their job and the LAPD and the DA botched it in epic fashion.

Maybe, but it still had to be unanimous. That is the part that goes unnoticed by many. You can blame the blacks on the jury for ignoring justice and using their position to retaliate for Rodney King and years of injustice in their eyes, but how do you excuse the rest of the jurors?

There were 8 blacks, 2 hispanics, and 2 caucasians. Voting "not guilty" for purely racial motivations, as dishonorable as it may be, is slightly more honorable than voting "not guilty" out of convenience and in an effort to just go home. I fully believe this is where the prosecution fricked up. You can argue, and you're probably right, that the prosecution could never convince the majority of jurors to convict, but all they needed was one of the 4 four non-black jurors to stand their ground in order to get a mistrial. Present them a rock solid case and they would have done so. Every frick up during the trial made it less and less likely an unbiased juror was going to hold firm to a guilty vote.

Just think...If OJ had not killed Nicole & Ron there is no way the Kardashian family would be what they are today.........

Idk about that, Kim would've still made the tape with Ray J

For all of 0.8 seconds.

Tits are tits man

I will pause it and fap!

But, seriously, I think juror #2 was pretty reasonable. She maybe got caught up in the attorneys' style too much versus substance, but she thought Furman seemed trustworthy until the tapes and things surfaced. Him, Vanatter, and the asian dude's mistakes would have been tough for me to accept. And how did that gate have blood drops one month, and not the next?

Now, even if they had an air tight case, they were never going to overcome someone like Juror #9.

My money is on Kris' former hair stylist
