Those lawyers on the defense team are scumbags.

totally agree, but they were good at their job, no matter how despicable it was...

they had a ton of help though.... evidence recovery was shite, detectives not following protocol, the prosecution fricking up things during the trial, the jurors being biased and still having the Rodney King beatings in mind, Mark Fuhrman, etc....

hell, OJ basically hit the mother fricking epic of parlays with all the help he was given that his defense team DIDN'T have to do...

Barry Scheck is not a scum bag. Carl Douglas is beyond animated but Cochran is a pos

ehh, debatable... but he is a fricking genius of a lawyer.... you can't knock that about him...

straight up racist... and not really sure how much he really had to do with OJ's trial... seem like the "bench" player vs. Johnny and Barry being the "starters"...

quote:

Cochran is a pos

absolutely... but again, he was a great lawyer... if i was going down for murder, i'd want him fighting for me... wasn't afraid to push and prod, no matter how it made him out to be... that's a fricking lawyer...

Director Ezra Edelman was on Russillo and Kanell talking about the project. He said off camera Carl Douglas used his regular speaking voice and on camera he hammed it up and became the character "Carl Douglas"

Just finished the entire series. Pretty unreal to think after 8 months of testimony the jury came to a decision in 3.5 hours. Cochran and the media got in the jury's head. Jurors should've spent more time thinking about the murder scene.

Kind of made sense what the one juror mentioned about having 8 months to think about all of the evidence every single night.

I was hoping they would've had a follow-up to O.J.'s current state. They started the documentary by showing a broken man in fairly recent footage. I didn't know about all of the Miami days until watching this and guessing he's in even worse shape now.

Jurors were too busy being racists pieces of shite. This was about getting payback for King and sticking it to whiteys.

Really staggering how shitty the level the defense lawyers stooped too, but the prosecution was incompetent. They were really stupid. Clark and Darden were complete failures.

I'll never forget seeing blacks running outside celebrating after the verdict while driving home from LSU. Really sickening scene.

I watched this not too long ago, and I'm more convinced now, than I ever was, that he is guilty.

Race/racism + Mark Furman being absolutely chopped up by OJ's team of lawyers is what destroyed Marcia Clark and her team's chance of getting a conviction.

At a certain point the jury needs to be blamed for their incompetence too. The prosecution made some critical mistakes, but when the jury decides to overlook damning DNA evidence, well, I guess you just throw your hands up.

Well, DNA wasn't as established as the standard in forensic evidence that we know it to be today. Plus they ripped the DNA guy to shreds in cross-examination.

I thought it was strange that his lawyers were allowed to go into his house and replace all of the pictures of OJ and his white friends, with pictures of OJ and black friends, before the jury was brought in to see his place. Is that not considered unlawful in any way? Like tampering, or something?

Ito could've quashed it but didn't.
