Really everyone says he did it in that documentary, save for F Lee Bailey (who is human garbage that I look forward to his death) and OJ's best childhood friend (seems like a nice guy in denial). The jury says they let him off due to Rodney King and the defense (save for Bailey) refuses to say what they believe if OJ is innocent (ie: they openly admit that of course he is guilty).

It's an amazing documentary everyone needs to see. It's a damning piece of evidence against him as a human being. The murder scene in that documentary is absolutely horrifying, and only a monster who is passionate could have done this. frick OJ Simpson. May he rot in hell.

I don't think anyone really thinks he didn't do it.

I mean there were jurors in that doc that even said it was revenge for Rodney King.

I still remember being in my second grade class room and our principle coming in to tell our teacher that he was "not guilty." I don't remember shite from that year other than thag memory and it's clear what she was referring to. Strange how your mind works

I was in 7th grade going to 4th period science from third period English and in the hallway the channel one TV came on and had the verdict. The only reason I knee who oj was is because the chase was on my birthday June 17th. Lol I legit didn't care and thought justice prevailed lol


Back then there was not really 24 hour news like now so I mean that was kinda it, everyone else just moved on with the day

The audio of Nicole's 911 calls with OJ going ape shite in the background is bone chilling.

He wasn't found not guilty because he was innocent, he was found not guilty because the prosecution presented the worst case possible.

Innocent until PROVEN guilty.

All the defense team has to do is create reasonable doubt.

And Darden did that for them when he allowed him to try on the glove.

"If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" might sound stupid, but that's all he needed to say.

It's amazing that espn is going to win a Oscar in a year that espn has received nothing but criticism on here, much deserved in many cases.

He did it.

I knew it the first time I heard the news, nothing has swayed my opinion in all these years.

This! Some of you folks are too young to remember or appreciate just how crazy the trial was at the time and how on edge the country really was anticipating the verdict. The prosecution's case should have been a slam dunk, but they effed it up by allowing people like Mark Furman on the stand. You have to understand, in that era, people had an overall distrust of the LAPD, largely due to Rodney King. Also, the idea of DNA evidence was EXTREMELY new in the forensics world. The defense had no problems poking holes in it as being planted evidence because the LAPD effed up the crime scene and the tech was so new. This case was literally the birth of the 24hr news cycle and we at home were privilege to much more than the jurors ever were. We all remember the highlights like "If it don't fit", even though it was a f*cking leather glove soaked in blood...of course the shite wouldn't fit anymore, even with OJ's obvious acting trying to put the glove on. There were so many missteps by the prosecution, the glove being only one. At the end of the day, OJ walked because the prosecution screwed the pooch, not because he was innocent. If you need any further convincing, read the excerpts from "If I Did It", the guy all but lays out exactly what happened that night.

Yes the prosecution screwed up but at certain point when the jury is hell bent on revenge for Rodney I guess nothing matters. Not excusing prosecution mishaps, I just think the jury deserves more blame after seeing documentary.

8,760 hours in a year.

They got 8 of em right.

ETA:

Maybe 11 if you count the Espy's in a non-Bruce Jenner getting awarded for chopping his dick off year.

It was the end of Soap Operas. They lost so much of their viewership because the stay at home moms were watching the OJ trial on Court TV instead and the Soaps never got all of their audience back.

He was found "not guilty" because of the mysterious blood spot on the gate that was found days later, the glove not fitting, and the detective pleading the fifth when asked if he planted evidence.

It was enough "reasonable doubt", I guess. But OJ definitely did it and the jury made up their minds on day 1 that they were gonna let him off the hook.

And how the F is it legal for a defense team to enter a defendant's home and re-organize everything to paint a favorable picture of their client to a jury? That garbage had me rolling my eyes. Also, F all of them for turning it into a race case. I know they had to "do what they had to do" but that was nauseating.
