Only if she visits him in the pokey.

How much better would this country be if he never existed?

Then we wouldn't have Kendall Jenner.

Does she even want one? I wouldn't.

I've just gotten through Part 4 last night.

This story is still so captivating to me.

It didn't help that I was in law school during the trial It is the most high profile criminal trial in U.S. history. It's a sociological phenomenon - here is a guy who transcended race, but because that was the only way he walks, his trial team made the case all about race - not O.J.'s race, but of race relations between black folks and the LAPD.

Very strange. And the strange characters it drew - setting aside the odd birds of the Dream Team, just having Ito, Clark, Darden, Gates, Lange, Vannater, Fuhrman, etc., plus O.J., Nicole and their circle of friends and associates. I remember thinking, "How are they going to fill 7 or 8 hours?" Now I realize they had to cut a lot of stuff.

Completely fascinating. And O.J. walking (he's guilty as hell) is simultaneously frustrating and understandable.

You weren't getting enough Jurors in those 12 to convict. Like I said earlier in the thread. It was over when it was decided to have the trial downtown. You might have had a hung jury, but that was their best chance. The prosecution had no idea what it was getting itself into.

It was over when a former Black Panther lied his way onto the jury.

Looks a hell of a lot better 20 years later...

No kidding. I didn't even realize it was her at first.

They would be able to print money from the ratings that would get and I'm surprised Kris Jenner hasn't floated it out there yet.

Maybe keeping it in the back pocket if ratings ever drop for KUWTK.

Juror #2 seemed to be a much more reasonable person than some probably expected.

Eh. She knows Simpson did it. She makes herself feel better by saying the prosecution screwed up. Goes to show how much of a role the personality of the attorneys plays in the courtroom. Look at the Casey Anthony trial. Jeff Ashton vs Cheney Mason. She fell for the Cochran charm. She was never going to rock the jury boat either. She clearly justifies is to herself by blaming the prosecution. Still no mention of actual evidence.

was the shoe even mentioned in the trial?

Yes. But more so in that the prints were a combination of blood.

Another piece missed by the doc was that the defense put up their own version of who killed her... Trained assassins hired by the drug cartels... I would say you can't make that up, but they did.
