This is true Since then the black jurors who have spoken publicly said they knew OJ was guilty. Remember, this was less that 2 years after the Rodney King trial. They wanted an excuse to let OJ walk


Don’t forget Latarsha Harlins. Killed by that Korean lady.

Trial was a cluster frick.

Judge wanted to be famous.

Yes to both of those things

Asst DA Christopher Darden decided to have OJ try on the blood soaked glove found at the scene. The defense knew that was coming and had OJ stop taking his arthritis medication so his hands would be swollen. it was a cluster frick from beginning to end

There's plenty of blame to go around for OJ getting off, but the bulk of the blame lays directly at the feet of Christopher Darden and Marcia Clark, who couldn't prosecute their way out of a paper bag.

Neither could lead a bachelor party to a strip club.

Yes it was and if it would have been his first wife, he would’ve been in jail without a tenth of the publicity.

NOPE. Wrong, there were plenty of people who celebrated OJ getting off. The same people who thought George Floyd deserved a gold casket. The same people who really thought Floyd couldn't breathe because of a cop.

They didn't just know it was coming they prodding them into doing it. They knew if the prosecution did it then it would be much more powerful.

He "found" almost all the evidence, was known to be openly racist, and served during a period where LAPD was known to be very corrupt.


So, OJ was framed by Furman?

He only found the glove. If the prosecution had known of his issues they could have excluded the glove and Fuhrman all together. They may have convicted based upon the rest of the evidence. His issues were the support for the “corrupt police” defense theory. Without him , there is no support for it.

Agree completely.

ETA: that oxygen thief Cochran actually compared Fuhrman to Hitler.

Didn't he plead to one count of using the word "darky"? That's what I remember hearing, anyway.

Like O.J., he died without finding the real killer. Sad

They put Furhman on the stand and asked him if he had ever used the N word. He said no.


All he had to say is that I probably said it when I was a younger man and I regret it now, and then that would have never come in.
