Well...yeah.

The entire defense was that the po-lice planted the (considerable) physical evidence because we all know the po-lice are corrupt and rasis against black people. That was the whole defense. That's what allowed the jurors to discount all the evidence.

You don't remember Mark Furhman?

Once the race card was issued in that case it was over. Cochran did not need to do much work in the courtroom as the PR campaign had done its work. Still amazed though at Barry Scheck and his indictment of the DNA evidence. That actually was really good work from a purely lawyer and procedure aspect.

I'm curious if the police ever said there was two attackers there (four total people) at the scene? I'd never heard the two assailants theory.

Crazy that with a population of 30%, they made up 80% of the jury. And they admitted to being racist after.

The glove moment was pretty huge. The prosecution set the stage for that to be a momentous gotcha moment, and it was precisely that - in the exact reverse direction. That was ample ammunition for the eventual jury nullification result we saw. It was literally epic fail. That’s right, I said literally. And there was ample reason to have averted the debacle

He did it. Unfortunately, his defense team orchestrated an effective theatrical defense, and the prosecution made some silly mistakes.

By that time Clark was dead meat. The fact that she did not object to OJ trying on the glove with a latex or plastic glove on was less than minor league.

He still ended up living somewhat comfortably......after getting out of prison on unrelated charges. I don't feel a bit of sympathy for him.

Scheck did an outstanding job, but he had very mixed feelings about the case after it was over. He didn’t like the severity of the attacks on the cops, plus he seemed to accept the fact that OJ committed the murders

It was a favorite theory of Agatha Christie: a murderer who gets away with it has an overwhelming need to confess, simply because he has to let the world know how brilliant he was in getting away with it.

Think if SFP murdered someone. He’d be on this board, spilling his guts, inside of 5 minutes.

Asking OJ to try on the gloves is probably taught in law schools as a textbook "Do not."

And telling us how it wasn't acktually murder, but rather, using various loopholes, case law, ancients texts of old English law and generally pulling stuff out of his arse, a legal killing because they couldn't technically prove he did it, despite being caught on video and having a multitude of DNA evidence showing otherwise.

If a jury verdict is clearly tainted via tampering or other means, it is not impossible to detach double jeopardy and retry the defendant. It is exceedingly rare though.

Yep, and if he didn't actually physically do it, he damn knows who did. Some actually think his son did it.
