Explore the multifaceted world of the ex-NFL running back turned broadcaster, actor, advertising icon, and even convicted felon. Unravel the mystery: Did O.J. Simpson truly commit the infamous crime against Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman? While popular sentiment leans toward guilt, remember that a jury of his peers once rendered a verdict of 'not guilty.' Dive into the discussion and let's uncover the layers of this captivating saga.
2024.05.18 03:30 Broadlands808 Ron Goldman Girlfriend
I watched the OJ: Blood, Lies and Murder doc and they mentioned that Ron Goldman drove his girlfriend's car over to drop off the glasses at Nicole's. I'd never heard about him having a girlfriend. Has she ever come forward or done any interviews? Not that she owes anyone anything I just found it interesting I never knew.

2024.05.17 02:59 Spiritual_Frosting60 Woman fires cook for exulting verdict
I finally got around to reading Dominick Dunne's Simpson trial book, Another City Not My Own. In novel form Dunne's alter ego, Gus Bailey, essentially reports on how upper class white society perceived the trial & verdict. Like Dunne, Bailey is the father of a murdered child who did not get justice from the system, so his sympathies are passionately with the victims (though he does befriend Simpson's family during the trial). Near the end, after he returns to NYC, one of his society friends, Kay Kay Somersby, boasts of firing her cook "on the spot" because the woman exulted when learning of the verdict. Sadly it doesn't occur to Bailey to suggest Somersby call the cook, apologize, & offer to reinstate her. With a raise.
Nevermind Rodney King. Black people have for generations stood by & watched all white juries acquit white people accused of harming black folk ... on those rare occasions when the authorities even bothered to intervene. In 1955 an all white jury acquitted the men positively identified as having abducted & murdered Emmett Till. They deliberated for 67 minutes: "If we hadn't stopped to drink a pop," said one juror, "It wouldn't have taken that long."
And so on...
Justice is supposed to be color-blind, sure. But that doesn't happen overnight. White folks had the opportunity to feel just a bit of what black folk had experienced for decades. And, of course, the prosecution gave the Simpson jury plenty of pretext: e.g., Marcia Clark, in her opening statement, promised to prove that Simpson went over to Bundy planning to kill Nicole. Surely the jury's thinking: his kids were there, right? It's possible, too, that a sinister black nylon bag found in the Bronco led the prosecution to believe he intended to use it to dispose of her body, only to have that plan ruined by Goldman's appearance. They would later learn that the bag was standard equipment for all Ford Broncos. Of course there was the the knife, the gloves—though I reckon OJ probably carried a knife with him much of the time (I do, too, though not as a weapon). Anyway, my point is among other goofs & gaffes the prosecution never recreated the murders—how they went down, who was killed first. And certainly they couldn't prove Simpson planned to kill Nicole when he went to Bundy that night.
Though the verdict was a tragedy, there was also a certain rough justice in it that so many whites failed to see. I haven't looked at any studies lately, but I wonder if juries aren't become more color-blind in the past three decades.

Questions around exact time of attack, why nicole was outside before ron arrived and more are all answered by this re enactment. https://youtu.be/gqpvNQZxCtg?si=ifKu2EQfqx3ppo2X The commentary which is based on the autopsy report and the coroner's testimony are also quite convincing as to how the attack occurred. https://youtu.be/x1_yKNx80iY?si=gj_76AZht5ozVq03 Trigger warning for both of these videos

2024.05.17 00:41 redditisinmyheart Did Nicole dating so many people after her split, piss off OJ even more?
So I just watched the Netflix documentary and it seems when their relationship was nearing the end, Nicole just got involved with a string of men. First, she had an affair with Marcus Allen (they denied it but it has been claimed by many people who knew them that they had an affair) when she was still together with OJ. Then she starts dating this restaurateur guy (Keith or something). Then she becomes "friends" with Ron Goldman (who was also killed in the murder).
"Friends', really?
Look up photos of this Goldman guy. he was a model and a pretty good looking guy (Methinks he resembles Michael Douglas a bit). She is just friends with him? Oh come on! On a side note, that makes me question what kind of a character she had

2024.05.15 11:43 Available-Champion20 "He's just a serious person"
Marguerite Simpson in 1967 talking about the USC college campus.
"I love it.....it's like a resort.....it's beautiful"
Marguerite on OJ same interview.
"OJ is very serious.....he loves football......he's just a serious person".
Right at the start of the "Made in America" documentary, and 5 months into her marriage, look at the contrast between Marguerite's words about the campus ("love") and her newlywed husband ("serious" X2).
Faced with a television camera and asked about her husband, she doubles down on how "serious" he is. Adding that he "loves football". I think it's foreboding that these are the things she has to say about her husband and what "type of guy" he is. It's a refreshingly honest answer and portrayal. There is no hyperbole here, absolutely nothing about any love and care he provides at home or towards her. Just football and seriousness.
He's either away playing football, or he's being "serious" at home. I take this to mean everything had to be just as he liked it, and if it wasn't things could get serious. There was likely overarching control over Marguerite at home, which manifested itself in a "serious" countenance, perhaps a sternness, and resulting annoyance from OJ if things were not "just so".
Of course this being late 1967, perhaps this fits the culture of the time. Patriarchy. OJ was providing financially, and she should be thankful and submissive. But such an early revelation of this "serious" side he seemingly possessed at home, contrasts markedly from the public image he always generated. Where laughing and joking, outward friendliness and socialising and partying were the order of the day. I would doubt this was the case at home.
I think the submissiveness of Marguerite was something he expected in every woman. I believe she acquiesced with his control and accepted his Jekyll and Hyde nature. And much later, when Nicole wouldn't tolerate this behaviour, he instinctively resorted to violence, coercion and threats, culminating in her murder and the murder of Ron Goldman. Marguerite's one sentence description gives us an early insight into OJ's countenance when living with a wife who he sought to dominate and control.

2024.05.15 03:38 KrispyBeaverBoy 2006: OJ Simpson Stars in the Prank Show Juiced-Attempts to Sell a White Ford Bronco.
O.J. Simpson is gone-dead from cancer earlier this year. Rewind back to the 90's. O.J, or not O.J. depending on who you ask, stabbed his ex-wife and her boyfriend to death in Los Angeles. The whole country was subsequently held hostage with round the clock O.J. coverage in the wake of the murders*. Its all anyone talked about and there was no way to escape it. There weren't thousands of channels to flick to, or dozens of streaming services available to seek refuge-in far away from the insanity.
However, after his acquittal he seemed to simply fade from public view-absorbed back into the stained fabric of American society. That was of course before he was locked up for nine years in 2008 for attempting to rob his own memorabilia at gunpoint. So what was he doing with his freedom in the years prior?
Nothing. Well, almost nothing. In 2006, executive producer Rick Mahr, famous for the highly-cerebral Backyard Wrestling series, decided it would be a good idea to tap into the reality show boom with an MTV Punk'd themed prank show featuring O.J. Simpson.
It was a one-hour special that featured O.J. himself engaging in a series of pranks ranging from dressing in rags while selling oranges on the side of a highway, to him serving and insulting fat customers in a fast-food drive thru. At the end of the gig, he'd come clean and tell the victim with a smile "you just got Juiced!" Most of the pranks fell flat on their face: people sometimes didn't recognize O.J. or didn't understand the prank, or the whole idea was just too damn stupid.
But the icing on the cake was the skit where O.J. attempted to sell a replica of his white Ford Bronco, which incidentally was discontinued for years after the murders (but that's another story, you can see below for a few more details). The Bronco even sported a real bullet hole, which The Juice himself signed right above it.
O.J. seems to reflect on the whole Bronco chase as simply comical. Is this some dark type of new-age therapy? "It has great escapability!" he keeps informing customers. Does he admit that there was a dead body in the car? Was it him who placed it there? I have never heard O.J speak so candidly about details from the aftermath of the murders.
Here are some exchanges between O.J. and potential 'customers' as reported in the NPR This American Life episode 564-Too Soon?:
All in all, it was a completely ill-conceived idea with even worse execution that somehow was spewed into existence. It reeks of a desperation for money from all parties involved, none of whom seemed capable of creating any well-written gags for the camera. However, it is memorable in the shock-value of seeing an accused murderer making light of the truck he rode in after he supposedly stabbed his wife and her boyfriend to death.
Most humans will live a rich, full life never knowing this even exists. For the woeful few who do see it, you can't help but leave with an overwhelming feeling that O.J. was a twisted and broken man at this point, straining to grasp at even the the slightest hint of his former celebrity and adoration.
\To most people born post 1980s, OJ Simpson was a famous athlete accused, then acquitted of murder who'd later serve time for a completely unrelated crime.*
But to the rest of us, OJ is the single most infamous athlete name of our lifetimes--the shockwave that was sent through the country when it was announced that his ex-wife and her boyfriend had been murdered in Los Angeles, was unprecedented.
Its impossible to recreate the magnitude of this mono-cultural event that was the OJ Trial, and words don't begin to describe the fall from grace of one of the most beloved sports stars ever.
We'll never be able to forget the image of the low-speed white Ford Bronco chase with dozens of police cars in not so hot pursuit, or the inhumanly long trial that fractured the country along racial lines, or the glove that don't fit (so you must acquit!).
To the younger generation: try to imagine waking up to read that one of the Manning brothers had been accused of bumping off their significant other. Maybe that serves to illustrate the disbelief that we were all hit with that one night in June, 1994.
After the 8 month murder trial (yeah, how many of you had forgotten it lasted that long?), OJ was a free man. Images of him happily golfing sent waves of anger through white America, who felt like justice was cheated by a slick defense team that highlighted the racist tactics of the LA police department. On the heels of the Rodney King video and subsequent riots, this was not only a brilliant strategy, but one rooted in a great deal of truth.
A civil lawsuit followed in which OJ was found responsible for the death of Ron Goldman and ordered to pay his family $33 million. To my knowledge, they never received a cent.

Man: Is there $10,000 in here?In another exchange:

Man: ...You were carrying it, you know?
O.J: Naw, naw. They say that, I was carrying about $3.
Man: $3?
O.J: Yeah, that's why they never brought it up in court.
O.J: It was good for me.He'd be locked up soon after this aired. Apparently only about 100 DVDs ever sold, and there are no other details about the profits made from the pay per view event, or O.J.'s fee for appearing in the special.
Man: Yeah?
O.J: Got me out of harm's way.
Man: ...Ok, I'll sit in it...there was a dead body in there.
O.J: Yeah. Well, um, hopefully there's no bodies in this thing. And I can guarantee you, the car has escape-ability. I mean, if you're ever getting into some trouble, and you've got to get away, it has escape-ability.
Man: (Laughing)

2024.05.13 15:37 Most-Pilot5086 Now that he is gone what are your theories or thoughts of OJ Simpson and his trial?
Upon his death close friends and family were asked to sign a NDA, my theory is he told him that he actually didn’t commit the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman but in fact took the fall for somebody else (I think his son) and that the government made the DA and the prosecution lose the case to avoid a repeat of the 94’ riots

2024.05.13 05:13 Lovelyterry Having trouble with Ron Goldman
Can you help me break down the timeline of Ron Goldman on the night of his killing? I get confused about the timing of him making it over to Nicole’s house; do you suppose he had been over for some time when OJ arrived? Or did he walk up and interrupt oj and Nicole talking? I mean the timing of him going over there and OJ going over to kill Nicole is crazy coincidental to me. They couldn’t have overlapped for much time at all, right? And OJ had no way to know Ron would be going over to drop off the glasses that had been left at the restaurant. But OJ clearly was going to Nicole’s to kill her, the knife and gloves suggest that. But I still wonder how it went down with Ron. I’d appreciate your theories.
Thank you

2024.05.12 00:50 RedGhostOrchid What I Learned From The People vs. OJ Simpson: People are easily fooled
The general public, including those chosen to serve on juries, allow themselves to be easily manipulated for specific results. I sit in astonishment at the number of people who truly believed that Simpson was some civil rights martyr. And don't tell me this was *just* payback for Rodney King. No, no. These people on the streets really believed that a rich man who did not give a shit about his community was being railroaded. People like this remind me of a current group of people who also believe some rich man who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself somehow really cares for them.
There were plenty of examples of racial injustice and police corruption for people to rise up against. OJ Simpson was not it. Some scandals and controversies worthy of public anger and protest: Joe Morgan, Operation Hammer, Stephanie Lazarus, and yes, Rodney King. He paid $50K a day to rich, prominent lawyers to make people believe that he was a victim. And to make people forget about Nicole and Ron. How infuriating it must have been to sit in that courtroom as members of the Brown and Goldman families and listen to the horseshit spewed by the "Dream" Team.
And I get the role of defense attorneys. They serve a crucial and integral role in the justice system. But what this team did was so beyond the pale, I can't imagine trying to sleep at night if I were in their shoes. They took a case about a battered, abused woman and an innocent bystander who were mutilated and turned it into a sideshow fraud. The utter lack of respect every attorney at OJ's table showed is just disgusting and grotesque.

2024.05.07 23:10 Kyle02NC Civil Suit
Following the timeline of events with the video, photo, and audio evidence - the following articles are helpful - the evidence points to her unfortunately pulling the trigger herself. That doesn’t mean he can’t be held liable and in fact he should and could.
There may be some here who aren’t totally familiar with the OJ Simpson case besides the fact he was acquitted. He was found liable in their deaths in a civil suit brought on by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
I really hope the family of Mica pursues this avenue and he is held accountable for how he contributed to her death.

ETA: I think OJ did it and its a pity the prosecution didn't rely on this (the footprints) more (than the DNA) at the criminal trial.

2024.05.06 04:06 Danpisaacson On the fence
I was in HS when the trial occurred and I was the only one in the auditorium who expressed relief when the verdict was read aloud. At the time, I had serious concerns about the blood evidence and the timeline, and grave concerns about Jason.
Since then, really within the last month or so as I’ve revisited the case, following OJs sickness and death, I’ve rewatched some documentaries, listened to Kim’s podcast, and read the transcripts. What I’ve come away with is the closest I’ve ever been to feeling OJ is guilty of the crime. But there are gaps that I cannot recall if they were proven or not.
I’m hoping that you all can help with the issues I have had and it might finally solidify it one way or the other.
Issue 1: The Blood; where it was, and where it wasn’t.
This is a big problem. Each side seems to be trying to minimize their side to bolster their theory. The State argues it was a horrifyingly bloody scene, enough to cover the assailants socks, shoes and gloves, and presumably their pants and shirt as it stands logically that blood that would soak one would not skip the other. But for someone covered in it, enough to smear inside the Bronco, there wasn’t enough to make more than the smears and despite there being deeply soaked footprints, no blood was found on the floorboards or pedals needed to drive the Bronco. Why no blood from a dripping finger cut on the steering wheel?
It seems to me that if you’re covered in the blood, you’d leave, not glancing smears, but standing small pools. Assuming he was wearing enough blood so as to leave smears only inside the bronco. Why once Simpson got to Rockingham, and hopped the 8’ fence, there was no blood or fibers on that fence? It would be impossible for a man if his age and condition to overtake that fence without sliding across it. That would smear it with his DNA, and definitely leave blood transfers.
The only thing that seems to explain this is that Simpson changed his clothes prior to getting in the bronco. The problem with that is the at would assume the crime was premeditated, which seems unlikely as it gave a very small window of time to commit the crime and get back to Rockingham unseen. Also choosing a pair of shoes that only 230 people had in the world isn’t something you logically would do if you’re planning it out.
Jason Simpson remains a very hard fact to overlook for me. To date I’ve heard the State dismiss him outright, but never specifically refute the evidence against him. Again, I don’t have a problem laying blame at OJ; I personally think he was a horrible person, but I can’t get past this.
Jason had a history of violence, mental illness and stopped taking his medications. He had access to the murder weapon type and a criminal history using a knife to assault someone. His journals showed a rage centered on others and a fear he had he’d hurt someone. He had motive, given Nicole’s dismissal of his achievements. He had opportunity and no alibi as his time card was the only one that was hand written when others were electronic punched. And he drove a jeep that could have had much more blood in it.
One curious note for me was that the first person to confront OJ after the chase was Jason, who approached the Bronco and was seen yelling into it before being ushered away by the LAPD. I’ve never heard what was said by the two, and while I don’t think it would have been an admission had Jason played a larger role in the murders, it does make me wonder if in his excited state at the visual of his father about to die by suicide, if he would have uttered something telling. Does anyone have a source for what was said?
OJ hired a defense attorney for Jason the next morning, before he hired on for himself. That has always looked really bad. And lastly, cell phone records not disclosed until after the trial, because they were so new at the time, show Jason called OJ the night of the murders, before OJ talked to his girlfriend, and before his limo to the airport.
What I’ve centered on for years is one of two scenarios:
1:) Jason was angry for Nicole standing him up. He called his father to vent and said he was going over there. OJ tried to talk him out of it, but couldn’t and decided to run over to stop Jason from doing anything stupid.
He got to Nicole’s condo and parked in the back. By then the murders were done. He saw Jason and ushered into the Bronco where Jason admitted he hurt them. The neighbor in a sworn statement saw the bronco with two men sitting inside. OJ, in disbelief, got out and went down the steps of the condo coming upon the bodies and leaving the footprints.
He went back to the Bronco, had Jason give him his clothes and told Jason to get rid of the knife and Jason got in his keep and took off.
OJ drove fast back to Rockingham, saw the limo was early, and looked for a way back inside. He hopped the fence, but first, tossed the bundle of bloody clothes over first. Once over, he banged into the wall alerting Kato, he then grabbed the clothes and ran back into the house, leaving the glove in his haste.
The limo driver saw OJ in dark clothing. If he had the same clothing as he had when the murders were committed, the aforementioned blood transfers would have happened.
OJ ran upstairs leaving drops from the bundle. But nothing significant from his shoes or anything else indicating he was wearing soaked clothes. No blood was found in the drain, indicating a shower didn’t rinse off blood.
Finally, OJ got rid of the clothes on the way to the airport.
What’s required for this is a coverup by the police to plant evidence, primarily the glove and socks which is supported by the animosity in Furman and the sudden appearance of the socks that weren’t there in earlier photographs.
2:) OJ went to Nicole’s after Jason called and told him something that upset him. He parked in the back, went to confront her. She answered the door with a knife and that enraged him. (Supported by OJs agent) He hit her. And then he heard Ron approach, and ducked into the bushes. Ron ran to Nicole’s side, who would have only had minor wounds. This transferred head hair from Nicole to Ron which was found.
OJ came from behind grabbed Ron and stabbed him, Ron spun around taking a glove off. And OJ slashed and stabbed him, punching an artery and causing him to collapse within a minute. OJ then went back to Nicole who was coming back to consciousness and killed her, and then went back to finish Ron.
He opened a wound on his finger he received earlier and dropped small droplets at the scene. And then he left back to bronco.
Jason was there waiting for him, having left the restaurant to stop an angry OJ, and saw what his father did, and Jason and OJ switched clothing. Giving OJ a fresh outfit and shoes so not to transfer large amounts of blood in the bronco. Jason took the clothes and the knife and disposed of it. OJ ran back to Rockingham. And from there cleaned up and flew to Chicago.
This would explain very little blood inside the bronco or house. As OJ likely wouldn’t have thought to take off his socks in the driveway with Jason. It would also explain how shoes covered in blood were never seen again and didn’t leave transfer dna on the carpet in OJs house, as the limo driver would have noticed OJ not wearing shoes.
Jason then disposed of the evidence and was visibly upset with his dad on video after the chase.
This still requires the glove and possibly the socks to be planted, which I do believe happened with at least the glove.
For me, Jason played a role. I can see both easily, and lean toward the second scenario, if for no other reason than it’s hard to see OJ risking life in prison for his son. But I can see Jason keeping quiet since he didn’t play an active role.

2024.05.05 20:17 autobuzzfeedbot 27 TV And Movie Scenes That Are Super Weird To See Considering What We Know Now
- This scene from The Cosby Show is super disturbing to watch now, considering Bill Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault after multiple women claimed he slipped them pills and then took advantage of them. One claimed Cosby called the pills "friends to help you relax."
- The scene from That '70s Show where Hyde acts out what's essentially a rape scene between a record sleeve and a record is also super disturbing in light of actor Danny Masterson's rape conviction.
- And the scene where Hyde says he sees himself in prison in five years feels strangely prophetic, considering Masterson is now in prison.
- Similarly, this scene from Glee is eerie considering that Mark Salling ended up being sentenced to 48–84 months in jail after he was arrested on child sexual abuse image possession charges, and then died by suicide.
- There are actually a ton of scenes involving Mark's character Puck that are super creepy to look back on, including this one where child sexual abuse images and their illegality are actually mentioned.
- There's this super creepy comment his character makes in one scene...
- ...Along with this one in another scene...
- ...And finally, this scene where an underage student asks his character to a Sadie Hawkins dance after he's graduated high school.
- This scene from iCarly is kind of sad to watch, considering that Friends star Matthew Perry died in his hot tub, with drowning being a contributing factor to his death.
- It's a little weird to see Chris Brown teaching anyone about women's rights (as his character does in this episode of The O.C.), considering his felony assault conviction after he severely beat his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
- In Heathers, two of the actors later had untimely deaths that seemed predicted by their characters. Peter (Jeremy Applegate) prays he won't kill himself — the actor later died by suicide. Kim Walker — who had the iconic line, "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?" — died of a brain tumor.
- This line Matt Lauer says on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is ironic considering his sexual misconduct accusations — and his sexist interviews with women.
- Does anyone remember this scene from Seinfeld where Elaine tries to convince her new boyfriend, who shares a name with a serial killer, to change his name? She suggests something more innocuous, like O.J., in reference to O.J. Simpson. The episode aired just months before Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered. Simpson would later go to trial for the murders, though he was acquitted.
- This scene from Parks and Recreation where Louis C.K.'s character calls another character a pervert is weird to see now, considering C.K. admitted to exposing himself to women and masturbating in front of them.
- As is this line from Bananas, where Woody Allen mentions studying child molestation. Allen's stepdaughter, Dylan Farrow, has long accused Woody of molesting her as a child, which Allen has denied.
- Actually, a lot of Woody Allen movies are concerning, especially Manhattan, where his character dates a 17-year-old and it's established that they're having sex.
- Back to Glee — this anti-drug verse Finn sings is super sad to watch back considering the actor, Cory Monteith, died of a drug overdose.
- This scene from the Jackass Backyard BBQ Special is also sad and prophetic considering Ryan Dunn died in a car crash where he was driving, also killing his passenger.
- In a lighter example, this line Ben Affleck says in Jersey Girl is funny considering he would later play Batman.
- This line from iCarly is definitely ironic considering when iCarly was rebooted, it was made without Sam.
- This scene from Terrifier 2 is kind of funny to see considering Jeffrey Dahmer became a huge Halloween costume the very same year this movie was released, after the Netflix series on Dahmer starring Evan Peters blew up.
- This scene from The Good Place feels eerie in light of the COVID pandemic that would occur two years later...which was a flu-like virus that potentially came from bats.
- This line from Scream feels almost like dark sarcasm now, considering all the school shootings in America.
- And this line from Law & Order similarly didn't age well.
- This scene from Friends — where Chandler jokes about bringing a bomb on a plane and then gets detained by the TSA — aged poorly before it was even released. They actually had to completely replace the scenes in the wake of 9/11, which occurred after the episode had been filmed but before it aired.
- Mel Gibson once guest-starred on The Simpsons, and his character joked that he was too lovable and that cops refused to give him tickets. Notably, Gibson would suffer a significant fall from grace after he went on an antisemitic rant while being arrested for a DUI.
- And finally, we'll end on a positive one, also from The Simpsons: when the show mocked John Travolta by making him a bartender at a '70s bar just weeks before Pulp Fiction flung Travolta straight back into the A-list.

2024.05.03 02:20 Nostalgicstat99 OJ Simpson Guilty of Innocent? (School Assignment)
The case of O.J. Simpson former football star was charged (should have Been convicted) with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her “friend” Ron Goldman.
The trial drew the western world alike, as by Simpson's Defense "not guilty" phrase "If the Gloves don't fit, you must acquit", with the discussions on racial prejudice.
The case showed flaws in the US legal system and the Medias interference. Simpson was later found liable in a civil trial for wrongful death.
The case is a significant cultural topic, about race within the legal system as well as famous people evading jail.
The whole trial had happened during a tough time historically in the US, it was following the LA riots from 1992 r in which the US government were trying to avoid an unfolding of similar events
Racial Bias and Past Racial injustice movements were used for the blame that he was under arrest and blamed cause he was A Black Man. OJ though he was an African American had nothing to do with any community's helping the African Americans in need and seemed to be more whitewashed than anything.
When OJ Simpson was Interrogated, the investigators state he was calm and not just a normal calm, but his Ex-Wife had just been murdered in which anybody would have distraught event hough separated they care about that person There's Evidence not fully useable in court but was stated by Nicoles family that she had predicted her own death as well and past encounters with OJ and Her. One of OJ's Friends stated that OJ tried to convince him into stating they were with each other longer than they were, which his friends grew suspicious of him.
OJ had a previous 911 call in which Nicole resulted of her calling the police OJ and Nicole went on vacation to Mexico, and she had returned and seemed different as she had broken up with OJ and ended their on-again off again un-easy relationship, after the Vacation Nicole feared for her life saying OJ would do something noting that something was going to happen to her
The Racial injustice of the 1960s was the biggest thing that the Defense had to use against the prosecution to get OJ away from blame even though the DNA evidence at the time was complicated to explain Was hard to fight. DNA evidence is the best way of finding somebody guilty as well as undeniable proof.
In the end the defense was too good, and the prosecution lacked where the defense was strongest even though there was evidence that said OJ 100% did it. The Defense even admitted to tampering with evidence of OJs house In the Podcast.
I believe that with this case there is without a doubt OJ Simpson is Guilty. The defense lawyers were insanely advanced and more intellectual than the Prosecution, who had used Racial bias that OJ is Innocent cause the evidence was clearly against him with DNA and how his how was delt with. Everything Lead down to that he did murder them; you can even find today that it's always in favour of OJ Committing the sloppy and horribly handled murders, but I guess money talks and Fear too.

In the end the defense was too good, and the prosecution lacked where the defense was strongest even though there was evidence that said OJ 100% did it. The Defense even admitted to tampering with evidence of OJs house In the Podcast.
I believe that with this case there is without a doubt OJ Simpson is Guilty. The defense lawyers were insanely advanced and more intellectual than the Prosecution, who had used Racial bias that OJ is Innocent cause the evidence was clearly against him with DNA and how his how was delt with. Everything Lead down to that he did murder them; you can even find today that it's always in favour of OJ Committing the sloppy and horribly handled murders, but I guess money talks and Fear too.
