Lots of mixed feelings on this one.
My own thoughts mirror a lot of the ones expressed here. I too think he probably got away with murder, and that the "not guilty" verdict was more a reflection of expert jury selection and a defense team who knew how to talk to that jury, than it was a reflection of the facts. But I don't KNOW that, and the folks who do know more than I do made the decision. On a larger scale, it does point out what I see as a significant weak point of our justice system, and that is media influence on the outcome. I'm not talking about the notorious Court Of Public Opinion--THOSE folks had OJ either outfitted for wings and a halo, or tried, convicted, drawn and quartered all before be blood dried. But over-the-top media "coverage" coupled with judges who seem dead set against granting changes of venue (the judge gets a lot of face time on these sensationalistic trials too, and human nature being what it is...) all too often seem to mean more than the facts. In any case, it is over and he's gone. R.I.P., OJ: you certainly didn't have very much peace when you were alive. |

GOOD RIDDANCE YOU SLIME BUCKET. How does that jury look themselves in the mirror!!! It was black payback. Wonder what they would say today. I lost respect for every member of the dream team. They defended who they KNEW was guilty. OJ slaughtered them.

Maybe you want to rethink that statement???? They needed to prove reasonable doubt, not ALL doubt. Too much evidence to even list.

Not sure what you are writing. The jury found a reasonable doubt. The prosecutors did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Emphasis on reasonable. Not all doubt.

Some jury! The trial was a circus. They did not convict him due to his race. Thank God the Goldman's won their civil case although the scumbag dodged paying them even pennies on the dollar.

The jury was prejudiced but the biggest problem was Marcia Clark. She couldn't find her way out of a closet.

Prosecutors kept pushing the "his DNA was all over the crime scene" narrative. It was his house, so of course, his DNA will be everywhere. That proves nothing.
The defense kept connecting that over-reach to every other piece of evidence they presented. The jury started questioning everything else, wondering what other lies were coming from the prosecutors. The lack of chain of custody of evidence, the conclusions that were not reasonably substantiated by that (now questionable) evidence, the constant hype over the crime scene. Even the famous gloves that shrunk - because they got wet, and the prosecution was clueless. So the trial did not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Case closed. Many believe he did it, many do not. One side will never convince the other side. |

So many first stone casters. Likely he was really guilty of murder and more, but what about the terrible things we have all done? Perhaps not murder, but just as evil in other ways. Ironically at first, but in reality not, even his sins were able to be fully covered by Grace. But, did he ever ask, is the only question. Humanly, seemingly unfair but amazingly, mercifully, available to all.

He can now rest easy, knowing the "real killer" is dead...
