I don't know but I have always felt that OJ was found not guilty was a pay back for the not guilty verdict for the cops that got away with beating Rodney King an inch of his life. I could be wrong but it always felted that way to me.

^^ Very likely.

When black people cheered after O.J. Simpson’s acquittal, they were not celebrating his release, but defense lawyer Johnnie’s Cochran’s victory over a racist system of justice.

You are exactly right!


Its makes me wonder whats going on, when this is so obviously true, but then when it actually happens, so many people seem to be angry, outraged, etc. Its not exactly huge breaking news that a wealthy popular sports figure can get away with murder scott free! lol

OJ was guilty as sin. He got away with murder. Double murderer, deserve a hanging.

He was framed, and he was guilty. He hired killers, because he wasn't skillful enough to do it himself without getting caught. Apparently that was too complicated for the LA cops to get into their little squirrel brains, so they just went about planting evidence like they usually do.
The trial brought the California judicial system, including the judge, lawyers, and law enforcement officials, into deserved contempt.

Yes. They tried to frame a guilty man who could afford a dream team defense. The "single assailant" theory simply didn't hold water, which the dream team defense made clear. And the prosecution--which hadn't dealt with much better than public defenders before--were outclassed.

The US has the best justice system money can buy.

Interesting how nobody gets as exercised about Robert Blake being acquitted of murdering his wife.

That jury composition in that county convicts black defendants every day.

Just like Robert Blake.

If I was Goldman I'd have been practicing shooting a .50 cal long range now for years. I'd practice on an area that looks like a golf course.

It was a direct result of Fred Goldman winning 25 Million dollar lawsuit against OJ that caused OJ to give away all his valuables. Later he tried to get them back that's how he ended up in prison. Goldman hired the best attorney's money can buy his attorneys said if he had been the prosecutor OJ would be convicted Marcia Clark was the worst attorney ever I think she quit practicing law after that because her reputation.
