You have to remember OJ Simpson was a real Role Model and hero in the African American community. He could do no wrong in the eyes of many

We cannot look at this case in the same vein we did all those years ago. Both blacks and white were unhappy that a Black Athlete had married a White Woman. The bitterness in the black community was almost worse than the feelings in the white cause black women resented their men marrying white women. Nicole was not liked by black women for this fact. Somehow they were more angry at Nicole than OJ for marrying outside the race. I think nobody even blinks an eye at interracial marriage now but those were different time indeed, even in LA.

Also OJ was on TV every day running through airports for Hertz RentaCar and other commercial endorsements. He was in movies, on TV. He was highly regarded by most blacks. He was rich and successful and it was an uphill battle to convict him especially with a racist detective on the stand admitting his bias.

This, along with the Rodney King riots.

It should have been enough to convict him!
What went wrong was:
The defense hired the "92 Chicago bulls" Of Legal teams.
The lead prosecutor Got "Jungle fever" during the middle of a murder trial.
The movie "almost famous" should of centered around Judge Ito not the Allman Brothers.
The LAPD
Those are The main Reasons Why O.J. walked free.
