I do not believe O.J. did it anymore. I remember watching the trial in 95 and gathering all the facts and back in those days it was the cool thing to say O.J. was guilty. After last night's episode and seeing that horrible human being Mark Furhman, it all came back to me. O.J. was framed by racist cops and they almost got away with it. Thank the universe for Johnny Cochran and for him exposing the truth. All politics aside, everyone knows he was framed.
I know you are a worthless troll, but since the topic interests me I'll bite.
I wrote a paper for a high school class in defense of Simpson based on fringe evidence that was presented but not focused on. Out of the 15 people in my class I was the only one to write in defense of Simpson and the only one to get an A.

Furhman admitted he planted evidence, he admitted he had it in for O.J. because he was black. That is case closed, not to mention the glove didn't fit so they had to acquit.
I think the juries got it right. In a criminal case, there was way too much evidence to convict him "beyond a reasonable doubt," as there were many doubts. That's why he was "not guilty." In the civil case, where it is basically " do you feel it is more likely that he did it or didn't do it," I'd say it is more likely he did, and thus I agree with the jury.
When I was younger I didn't believe he did it, because I just couldn't imagine how someone could be so blatantly sloppy when committing a crime and thinking they would get away with it, and that he was likely framed. I thought if he was going to do it, he would hire someone. But I was a teenager, and was not fully aware of how rage and anger clouds the mind, and people don't behave rationally. Now I am pretty sure he did it. But I would have had a hard time voting "guilty" with all of the evidence pointing to either sloppy police work, tampering, or potentially outright framing him, to ensure a guilty verdict - Note I believe any tampering there, was not a "frame" job to so speak, as much as it was to ensure it was an open and shut case (i.e. I don't think someone else killed them, and the police tried to frame OJ, I just think that they figured as a popular celebrity they would need extra help in winning the case).

Domestic violence can rare it's ugly head in many forms. This was a domestic violence case that went horribly wrong . It was never a set up.
Not a doubt in my mind that he did it. The suicide note and Bronco chase all but cinches it. Those were not the actions of an innocent man. Not to mention he all but confessed to it in his book.

Nice work again.
I thought it was funny how Cuba Gooding came out after starring in this. He firmly thought OJ was innocent before. Not now.

And the Bruno Magli's sealed it.
Can't remember but was a decent amount of evidence not allowed to be presented by the DA?

Yes...It still was a stupid move by Darden.
The blood evidence was so overwhelming. There is no way in hell the Police were that good at conspiracy that they could have planted Nicole's blood all over the multiple locations in which it was found. There would have had to have been a conspiracy so intricate that the CIA could not have pulled it off. Not too mention that there was no reason for the Police to conspire against OJ in the first place. He was a friend to the LAPD.

at least we all thought so Tom. I can still remember being at a stoplight when the verdict came in. I looked at the people in the cars. Everyone was shaking their heads. It had to have been the most listened to broadcast in history. One of those moments that everyone remembers where they were.

I remember sitting at the FD kitchen table one morning watching the news at shift change in the middle of the trial when this black deputy who had stopped in to hit the head and bum a cup of coffee said "I honestly believe the prosecution is purposefully throwing this case. I don't know why they would do it, other than they are so afraid to convict a high profile black man so soon after the Rodney King trial, but I believe that the average street officer could do a better job. OJ is going to walk, mark it down."
The show is phenomenal. It's kind of neat, because at the time of the trial, I was only 2 or 3, so I didn't know a whole lot about it, other than he was found not guilty. It's up there for my favorite tv shows ever.
