Graham Bensinger has a quality that most journalists no longer have and that is the ability to ask the right question and then to allow the person to answer the question without interruption
That is unusual in this day in time!!
well... its also easy when its bob costas....the man can just talk and talk and talk..try interviewing an idiot! lol..becomes a lot harder
It's 2 way..if the guest is unwilling/unable to fill the space..you have dead air.
He’s a solid C
great journalism
When you have a great storyteller, ask the question and don't interrupt. Great job by the host not inserting himself into the story.
Yeah so much better than someone like adam carolla who never shuts up while interviewing people
It’s Graham. He hasn’t interrupted anyone since the second grade
@@codyherman2977 which is great. Much better than adam carolla who interrupts his guests all the time
It's a little too late to tell this to Howard Stern 😄
Yes indeed--I stopped listening to Marc Maron's podcasts for that reason.
"wait a minute you did it" weird oj joking over the heinous crime
That's cause he's a sociopath
People were down on graham about his interviewing style but for me he's one of the best. Let's people talk and doesn't interrupt.
Totally. He seems to be goofy and lack confidence (at times), but I think it’s ultimately disarming and trustworthy so he’s able to get great stories. He’s really good.
i could listen to Bob Costas telling stories all day. What an iconic person
Meh..
You stold my reply. Lol Former Butler, Boston Celtics coach Brad Steven's Ditto.
hes way too impressed with himself...always has been. I interacted with him several times.
Bob Costas can listen to Bob Costas tell stories all day too and therein lies the problem. Truly great broadcasters never make the story about "them." Costas always tries to make it about him, one way or another, and that's why he will never be great, just good.
Yes could broadcast any sport
I've watched Graham for years.
Always gets the most intriguing guests.
Imagine being in a police chase and your first thought is to call Bob Costas.
Your comment made me laugh out loud. Well done sir!
Seems like a thing an innocent person would do
I think about calling Barkley every time i visit Krispy Kreme.
It's a 'Story" Fairy Tale Fable Pure Fiction lololol Duh! Harvey Levin? The Kardashians? Kris K? Bruce Jenner? Caitlyn? Greta? TMZ? Shapiro? F Lee Bailey? The LIST goes on and on,,,,,,on and on and on.....WOW!!!! Pure Fable
LOOKING FOR PUBLICITY!!
Lifetime Rockets fan. Game 5 and the Bronco chase will forever be embedded in my mind lol
My best friends bachelor party was firing up when the chase was happening..lol
I came away doubly disappointed that night. First the rockets lost then OJ didnt blow his brains out
I was like Eight or Nine Years Old at the time, my Brother was an NBA Fan, I had no idea what was going on, I just assumed everything on the TV was Entertainment, this was the equivalent of The Moon Landing.
I was 12. My friend was staying over. We were eating pizza on the floor watching the rockets game. My mom behind us on the couch. All of a sudden she yelled out “It’s f$&@in OJ.” That was the first time I ever heard my mom use the f word. Truly memorable day.
Hey brother I wish I was there with you.
Rest in peace Nicole and Ron. We will NEVER forget what OJ DID.
OJ Simpson is the greatest football player ever to play the game. You'd kill a few people as well if you had reached the pinnacle of your potential, all right? Can't make ketchup without squashing a few tomatoes 🤷♂️

Nah it was definitely his son.
@@wick764 damn his son set his father like that by leaving his blood and wearing his ugly ass shoes
@@little.bear344 enjoy eternity with Lucifer in Hell. No,we would NOT kill anyone especially over jealousy. I hope the flames of Hell are cozy for OJ.

@@simondaughtry4619 Did you notify law enforcement?
😂

Epic!
This is so good! Love seeing this natural mentor relationship, Graham.
First time I’ve heard something new about that case in 30 years. Great interview
How he got away with murder is so disgusting.
Because he didnt do it
OJ walked free....that was the price America paid for being racist. Sadly, not much has improved in 35 years.
Bob Costas?
@@proudlysouthafrican4368 OJ is 100% guilty. Period. There are literally MULTI-MILLIONS to had if ANYONE can prove anyone else was guilty OTHER than OJ.
....no one has EVER been able collect ALL THAT MONEY. Ask yourself, "Why?"
Furthermore, let's NEVER forget OJ lost his Civil Trial.
ANYONE who truly believes OJ is innocent is IGNORING the law, facts and truth.
Two words. Mark Furman.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY. THERE ARE SO MANY ANGLES & PERSPECTIVES ON THAT TIME IN 1994 TO THE VERDICT IN OCTOBER OF 1995 AND THEREAFTER
The Bronco chase was the most surreal thing I have ever witnessed in my life. ... If he hadn't been O.J. Simpson he would have died that day.
True. Any other black man is shot 113 times and the planet would applaud.
I like how even after that, the murderer gets off free.🤔
If he had been white they would have gunned him down.
@@wildestcowboy2668 swing and a miss.
I hear there is an "O.J. Simpson Edition" of the new 2022 Bronco.
I love dark humor, but if I were innocent and/or had a shred of common decency, I would probably, you know, draw the line on making a joke about my wife's murder shortly after it happened. But that's just me.
Ex wife. Dark humor is great for an ex!
@@Rayallwayznot for a wife that just got her throat slit and your accused of if !
Norm Macdonald always had great things to say about OJ.
Lol yeah, the best.
Lmfaooo what a stupid comment
Norm held nothing back.
@@MaxxxD13 have you not heard the jokes from norm about OJ
The worst part was the hypocrisy
Every Costas story is about Costas. Literally incredible.
Bet every thought Mark has is about Mark. Figuratively incredible
Dude wears his mirror out....
@@Oprtnst 🤣🤣🤣
As a criticism that makes no sense!
Bob is a Little man in every sense.
Cannot believe I’m reading comments from people who actually believe OJ didn’t do it. Unbelievable after the emotion of it is gone, and so many years have passed, anybody could be naive or dumb enough to think it wasn’t him. Wow
Those people are either ignorant. Weren't alive to live through it or trolls. Possibly all 3. His own kids think he did it. His best friend thought he did it. 4 of the lawyers on his dream team either gave strong indication that he did it or sidestepped questions stating the shoddy handling of evidence gave "reasonable" doubt.
I actually disagree with that. Only an unreasonable person would believe that. Mr. Johnny turned this case into a civil rights movement. 27 years later, nothing has changed. So he picked the wrong TOOL to back for his movement.
It’s people that justified the Rodney king beating that’s why we rooted for him
The same people who believe in Qanon, Alien Lizards and that President JFK is still alive!
Most people are idiots.
@@deandreray3500 but that only served to work against the cause.
I had never heard of OJ Simpson until his murder trials. He's guilty.... he did it!! Bob Costas isn't lying about OJ Simpson here in this interview.
He was a poster boy because the bronco chase Football player and movie star did hertz type writer and sone other commercials
OJ was 3 weeks old when he did it. That's why you never heard of him. He was an infant
OJ Did it.
Ok and that jury belong in prison
Don't think so
Controversial take....
I agree with you 💯 percent he is guilty and should be locked up and throw away the key in my opinion Rest in peace Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Lyle Goldman you both didn't deserve to die
OJ was innocent.
OJ blocked me on Twitter. I tweeted that I think he took the left glove off because it must be difficult to open a folding knife with gloves on.
Who hired Johnny Cochran to represent O.J king world Hollywood production company.
If bob had asked OJ questions about the murder live on air during the nba finals that would have been next level huge
Yes, I wish OJ could have reached him.
Costas should write a memoir. He is incredibly eloquent and has countless great stories within and outside of the sports world.
It would all be about himself.
The fact they’re willing to give The Killer airtime, recognition, and even say his scumbag name is mind boggling. Like Fred Goldman once said, “He deserves to be forgotten about.”
That joke killed 😂😂
Sadly he’s still a free man….a murderer who got away with it. Sickening he was joking about it …says a lot about his twisted mind at the time. Bob is a refreshing interview…you can feel his truth.
Johnny Cochran made the jury believe that Mark Furhman is a racist and the Juice was in Chicago on business.Tampered evidence and messy crime scene with a Hollywierd twist.Only in America
Guess who’s’ been doin gettin way with murder for hundreds of years man?
No different to many politicians
OJ wasn't in love with Nicole, he was Obsessed with her !!!. Big difference.
So, you were joined at the hip to both of them.
@@yankee2666 , I don't understand what you're trying to convey ??.
@@claudiasimpson4386You don’t know them personally.
Just a prize and her family enjoyed the $$$... I'll never understand abusing a woman. What a POS
100% guilty. Never had a doubt. Evidence/motive was overwhelming. Good lawyers, nothing else.
@Sheha Nagaraj Johnny was good at twisting the evidence to make it look like a conspiracy at that time. But the overall physical evidence showed there couldn't have been any conspiracy.
@Sheha Nagaraj There was about 1.5 mL of O.J. Simpson’s blood assumed missing from a vial of evidence. The LAPD could not counter the idea of “lost blood” because there was no documentation of how much reference blood was taken from Simpson as evidence. The person who drew the blood could only guess he had taken 8 mL; only 6 mL could be accounted for by the LAPD.
To add to the problem, the blood was not immediately turned over as evidence but was carried around for several hours before it was entered into the chain of custody, allowing for speculation of when and how the 1.5 mL of blood may have disappeared.
@Sheha Nagaraj you are crazy. Glove didn't "fit" because it was dried up and he had a latex glove on underneath while trying it on for the prosecution. Further more his blood evidence was said to be 1 in 170 million chance it was someone else's. DNA doesn't lie. In addition to the bloody shoe prints that were traced back to the Bruno Magli's he said he never wore but they had him on camera wearing them. He also changed his story a bunch of times as well. And what innocent man goes on the run with a disguise, passport and $10k in cash while holding a gun to his head?? Riddle me that. Guilty...bottom line. That guy got away with murdering two people in cold blood.
@Sheha Nagaraj That is not true and you should get informed. And you patently misunderstand the use of the Fifth in this case.
@@joeyzasa7383 allegedly got away with killing two people...🤦
You see the title of this video and you click on it. There’s no way you don’t click on this video.
i was pulling into the local post office and the guy on sports radio read a deal he had ripped off the teletype or off the computer, and it said they had found a drop of blood on the handle of OJ's vehicle and more blood inside it. i thought, sweet Jesus, he DID this. It took me a few days to accept it even after I knew it had to be true.
Costas was put on this planet to talk. Such a great voice.
An innocent man that "didn't do anything" would not be running from police like that.
So true.
Well doctor Richard Kimble did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
You might if your bein railroaded. Remember, prior to this OJ went straight to LAPD and insisted they take his blood. Guilty man doesnt do this.
@@Jim.Jim.32 an innocent man knows how he got deep cuts on his fingers too. Consistent with a knife, no less.
@@shagsmith3410 The cut occurred in his Chicago hotel room this was backed up by a half dozen witnesses, including the front desk clerk.
Bob is an amazing story teller
Incredible story. Bob Costas is a great story teller.
I took an FBI class from someone who worked on this case. After telling us some details, I asked sarcastically "so O.J. did it." He just started laughing like it's the stupidest question ever.
So did he?
@@daibm5392 Who cares?
@@chrisdell5679 You do!! Lol
@@daibm5392 Nope. Nice simulation of second grade recess.
@@chrisdell5679 Nice simulation of 1st grade recess. You obviously care about my comment, that's why you came back LMAO
I was in the middle of smoking weed at a friend's house on Long Island with two other friends when the Bronco Chase just stayed on the set. We were clueless and bewildered by this phenomenon.
Do you still wonder why you were so bewildered?
One thing that hasn't changed since OJ Simpson tried calling Bob Costa during his desperate Bronco ride is his profound stupidity equaled with his unbridled arrogance.
I remember The Howard Stern Show called a fake phone call and said they were a neighbor of OJ's and watching the Bronco surrounded by the police, it was hilarious, finally they go oh my oh my Bababooey
Costa knew he was guilty.
da the whole country knew he was guilty
@@dfygoh3215 "dude"
@@dougbeatle1664 nothing personal
He wasn't guilty
Like most people knew with a brain ! Innocent men don’t leave their kids side after they brutally lost their mother
Oj did it and that pos shouldn't be walking around
Bob Costas is a legend! Great interview!
Barf.
great OJ pic during the NBC broadcast. nice gloves!
O.J. is a sociopath for making jokes about his wife’s vicious murder.
also for murdering her
At least he's not a hypocrite
I wouldn't say he was a sociopath, just plain stupid !!
Psychopath
That's terrible. It's bad enough that he's a murderer, but to hear he's a sociopath? Now I've lost all respect for the man.
Can you imagine a split screen between a silent Game 5 of the NBA Finals and Costas talking with OJ in the Bronco?
I'll refrain from saying my true feelings about the OJ situation. I don't want to be banned lol
I watched the whole trial. Unbiased opinion: guilty. When the jury came back and said not guilty I couldn't believe what I just heard.
All I see in my mind is OJ rolling down the stairs at Dodger Stadium in a wheelchair and goes head over heels from upper level over the rail, yikes.
Nordberg!!
@@texas324 LMAO
Yeah everyone was watching it and 13 year old me was cussing at the TV for them breaking away from the NBA finals to show the most absurd police chase in history, and then a zoom shot of a front window to OJ's house.
He made a joke about brutally slaughtering two people, one being the mother of his kids.
Remember watching that freeway chase live on CNN International in a Shanghai hotel room first thinking why is CNN showing a car chase until I realized what was going on.
"I see O.J. and he's looking mighty scared!"
Baba Booey to you!
Bob a great Journalist. Loved Bob's "Later" show.
Bob: "Uhh...hello?"
OJ: "Yo, Bob. It's me, OJ, man. What's up, brotha?"
Bob: "Juice! Good to hear from you. What's that noise?"
OJ: "Just calling from the car phone. Hey, man. Mind if I swing by and leave my hat with you? I don't want 'em takin' it as evidence or nothin'."
Bob: "You wanna leave your hat with me?"
OJ: "If I could. Just wanna keep it nice."
Bob: "Did you say evidence, OJ?:
OJ: "**laughs** Oh, yeah. Nah, man. Just the Juice joking around. I call it my 'Lucky Stabbin' Hat.'"
Bob: "Umm...you know what, I'm just on my way over to Ralphs. Maybe some other time, OJ."
Wait a minute wait a minute you did it 😂😂
I lived in LA during this time and had a few "one degree separations" with the OJ case. People are still amazed at my run-ins!
I worked for two interior design firms, and with the first one, our client was Michael Ovitz formerly with Disney, who lived across the street from OJ and Nicole on Rockingham. Went to Ovitz home once for delivery of items, and remember parking in front of OJ's house. He wasn't home, but I could hear kids from inside the house.
Second design firm, our client lived in condo complex half way up the street, from the murder site. She remembered being awaken by a car going down the alley, THAT night, because her bedroom window faced the alley.
I saw and met Kato Katlin, the former "houseguest" who lived behind OJ's house, once at my apt complex in West Hollywood. Kato shared elevator ride with me, said hello, then got off, to go see a friend? He just seemed a bit odd? 🤔
I was sitting at the corner of Doheny and Third in Beverly Hills, and a car driven by OJ's daughter, Arnell, pulls up next to mine, she looks over briefly, then drives off? 🤔
Finally, while working on another design project in Brentwood, saw OJ himself! Sitting on Sunset waiting for signal light to change, a white SUV (not a Bronco), turns left in front of me, heading east on Sunset.
His driver's window was down, as was mine...
I looked over to see F*****G OJ SIMPSON, look at me!
Let me tell you, almost 30 years later, I can still picture that moment, and get goosebumps, because I can say that I looked at into the eyes of someone who committed
a DOUBLE MURDER!
Chilling...
😨
Did you take it as a bad omen?
That was pretty good..but not surprising..the west side is a small geography..so makes sense you bumped into all those people.
I think it is long overdue for a competitive game of golf and catch-up with your old pal OJ, Mr Costas.
Or perhaps a game of “Clue”. OJ could tell Bob, “here’s how I would have murdered Miss Scarlett”.
He didn’t explain the main thing. What did he want to talk to you about?
Probably called to ask him why he killed his wife. Remember his cut finger and meeting OJ in prison story haha.
The tech guy didn't take messages, apparently.
Fascinating TY both
OJ nearly decapitated Nicole, thats how bad he slit her throat. He will get his Karma.
Were you there?
Costas is a true raconteur.
The fact that he put a gun to his head, means he was considering suicide based on what he had done
I have to admit, the wait a minute, you did it - is kinda funny.
You wouldn't think so had it been your mom or sister or loved one laying there butchered.
@@jeffparkinson5005 yes a bit heavy there, old boy. I didn't claim that I wouldn't. By the way have you ever heard of black humor? Ever engaged in it? The bizarre thing is that if you said 'no' I'd probably believe you.
you forget Bob is 70. he's had work done in the right places.
I could listen to these for hours. So fascinating.
Should've asked Costas on his fastest man in the world theory lol
All you have to do is watch his body language during the murders verdict, when heared that he (was not guilty) his reaction was not that of an innocent person , his reaction was petting his attorney on the shoulder that indirectly say, "I can't believe I just beat murder"....the reaction of an innocent man would have been far more much joy than he displayed. Oj has behavior problems plain and simple.
You're delusional if you think Oj committed those murders. I suggest you do your research
@@jadaviousburnett78 and you must be a drop out .....blacks are seriously smart but you and OJ are not one of them.

@@jadaviousburnett78 l have to say after seeing the trial on YT and looking into case in more depth l feel it isn't cut and dry about OJ, there seems to be many grey areas, l wonder if we'll ever know the truth?

Bob Costas is one of the great storytellers. Could listen to him talk for hours.
Costas casually says the Knicks won the game. Great story teller.
Graham should have OJ on. They both smile a lot I’ve noticed. You never know sometimes.😂
It took 9 months to get an acquittal when 9 words from the defense could have accomplished the same result.
Turn to the jury and say:"You Black."Point to O.J. and say:"He black."Then turn to Ito and say:"Your honor,the defense rests."
Cause black folks are always getting all the breaks in the justice system? Or was this a cute.
@@DanielBarberMusic Check out the shoplifting epidemic.
Costas is such an eloquent speaker.
He was abusing Nicole for years and then
he went too far. The police were his buddies and never did anything to protect her.
thats what bothers me. they were his buddies then they got blamed for framing him. any other black man wouldve been shot during the chase. they treated him great, he had cop fundraisers and then his lawyers changed the narrative.
@@markmac2206don't forget the facts.. The facts SHOW that evidence was clearly, distinctly tampered with.
You should check out the FACTS...
Wow. Good story. I lived in LA when this happened, and Costas is right, everyone was watching. Shocked. This just adds to the story even further, and we all know O.J. did it. Period. You can see it in Costas' eyes, too.
OJ simpson has passed away.
I wouldn't mind if Costas said back to O.J..... "Naw Nigga U Did It!"
the story about the cut on bobs finger is a new one, very funny
They used to call Jack Tatum "the assassin" and ask, "Why can't athletes like him be more like O.J. Simpson?"
I would hate to be one of those jurors and have to live with what I did out of revenge!
@richardwilson9560 - I'm not so sure it would really be an issue with most of them, that's the sad part!
Nothing was done out of revenge😢
@@8td8tr - You know that to be a fact because.........????? I actually heard that a juror admitted she knew he was guilty but voted to acquit as payback for Rodney King's incident!
That’s a rumor. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
@@HaliB75 - Bottom line is I don't believe much of anything that went on in or out of that miserable excuse for a court room! What I do believe is that OJ was a master at wooing women into his life, then realized he couldn't handle them not agreeing with whatever the "master" said to them. It is a proven fact beyond any reasonable doubt whatsoever that he could be (and was) a vicious, brutal, nasty individual with a temper to support that behavior. It's on record that at least one time Nicole had called Police saying OJ is going crazy and he is going to kill me, and will get away with it solely because of his star status in the NFL. Take a look at her after one of her several beatings by this animal, and I classify ALL men who exhibit this horrendous behavior as animals. There are no more excuses for this man's uncontrolled, vicious behavior.....NONE! His children and the world are better off without him.
great story.
Bob is both a great interviewer and interviewee….
The man ran 2003 yards in a single season . He gets a pass . A double pass . They should give him the dam Nobel prize
INNOCENT MEN DONT RUN

you have an interesting grasp for the obvious
Just because O.J. was extremely guilty doesn't make that brainless statement true.

well, not as recognizable as some others at the time. Michael Jordan and Jackson, Princess Diana, but he was up there. and i too thought he was innocent at the time.
Ya sure. A month or two before the murder, we could all read the newspaper about his latest assault on his former wife ! But, no way he could have killed her.

Allegedly did it...🤦
if you had ever butcherd something you would know 2 things 1 if what ever thing your butchering pig cow deer dog human and its living and you cut its throaght your getting sprayed 2 theres is so many tendens mucel ect that its very very hard to cut threw it takes multiple hacks or swipes a sawing motion if you can invisiualize it THERE IS NO WAY THAT WHO EVER KILLED RON AND NICHOLE DID IT ALONE ! That is why he got off the prosecution tried to charge him with something impossible for one man to do ALONE . i mentioned the heart beating and the spray bcuz there would have been so much blood it would have been impossible for him or a maid service to clean up that amount of blood in such a short amount of time My THEORY has always been the pulp fiction way . oj got 2 possibly 3 hard pipe pipe smoking niggas to do it and just had to let her know had to look her in the eye and thus got a little spray some but the guy that did it woukd have needed a suit
@Sheha Nagaraj Pull your gd head out .

The people who still believe that OJ was innocent of this crime are the same people who believe in Qanon, Alien Lizards and that President JFK is still alive for starters
All those who STILL doubt OJ is the killer....Just ask yourself...you're away on business...someone kills your ex, you return home and a few days later threaten to KILL yourself...not wonder WHO the killer was, but threaten to kill yourself!

I believe Bobs story but i’m unsure why the guy thought it was a prank when OJ called. He had to know that they both worked together @ NBC. If a guy claiming to be OJ tried to call me or something I would definitely think it was a prank but it doesn’t seem that crazy that he tried to call Bob Costas, a former colleague and very famous person in his own right
That’s very true. The guy should have gave it more scrutiny.
Bob Costas is an annoying, know it all tool, but his true story about the cut on his finger and OJ saying kidding around,"Bob did it!" was very funny. JMO.
@@carladaquila8190 gonna have to respectfully disagree with you about both of your opinions. I didn’t find the story Bob told to be funny; I thought it was insightful about OJ’s sociopathic nature but i didn’t find it funny
I also feel differently than you about Bob Costas, he’s not my favorite broadcaster but i think he’s pretty great and I don’t think he’s annoying either
Again, respectfully disagree. Life is complex. OJ is a murderer, but the joke WAS IMHO, funny. Again, OJ is a murderer but he was a very charismatic, charming guy who fooled most people. I find Bob Costas very elitist, snobby and pretentious. Again, JMO. Bob Costas was born as I was in Queens, N.Y. Trust me nothing fancy about Queens,N.Y. Again, I respectfully disagree.
@@Toadspring With you on both counts. The "you did it" comment was probably intended as cute, but under the circumstances said more about O.J.'s pathology than his humor. And Costas is essentially, to my mind, a well-spoken and insightful commentator, who is good at drawing out the humanity in stories. Confident? yes, and maybe that vibe that comes across sometimes as overconfidence may have developed from being a really short guy wanting to hang around much bigger guys! When his career first started, I didn't like him much (for the same reasons others are mentioning here), but over time I've come to appreciate him as a good communicator, storyteller, and voice for the flawed and sometimes amazing people who play, coach, and operate these sports we attach ourselves to. Check out his eulogy for Stan Musial.
😂 Ever the professional, Bob has to let us know that the Knicks won that night…
O.J. didn't do it...
He Cut Left
He Cut Right
THEN HE RAN LIKE HELL!!
OJ was a slashing runner....
Crazy story
Love bob , he is such a smart man.
You are easily impressed.
How did he cut his finger
DA JUICE IS LOOSE!
Living Legend....
The prosecution team screwed up in losing a very winnable case. The amount of EVIDENCE pointing the finger at OJ was overwhelming yet the star studded team of attorneys hired by him were no match for the publicly funded council. That and the fact that a jury of his peers were chomping at the bit to "level the score" against a " Black Man" proved to be too much to overcome. If you haven't already, read the book by Christopher Darden " In Contempt" detailing the inner workings and facts about this case and you will be 100 percent convince that OJ slaughtered his ex wife and her "friend" in a bit of jealous rage.
Apparently one of the jurors said "the bitch deserved it" he was never going to be convicted.
A black jury from south central would have never convicted OJ.
Now, did the prosecution do a good job? No, they were lapping up getting put on the cover of Time, being talked about in tabloids. The glove.
They were bad.
prosecution lost the case bye asking pepole to belive in something impossible . no way that was done alone or that oj did the cutting any fool knows this prosecution needed to prove he did it and once they charged him for something impossible it was a wrap if the charged him with conspiracy to commit Bam its a done deal but he didn't actually do what they said he did and if a jury is doing there job even if they knew he had it done they would have to aquit
Jesus Christ himself could not have gotten Simpson convicted. The verdict was racially motivated.
There was plenty of blame to go around, including the judge.
His attitude and cavalier demeanor in jail shouts out guilty to me ! Maybe I'm misreading him ? I personally would have been livid if someone killed my wife and I would be worried about the children and myself.Not laughing.
