    Spot on. Judge Ito constantly did this - he would rule to try and appeal both sides, and was criticised for it at the time. He would, as the saying goes, "split the baby", in reference to King Solomon. He lost control of the trial because he was unable to make distinct, concise, and definitive rulings, without concession.
    He seemingly wanted to avoid being criticised by the defense, and to a lesser extent by the prosecution. In doing so his performance was criticised by everybody.

      The judge have to lean for allowing defence purported evidence more than prosecutors since the defence is usually will call for trial reversals if they lose, and reversals is the thing judges want

      @@hotdogwater9060 No, a judge shouldn't rule to appeal to both sides, they're not a debate moderator. They're supposed to adjudicate disputes and rule on issues, such as issues of evidence, based on the law. Every decision a judge makes just be impartial because the law is impartial, it leans neither one way nor the other.
      Ito's decisions on that case were questionable at best. Allowing a "mini trial" on the Fuhrman tapes, for instance, diverted the case from one in which OJs guilt or innocence was being questioned, to something else entirely.
      Ito was starstruck. He brought Larry King into his chambers and actually revealed to him his thoughts about which way he intended to rule on Nicole Brown's domestic violence tapes, in respect of their admissibility.
      He was remarkably lax, and allowed too many sidebars, eventually losing control of the courtroom numerous times.

      @@matiasdelgado9343 actually, yes, the judge IS a debate moderator. the judge isn't also jury, his literal only job is to keep the trial civil, make sure no one yells or starts a physical fight, and based on whether or not the jury finds the accused guilty, he will give a sentence. he is a judge, not jury, not executioner, not anything else

But, here’s what you’re not understanding: Mike Myers’s is both Canadian and of European descent. This is where your attempt to correct fails. This isn’t difficult. Mike Myers is of European descent. Assertions to the contrary are objectively false. It’s not a matter of opinion. When a person’s ancestors are from Europe, then that person is of European descent. Mike Myers’ parents emigrated from England.

    As a 20 year old watching and reading about all of this 25 years after the situation, it’s crazy to see that this trial was like a reality show, that anybody even remotely involved became a sort of mini celebrity, household names. Even the judge. The witnesses, prosecutors, etc. Seeing what Marcia Clarke went through on the FX show about this trial, I felt pretty bad. Ranting about her hair on daytime television? Who gives a fuck?

    My favourite documentary on this case is the absolutely brilliant OJ Simpson: Made in America. Puts the whole trial in complete context. Not being American, I never understood why the acquittal was so controversial. As a teenager casually acquainted with the case, I thought he was innocent and that's why he got off. As a young adult going into the facts of the case, I knew it had to be him and he got away with it because the prosecutors were dumb. Having seen Made in America, it's eye opening how the law and justice system is so easily manipulated and how it seemed for the first time that powerless people had a chance to make a point. However, that point was made at the expense of two innocent victims and I'm glad that the civil suit against OJ was successful.

It's ok to go for payback for the crimes of other people?? ..Are you crazy?? Stop seeing color. That MF did it and got away with it, not only because he's a rich guy, but also because many blacks are just as racists as many whites are. But truth sees no color, no matter what dumb racists say. Racism is a two way street. Everybody knows he did it. The problem is that many people think it's ok.

      What am I to say? Shall I congratulate you that you are not taken aback by the insensitivity of this sketch?
