These attorneys are insulting this jury’s intelligence! The defense created doubt and this jury rendered their decision based on that doubt!
Why would a judge seal Nicole's phone records? The phone records proves the timeline, but a judge sealed her phone records. Why? What are they trying to hide???
The fact that O.J. couldn't have done it because he was in a limo on his way to the airport when Nicole was still alive having a phone call with her mother at that same time. That's what!
Exactly @keona. They withheld that info
@@abrahamyohannes1521 Yes they did! It's so so sad and such a travesty too because the majority of people believe to this day that this man is a murderer. And he's not!
@@SheaBaby81 how do you know? sources?
@@Augfordpdoggie There was a friend of the court briefing filed in the state of California by Dr. Henry Johnson and his investigative medical group wherein they subpoenaed the phone company GTE as well as the state, (and possibly the Brown family as well) to have the phone records released. These things are public record. If you can't find it though these means go to Amazon to check out the film "Serpant's Rising" by T.H. Johnson. You can also find this information in the books "Double Crossed for Blood" by Henry Johnson and "The Pursuit of Exhibit 35" by T.H. Johnson. You won't find this information anywhere in the mainstream media! Keep digging though. The truth is out there! Be well and you're welcome!
The 90' s were the era of unbelievable ugly ties.
😂😂
Based on the prosecution's case, the verdict can only be innocent. Clear as day...
Exactly! I mean why would OJ cut his finger then leave a trail of blood from the bodies, into his truck, up his driveway, and in his front door? It’s ridiculous he would be guilty.
The ineptitude of the whole LA bunch, the prosecution and the police lost this case. So did the bias of the jury. They served it up on a silver platter to the dream team and they weren't going to miss their chances. Also Marcia Clark had this bitchy air about her that is difficult to ignore.
Too much blame attributed to the jury... Yes they were a bias... But that's not what lost the CA incompetent prosecution tea judge that had no control over the courtroom.... You can't blame the players without blaming the coach ..the management.. the leaders
How does someone kill two people at the same time with knife and only allegedly get a cut on their finger? And then clean themselves off so the cops only find a little blood in a bronco, all within 20 minutes?
No one can but the super negro obviously can in some ppl eyes!
It’s impossible that’s why he was found not guilty , it’s merely impossible for 1 person to stab two people to death at the same time
Oj said he took his bloody clothes off before he got in the bronco. There actually was quite more blood in the bronco. It was all over the middle console thing. You can find pics. The blood trail went from the bronco, up the walkway.through the door and up to his bedroom. Blood was all over the place. There's pictures of it throughout the house.
@@lorig7077 Lmao OJ said what?? 🤣🤣🤣
How does OJ Simpson leave a trail of blood from the bodies, into his car, up his driveway, into his front door, then get found not guilty?
Man I love watching intellectual people debate. Even listening to the people I disagree with is a learning opportunity. It's rare to hear good arguments like this.
You right dawg, there’s hella “I disagree”s in this one hear but you don’t see no one yellin and talkin shit. They kep it civil thas the way to do it YEET
dito! That is why I definitely should be on that stage among the brilliant cast.
Once Fuhrman plead the 5th, it was over...
This. Goes to reasonable doubt right at that moment.
Oh yes old Mark
It was not Mark's fault it was the HORRIBLE job of Marcia and Chris they did fucking awful. OJ is clearly guilty but the judge and prosecutors wanted to grand stand. Disgusting. Mark was a good cop.
Marc Ryan , The trial was about the brutal murder of two innocent people. They made it about race. Justice died here , and they don’t care.
Fuhrman took the 5th outside the presence of the jury,
I like Wallace Worth! He's right. They put a Nazi on the stand! But darden acted like a big baby many times in this trial. And did you really think none of them knew what fuhrman was?
R.i.p Emmit Till
This discussion should have been begun by stating who thinks that OJ was innocent.
I do believe OJ was framed.The first sign the loves didn't fit.
Wow there's over $30000 in highback leather chairs alone
They’re lawyers 😅
Also this is 94? 95?
They didn’t convict the police in the Rodney King case with a video how in the hell they gone convict OJ Johnny won the case in closing argument
In my opinion you are pretty spot on ...
FACTS !!!
I actually think Johnny gave the press quotables, but Barry Scheck won this case. Go back and watch him cross off the forensic people. Those guys were hilariously unqualified.
@@Meng776 yes, Barry's performance was the key to this verdict. Most people are going off emotion and did not watch the trial and do not accept All of the evidence.
The police in the king case didn't do anything against the law. Like it or not.
This trial was "The Miscarriage of Justice of the Century".
I firmly believe there are defense lawyers, maybe some on this panel, who would rather see their obviously guilty client go free on a legal technicality rather than see justice be served. Just so they can chalk up another win and show everyone how smart they are. Guys like Johnny Cockroach, Bailey etc. and their pals Scheck, Neufeld among others.
Great show. I could watch stuff like this all day. Wait.....I do.
Brilliant final summation by Darden? Yeah ok. Both of the final summations by both Darden and Clark were a joke. They came off like they probably didn't write and prepare those until hours before they gave them. Any good prosecutors would have the final summations ready to go weeks before giving them.
I see why they lost. They let emotions and ego blind their judgment!
They need Vince Bugliosi. He had the experience, the reputation, and knew how t handle a high profile case. OJ finally unseated Manson of the highest and most expensive trial , but Vince knew how to handle him.
The prosecution did not have the experience or guile to handle this case. They needed Bugliosi. Vince prosecuted Manson and knew how to handle the press and lunacy in court. Darden and Clarke allowed the defense to switch the narrative from OJ to the LAPD. They should have never moved the trial to LA downtown but kept in Brentwood. He would still be in prison today.
@@brianlogan4243 Bugliosi was a fool. The prosecution lost the trial because they had a bad premise that OJ was an abuser which he wasn't and that all abusers
become murders which isn't true. That's why they lost a long with the mishandling of the evidence by the police
Let’s hope this closing argument is better than Marcia’s or Darden’s!
I have to be honest and defend Marcia Clark...actually, she is pretty good attorney, but her CO counselor did not assist her at all...it appears that Chris' role was to simply muddy the water and attempt to do as Tracy by all( unnecessarily) whine and object to Silly and unsubstantiated, and stupid complaints...in my opinion, Marcia was a top level and respected lawyer who o was impressed with...I truly do not believe that Chris helped her out and frankly, Chris proved to be more of a hindrance to poor Marcia...the prosecution team certainly didn't have as chance against big time highly respected and Quality/ Superior lawyers...the old adage proves true, you get what you pay for!
She was going thru a divorce. How was she so strong
DNA had the jury yawning, put Mark Furman up there taking the 5th to every question about planting evidence, lying, and racist comments that got the jury's attention.
Nope Johnny cochrans closing arguments was sooo vicious the prosecution never had a chance 😅
Actually, the DNA is why OJ was acquitted. Compromised, corrupted, contaminated.
For anyone on the fence about OJs guilt, read the book "Legacy Of Deception" by Stephen Singular. Your mind will be blown!
I would love to hear their take now YIKES..
Probably be the same. The defense didn’t win. The prosecution lost.
This was awesome ....
The Persecution fumbled the case. So many facts or incidents should have been included in the criminal trial. The suicide note, bronco chase, more important the phone calls that Nicole made to the police. Overall the so called Dream team put on a much better defense. Amen.
When was the Show? 19??
Oct 3, 1995, on the very date of OJ's criminal verdict.
Never been a fan of prosecutors but they really made a circus of this case.
Lol I thought the commenter was going to pull a "Bill O'Reilly "
FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE
Listening to this discussion,regardless of the current state of the case,during the hearing we listen to both sides presentations and based on what was discussed the verdict was correct.Robert on the panel is not reasoning is also playing a racial card during this discussion.I respect all but my MVP is Wallace worth , a great inspiration in the teaching of law👌🏿✊🏿
Wonder if they all feel the same way now
I completely agree with the flight argument. The prosecution dropped the ball on that one big time. If they argued it as OJs pattern of behavior i.e. He commits the murders then he flees he's charged then he flees.... I think it would have been as impactful as the spousal abuse tapes and perhaps more.
Daniel Vazquez counter arguments
(If flight prove guilt, explain why guilty people turn themselves in?)
If flight from police is an evidence for murder case, then you need to send half of black people to death row.. Police wakes up black people from sleep in their homes and shoots them. They are fleeing the death squads for 400 years.
Prosecution misread and blew that entire case. it was pretty strong evidence. The blood alone was enough to convicy him plus the traffic witness they didnt call because she sold her story. So what? That doesnt mean it wasnt the truth
@@brianlogan4243 The blood EDTA.
@@brianlogan4243 Shively a convicted liar.
Kardashian looked like he couldn't believe it.
The greatest flaw in the prosecution's case was the gloves that did not fit. It only meant they could not prove their case beyond all reasonable doubt, which is a foundation for proving a person accused of murder guilty.
The greatest flaw is NOT to reconsider the Narrative.

ANY more questions ?
We were “had”…
Plain and SIMPLE
I disagree. I always thought they were such a non issue. They shrunk because of the blood. He also had plastic gloves he had to wear while putting them on. Say they were small and tight like that. Its Oj. He ran through 220 pound men. Flinging them left and right to get a touchdown. I don't think tight gloves would render oj into a helpless newborn. The one glove came off when Ron was fighting back so he was doing it without a glove. That's the hand that got cut. There's no cut in the glove cause it was pulled off first. Btw the jury said that they were voting not guilty no matter what for payback. There's an interview with a juror I believe named Bess. She said 90% were voting not guilty no !matter what. Oj could have saved millions on lawyer bills.
Was a forum held when the jury acquitted cops who beat Rodney King?
So interesting watching all the coverage since I was only a little kid lol....
You can't squeeze the juice
Three trials of the century, Nuremberg, Manson and OJ
great show
yeah, that trial was a true show ....
With Enough Prep Time TheNerdMan ?
I wish I had another hour of these gentleman debating this case.and it's implications.
Why was it wrong to have him try on the gloves? If it were his gloves anybody would’ve had him try them on. The only problem with the gloves is THEY DID NOT FIT!!!!!!
Because 1) he can twist his fingers and hands and make ANY relative sized glove not fit, try it yourself. Just expand your fingers together, it wont fit. Plus there was another glove on underneath. But those ugly shoes.....
@@brianlogan4243 Pure Fantasy, Oh You forgot the other white supremacist talking point “The old Water/ Blood make’s leather shrink” 1 I’ve never had a leather coat or shoes shrink from water. 2 As I always ask the white supremacist Please explain the EDTA I’m OJ’s blood found at the crime scene THREE WEEKS LATER which is ridiculous to claim you found… lying pieces of sh*t!!
@@travisbrown6595 lool, getting a bit emotional arent you? Name calling? c'mon man. Simpson put on the underneath white cotton inserts then his murder gloves again, its easy to make gloves or anything on your hands look too small. Just pushout your fingers. It was another stupid move by another outsmarted DA. OJ could have stabbed Ron Goldman to death while stomping on Nicole in front of that jury and they would have acquitted him. In the end, even acquitted, his ego let him down to more criminal behavior but that time the Vegas courts knew how to prosecute a violent criminal and away he went.
Because they’re leather. Leather shrinks. Simpson was a paid actor. They were worn over latex gloves. And they told him to stop taking his arthritis meds swelling his hands more
I really like Ed. He is able to articulate very well and explains his legal analysis. What is he doing these days?
You must mean Ed McMahan from The Johnny Carson show?? Ed was terrible!
This one Lawyer saying that the Verdict Form says Guilty or Not Guilty Not Innocent, But in the United States you are Innocent until Proven Guilty so the form doesn’t need to say Innocent your presume that anyway.
The FBI didn't find the photos of oj wearing Brunomagli shoes but a regular guy did isn't that peculiar?
It's amazing that these lawyers seemed to believe that the DNA evidence wouldn't resonate with common jurors. I don't know if that was true in 1994 or not but it's definitely not true today. That's kinda interesting.
Kardashian's face!!!
Says it all
All it says is that he was surprised. Doesn't mean that he was guilty 😂
I think he was alarmed that Johnny was shouting. He even turns to f lee Bailey who is stone faced
Edward Jerejian has been a judge since 2006. So he is a judge now.
F Lee Bailey was a big factor with his cross of Fuhrman and pinning him down to his lie before anyone even knew about the tapes. Scheck did a great job in the summation along with Johnnie.
Marcia sucked so did Darden. They needed Bugliosi, he had the record, media and high profile experience. Shame he was retired
OJ Simpson's lawyers defended him vigorously. Like the constitution allows.
If oj didn't do that whole bronco chase madness it may not have spun so out of control like it did. It was like 80 million people globally watching that crazy circus.
Vanatter Took the blood vial to OJs house…let me say that again…HE TOOK THE BLOOD VIAL TO HIS HOUSE…HE TOOK THE BLOOD VIAL TO HIS HOUSE….let that sink in please
You could eliminate ALL the blood evidence and there was still enough to convict OJ. The prosecution failed. They needed Bugliosi instead of Clarke and Darden.
@@brianlogan4243 No the blood evidence is all they had lol
@@brianlogan4243 No the blood evidence was the key without the blood there is no case and Vanatter had blood from all three people Ron Nicole and OJ and went to both crime scenes with the blood and he also took OJs socks home with the blood so all this so called mountain of evidence was completely invalidated by that.
Cochran was the Michael Jordan of Lawyers!!! Rip Johnnie
lol if Jordan was playing against a high school team maybe. Prosecutors were totally out played and badly chose their jury.
More like the Al Sharpton.LOL.Hope he's burning in hell.
I'd like to see Mr Cochran battle against the great Juan Martinez, AKA, the " bulldog.
@@daviddavis3389 He will lose
The conclusions deduced at the end of the show were the most important. I hope people pay attention to those lessons because that's what makes the justice system work. Great program.
But the law should be based on conclusions but A preponderance of the evidence. Our law just like our politics is based solely on winning.
@@lisakaye3919 C
This is NOT CLOSING ARGUMENTS for any trial, especially not Dbl murderer
great conversation. not surprising most of them seem to think that the jury returned the correct verdict, not guilty. even if they think OJ committed the crimes.
The video that I found the most compelling is "VINCENT BUGLIOSI VS. O.J. SIMPSON -- "ABSOLUTELY 100% GUILTY"
Vincent Bugliosi is just another Monday morning quarterback like Nancy Grace. I'd done this. I'd done that. A bunch of baloney. It's easy to say what you would've done after the fact.
Bugliosi went up against public defenders,like Clark.
Vincent bugliosi should of been in jail as well. Look up the stuff he did to a pregnant woman
What trial where they watching, shocked by the verdict? This was an easy defense case once they discovered all the blood was missing from the Crime Lab and the lead detective takes the Blood vile out to the crime scene. That’s reasonable doubt
Exactly
Most people are still not aware of that. They get their info from the news. You sound like one of the few who actually watched the trial, or is aware of ALL the evidence.
@@markb6863 well thank you, I did
Actually if you watch the very beginning it should never come to trial because shoes were taken home from the ojs house. I don’t think the booed at ojs was enough for the search. I say this as a mother who’s son had bloody noses all the time and if it happened when he’s as Lou eep it would look like murder in his crib. As a woman whose cut herself shaving her legs, that’s a lot of blood also.
@@deborahsmith9232 I don’t think you saw the pictures of the crime scene. You could see Nicole was slit from ear to ear
People will always have their opinions so I will share mine. 1.) LAPD blew it the minute they decided to go to OJ's house. Once they i.d. the victim, they shined the spotlight on OJ and, as a result they first convinced themselves of OJ's guilt and secondly, because they thought they had a slam dunk and excluded all other info. After they were deluded by their perceived guilt of O.J., they were sloppy and too quick to an end. As the one gentleman mentions, I was always puzzled by the fact that, with such a bloody scene, how was it that the prosecution focused its efforts on several little blood drops. How could OJ ( if he was guilty ) have not been covered in blood ? Then, bathed in blood, why didn't the police find large sites of blood and bloodstains in the Bronco and OJ's home. Why did police ignore possibly of a drug related murder ? What about the possibility that someone close to OJ may have committed the murder and then told OJ who went to the scene then left. Instead of investigating, authorities just like these panelists , had pre-conceived notions that OJ was guilty.
That's wat I said he stabbed two people viciously to death he didn't have enough blood in or around him for me to have doubts
The fact his blood was there and her blood was at rockingham before they took his blood is the answer
If they were stoned it be like JRE
Lol 😂 true that
It's like marsha got a message not to win to avoid a riot
The prosecution should partly take the blame for the outcome of the trial because the collection and handling of the bool samples were problematic. It did not follow laid down procedure - in other words it was unprofessionally done. They lost it here on procedure
Johnny Cochran was given the race card.
This is an intelligent discussion. I agree with glenn that the prosecution overtried the case. However, even if they had streamlined their case, the jurors had already made up their minds up probably as soon as they first sat in the box.
Justice was done for sure!
"Oh, probably 90% of us." - Juror Carrie Bess in the ESPN Documentary O.J. Made in America, when asked how many jurors viewed their verdict as "payback" for the Rodney King case.
And other jurors said they don’t know what she’s talking about
She was paid to say that and she said that’s not what she meant by that
O.J. Made in America is a revisionist, totally slanted propaganda. They didn't talk about the LAPD planting evidence and contaminating evidence. Missing blooe vials. Or Vannatter bringing O.J.'s blood to his house. It's race-fixating and meant to cause racial divide. A third of White Americans thought the acquittal was right.
With respect, don’t you think we should have more a mixture of Jury, like 5 black 5 white then few from other ethnic groups???
Sir, are you suggesting that African American people are NOT able or qualified to sit and judge objectively? Because if so, black juries find black men, and women guilty every day across the country...they are certainly intelligent enough to render fair verdicts...please do not let the oj verdict persuade you that they always support a person simply because of his/ her ethnicity.
??? Wym
It was the prosecution who chose most of the jurors in this trial
No, it was tried in the wrong city. Not where it took place and it should have. Other wealthy people like OJ, not impoverished black victims with an axe to grind with LA police.
@@brianlogan4243 who decided to have the trial in downtown LA?
I believe OJ did it. But when you get caught trying to frame a guilty man acquittal is what should happen. OJ's lawyers out lawyered the prosecution. Plain and simple.
KoolHandDuke NO evidence of a frame up. NONE.
Not to forget Judge Ito allowed the race card to be played. Clarke didnt have the experience or reputation to prosecute the case and the judge let the defense roll over him.
@@brianlogan4243 --The race card huh? Something truly unheard of before the OJ case.
I dont believe they did. Ito let the defense run all over him. Its irrelevent if Furhman was racist or not. Everyday thousands of cops black and white give testimony in cases like this and whether or not they have used racial expletives is never permitted in testimony.
@@brianlogan4243 --Well that's just too bad. And since you think it's irrelevant that the chief witness who was a lying racist makes no difference, Perhaps it made a difference to Ito and others that care about such humane things. I just wish this all had not been wasted on OJ.
And they had the tapes of him using the n word
44:26 - 45:07 the answer to that question is yes unfortunately
HE WAS GUILTY NO DOUDT ABOUT IT
DARDEN WAS A JOKE
Some people, such as the presentator of this show, have been traumatized with the verdict of that trial ever since. They can't sleep and are still crying until today.
This was taped on the day of the verdict
Listen to these men unbelievable that they just don't get it.
It's called engrained subconscious level racism. They aren't even aware of it. However it's pervasive and sadly it effects black people as well. We all need to wake up so this man's name can be cleared and his legacy restored.
That guy on the right looks like BTK.
I wonder if some day, you can input all the data into AI and it would come up with a verdict?
I'am listening to all this educated man.They,are judging OJ,they show no respect to the system.A
man sits and takes his chances
in the court system.I have never
seen so many,prejudice people.
How,would you like to have them
sit in your jury.
Apolonio Ramon How are they prejudiced? They are lawyers with different opinions about the case.
Chewbacca
What does everyone think of Brian Heiss RUclips channel? He does a lot of OJ vids & is adamant in his innocence. I believe OJ’s guilty, but some of his vids are compelling.
It's a common misconception that a person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The moment someone sits in the defendant's chair, everyone including the jury, the defence, the public and the judge are presuming guilt.
So, the reality of this justice system is this:
A person is guilty unless his defense team can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he/she is probably not guilty.
In this case, the defense team delivered at a cost of 4 million dollars.
A normal guy on the street would be in prison even now.
Wake up people!
Wow doesn’t the law state in black and white everyone is INNOCENT until proven guilty.
22:06 im assuming she wanted to get with Al
By far the best justice system in earth and a jury of his peers made that decision?! Give me a break
Who is a jury of his peers? And you people forget the jury didn’t hear all of the crap everyone else heard from tabloid news shows. And I am educated and I UNDERSTAND dna and I still would have voted NOT GUILTY. How the hell did they get DNA results back in 5 days?? They arrested OJ 6 days after the murders! Do you honestly think after they arrested OJ and the DNA doesn’t match or has errors they’re going to say oops our bad..we made a mistake let OJ go. Absolutely not! They had to keep up the charade. And if he IS guilty they still planted evidence and their is testimony that PROVES evidence was planted. So how can you say which evidence is real or planted? Planted evidence makes all evidence null and void
@@lisakaye3919 you people? If you were educated (as you claim), you would not start a sentence with a conjunction, pose a question without a ‘?’, or mix up there and their.
If you understand DNA and you still would have voted guilty, especially with 20+ years of hindsight, then you are just plain stupid. Goldman/Brown/Simpson blood on the car
Sorry, mistype…
Could not be explained by cross contamination or any other way.
And you disregard all the evidence that later emerged from the civil trial (his face when he is shown him wearing those ‘ugly ass shoes), and the evidence never put on in the criminal trial (flight attempt with passport, fake beard and cash, or Jill Shively). You are in the very small minority still sticking up for him.
Colin Powell ? Wtf does he has to do with anything
He’s black
What did Mike Tyson do?? All he did was bite another guy's ear off during a boxing match.. What was he on trial for??? 😄😄😄
Tyson went on trial in Indiana for rape of Desiree Washington (a Miss Rhode Island). He was convicted and sentenced to 6 years but served less than 3 years
What does that comment have to do with, " the price of tea" in China?? Are you ok? Stay in your lane Dude!
he was accused of raping a woman and went down for it
Let’s watch the entire trial it would be abundantly clear that Orenthal is innocent
HAAAAAAAAAA! So innocent his ego allowed him try and rob someone years later.
Have you ever used the n word in the last ten years detective furhman if you used that word have you forgotten it.
Go juice go juice go go go juice 🧃
If OJ did the killings he could only have done it with someone helping him. Did not have the time to commit the murders, get rid of clothes that surely must have been covered in blood and get picked up by Allen Park.
James Vaughan there's also the skill level needed to kill 2 people with a knife and do it quietly with out nicole or Ron screaming for help. No one can testify to OJ being at the scene.
+888 Wav There are loads of reasons why OJ could be found not guilty. Not saying he did not do it, or was not involved but more depth to the story than it first seemed
There was absolutely no evidence of a second assailant.
Maybe no one person can testify to Simpson having been there; however, the three sources of blood (Simpson, Brown, and Goldman) found at the crime scene, his Bronco, and his house sure can. HE DID IT. He all but admitted it in that "Lost Confession" he did in 2012. What truly innocent person willingly gives a "hypothetical" play by play of a crime he insists he didn't commit?!
What would those "loads of reasons" be? How do you explain his blood all over the crime scene, and Nicole's and Ron's blood in his car and house? Also, there were hair and fibers from Simpson's head and the carpet in his Bronco on Goldman's shirt. It was determined that the murderer had injured himself on the left hand side of his body, next to the bloody shoe prints that matched Simpson's foot size. OJ had a deep cut on his left hand finger which he had no explanation for. Was that all just a coincidence?
Ed could use some Soul Glo
His blood at the scene. Her blood in his house. Enough said.
Her Blood was only found on a sock, no where else in his house. Oh by the way that blood had EDTA in it as well.
First of all OJ gave a Ford Bronco to at least two of his friends. One was Al cowlings and the other one was Marcus Allen.
Umm. Ok? What’s your point?
RIP Mr.Cochran what a great lawyer and human being for the rights of people
Robert extra salty here. The evidence was weak, son. Which fucking card would pick against the “Racist” card?
F lee Bailey was amazing he crushed mark furhman and then the great Robert shaperio destroyed vannatter
The case had nothing to do with race but was made a case about race by the defence. They put OJ up on a pedestal and made him out to be some kind of civil rights hero, when in fact OJ had many more white friends then black, many thought he had long turned his back on the black community. OJ himself said the case had nothing to do with race but his defence knew if they made it about race then it might be a way out for him. The defence even went to OJ's house and took down all the pictures of white people and replaced them with pictures of Martin Luther King etc.
The prosecution made it about race when they put an admitted racist and liar on the stand.
Well, I think, to a large extent, race played a major role to influence the case
Well if the defense took down all the pictures of white people, and put up pictures of MLK, I'll call that good Lawyering.
Mark Furhman who is a racist officer made it known, that the next time he finds out about oj being into abusive situation, he was going to do everything in his power to put Oj behind bars.
Darden
😂😂😂😂👎👎👎👎👎
Emotions ran high in this trial but Vince Bugliosi (a real prosecutor) said it best, incompedant prosecution, and a star struck judge allowed race card to become a factor add a jury with an axe to grind with LA PD. Vince Bugliosi was right the entire case was mishandled and should never have been tried in LA but in Santa Monica where the crime took place not with a begrudging black jury pool that dealt with LAPD on a daily basis. Even if Furhman hates blacks it doesnt mean OJ didnt kill them. Defense should never have been permitted to ask Furhman if he used or referred to blacks as ($%#@*!S) over a 10 year period, its irrelevant.
Vince was a far more experienced especially in high profile cases, mishandled the whole thing, then Marcia Clark or her entire office. Garcetti mishandled the whole case because he wanted to run for mayor
Lol why is it white Americans can believe Steven Avery was framed but not OJ. I wonder what would happen if Tom Brady was accused. How wld the public feel abt detectives jumping his fence with no search warrant. There are 2 justice systems in America and now white Americans are UPSET bc a black man finally got a fair trial!!!
@@lisakaye3919 LOL, obviously you do not know the case facts. Then he went on that talk show of the finally relased video and pretty much admitted "Charlie aka OJ" killed both of them. I suggest you watch it.
It doesn't mean that he did do it as well
It's illegal to plant evidence in any case. The fact that OJ was rich made the difference. If it was any other normal person it would have worked as it had a million times prior and after this trial
Prosecutes did a terrible job if you want to really understand how bad watch Vincent Bugliosi's overview of the case. I never really knew how bad of a job Marcia Clark and Chris Darded had done until I saw this. ruclips.net/video/7UkXP6Ovp6E/видео.html They never introduced any of the evidice on slow speed chase, suicide note by Simpson on and on and on. It was like the Prosecutes were paid off to do a bad job.
It wasnt a suicide note and Bugliosi was full of BS
Anything bugliosi Says can't be believed. He was placed on the Manson vase because he was a puppy. The actual truth of the Manson murders is still not known. Also look up what bugliosi did to a pregnant women
Hes Dead For A Reason..
I think that damn fuhrman planted that glove and that is why they lost. From fuhrman to the corrupt police carrying blood around and the bumbling criminalists....the verdict was absolutely correct!
The glove was planted, think about it with an open mind and common sense. If OJ arrived home and went from his bronco to the front door leaving a bloody trail, how does that square with him dropping the glove as he came home climbing over the fence? Is the suggestion OJ arrived home twice from the same crime scene?
Who the hell was on the side of O.J.'s house, banging around at 10:40? A picture almost dropped off Kato's wall. Furhman was still sleeping at that time. Anyway, you could throw out 95% of the evidence in this case, and still prove O.J. slaughtered those two people.
No the glove was not planted. So you are saying that Furhman showed up at a crime scene with 15 other officers and said I am taking this glove to Simpson's house to plant it. With out knowing where Simpson was. Think about the logic.
YOU RIGHT ABOUT THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT HIS SON JASON
Too believe OJ guilty requires a mind tricked by fantasy and/or propaganda
Bob just totally mind fucked here
Reading these comments, I can’t believe that after all this time and so many facts that came out after and more importantly the O.J.’s self confession where he clearly and step by step explained who he murdered those two people by putting a “hypocritically” in front of it, there are still people here who believe he is innocent!
Did you see who owns that book tho ? Anyone can write a book lol money talks bullshit walks like OJ did 🤷🏾♀️
No one was planning on hiring oj simpson for sports analyst gigs or as a football coach. Ppl are still willing to hear about the case, its still a money topic to this day.
How come there is not ONE single woman in this panel? Law Journal from the 17th century?
I hope you say the same thing when you see laborers in the Home Depot parking lot.
Probably because they have families and the burden of home making falls on them even if they have a professional career
I will always feel for Ron Goldman and his family always, but the rest of this case is exactly what America deserves......this case was a lesson to us all!
No question about O.J. guilt. The prosecution was terrible. I agree the jury was predisposed towards an innocent result. Had this happened today, he'd be in San Quentin. The reliability of DNA was not well known at the time. It's great to see these "smart people" reacting to it as it happened. I had a terrific professor in school who was a Simpson case encyclopedia. I loved that class. (Anyone who doesn't think there was a racial component to this jury has their head in the sand)
David Gilmore You don't get it. The validity of DNA isn't the issue. The issue is how the DNA got there . If the blood was planted then it does not matter that it was OJs blood
The jury was never gong to convict him.
Black jurors convict black people everyday. What makes you believe that a jury consisting of 9 black, 2 white and a Latino were never going to convict? Emotions? ALL the jurors came back saying ng after a few hours because the case wasn't as close as the media told you it was.
If they would have had better attorneys and most overwhelming evidence...oj probably did not kill Nicole...the mob did It...Nicole thought that since she had been married to a celebrity, ( Simpson) she figured that she could probably receive an installment payment on her drugs...unfortunately, the mafia don't accept credit for people's drug debt...they still only accept cash! So after the juice refused to finance her illicit drugs, and didn't have enough money in the bank, she now had a major problem.
OJ simpson is an innocent man
You’re a moron if you believe that
