    Dead of prostate cancer karma finally arrived.

      Perhaps karma came back for him, denying him 'x' number of years he may otherwise had left. But we can't just assume his death is karma because it happened when it did. Many good natured people have died well before the age of 76 and it would not make sense to just assume they died prematurely for karma related reasons. Also, as a long time football player (and one played entirely at the rough position of running back) OJ had most likely lived beyond his average lifespan for an ex-pro football player (which is around 68 years of age by some estimates!).
      Though hardly a deep thinking scripture, the biblical idea that sun and the rain fall on the just and unjust holds true for the majority.

      And that never got introduced into the trial. A guy fleeing the scene in a getaway car after he agreed to turn himself into the police. He's got a gun to his head while his pal and ex football pal, Al Cowlings, drives away.... Then there was Mark Thurmond, OJ's missing blood out of a vial taken by a medical person (Thanno Perannis (spelling guess)) . The classic "Let's see in open court on world wide live TV if these gloves (which have probably shrunken slightly) will fit the big hands of OJ - all without trying this experiment away from the public and cameras first". Then there was inept judge Lance Ito who couldn't control a grade three classroom...

    It was hardly “The trial of the century”.
    That would be the Scopes Monkey trial.

    • @joeblog2672
      @joeblog2672 3 месяца назад +1

      On merit I would agree but the OJ trial label is borne out of the sensational nature of that case. A former football megastar and (once) beloved celebrity in a gory whodunnit in or close enough to hollywood, involving the glamorous ex-wife and her (question mark) lover. It was the sensational trial of the century with all the riveted followers world wide. On that basis, Scopes Monkey never had a chance.

    *This may have been the car chase of the century but it was NOT the trial of the century. The trial of the century was the 1925 Scopes Monkey trial, where the ACLU challenged the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that forbade teaching the theory of evolution in public schools. Two of the nation's leading orators took opposing sides in the courtroom - ACLU attorney Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan - an expert witness on the Bible. 24-year-old high school biology teacher John T. Scopes was put on trial for teaching the theory of evolution. This case had profound impact on the nation. O.J. will soon be forgotten.*

      He definitely played a part, surrendering so much control of his court to the defense. The prosecution's corrupted evidence and witnesses set the table for OJ's acquittal bomb. Judge Lance Ito's allowing the trial to drag on and on, often in circus format dismayed the jury so thoroughly as to light the fuse!

      He should have been buried BY that white bronco during the 1994 trial !! The prosecution foolishly decided not to introduce this as evidence. Just one of many examples of incompetence exhibited by the prosecution. Trial judge, Lance Ito, was also incapable of controlling his court, turning what should have been a 3 to 4 month trial (MAX) into a year long fiasco.
